poc isn’t an adjective - i’m not a “people of colour blogger”, i’m a blogger of colour

don’t say poc if you mean a specific group of people. black lives matter isn’t about all poc. it’s about black people

you don’t need to tell us about every instance of racism you see. if someone’s said something racist about us & we weren’t there, sure, we probably do want to know. but if it’s along the lines of “can you believe this person was racist”? yeah. we can. we don’t need you to remind us

if you have a friend of colour, please don’t expect them to give you the rundown on every racialised issue you see. i’m black. that doesn’t mean i’m automatically an expert on how the modern beauty industry is influenced by india’s colonial history. i don’t speak for all poc - ask someone who’s affected by it

remember that talking about race is tiring. wanting to be more aware of it is great, but discussing exactly how white supremacy affects our lives is frankly depressing. please respect that we don’t always want to do that

if you ever say you’ve “got an [ethnicity] friend” so you can’t be racist to try and sidestep being genuinely called out for racism, i’m stealing your friend. you’re tokenising & they deserve better

poc aren’t a monolith & individual ethnicities can trivialise the racism they don’t face. just because you’ve heard a brown person say the n word or a black person be anti-asian doesn’t mean it’s suddenly okay

talking about our relationship with whiteness ≠ “making everything about race” & anyone who says that from now on owes me £150

is incredibly patronising - and this is just a small example of the nonsense i’ve had in tags, responses, and my inbox. if you don’t think a black person telling you something about racialisation is believable or important without your saying so, you are part of the problem, and you need to self-reflect before you start trying to contribute to the conversation.
