Lilo and Stitch presenting an accurate representation of Hawaiians perspective on luaus held by tourists. 

This sort of authenticity comes from accuracy and authenticity in casting choices. The fact that Chris Sanders as direct/writer facilitated that does not mean he gets credit for the actors’ experience.

Because she’s there, entry fee for pride is £75! For fucks sake! if pride really is “for everyone uwu” like y'all screech on about, what about people who can’t afford 75 quid to get in to their own parade?

Need I remind you all that london pride allowed violent transphobes to the front last year? we are STILL fighting for our fucking rights to live our lives and this cishet singer who made a biphobic song THIS YEAR is headlining, profiting, and forcing actual gays out of their own celebration. Fuck Ari.

it effects everything.

being trans is easier when youre white.

being gay is easier when youre white.

being disabled is easier when youre white.

being a woman is easier when youre white.

being autistic is easier when youre white.

oppression is eased when you are white, as you get extra privileges, and your whiteness is seen as a positive characteristic that in some ways counter-balances your other forms of being a minority. whiteness controls everything.

you are automatically way more innocent in your own oppression as a gay, trans, disabled person because of your whiteness.

White people reading this, you’re gonna feel at first indignant or ‘that’s not true’ about this, or maybe guilty, but this is the truth. You cannot control being white or having white privilege. While your trauma and struggles and oppression are harmful, painful, and damaging, you do not have the extra layer of oppression that not being of European origin gives you and you do have these privileges. 

Take that moment to feel the guilt and indignity and then set it aside. They aren’t helpful or useful, not for yourself, and not for anyone else. It’s a painful truth, but it’s one you cannot afford to ignore if you want to be an ally to others in your community.
