Alright everyone I've made a gogle doc! This is a list of words and descriptive phrases to describe dark skinned poc readers/characters. This list is to help people respectfully write poc better!

This list is incomplete as I just made it, I'll add to it regularly

But you can also add to this list!

Too add too the list you can either send an ask with the word/phrase and I'll add it, it you can add it yourself by fallowing the link!

Now some rules

ABSOLUTELY NO USEING FOOD DESCRIPTORS OR ANIMAL DESCRIPTORS

If your confused on this then I'll explain, but essentially I've seen a lot of poc tired of being described with food/animals. So treat it with the same creativity you'd treat pale skin with

Be respectful of the purpose of this list

Be racist get blocked, 😃 I'm not gonna put up with bs today

Make sure the word isn't something that has a bad double meaning

More rules will be added as I go along

Poc are always welcome and I'd love if you'd add to this list

Arthur Conan Doyle never put Holmes in a deer stalker (also “elementary my dear Watson” is never said in the books, and he doesn’t smoke a curved pipe)

I especially remember the anti-Karen I helped once. After spending quite a bit of time helping her, she asked to see my manager. I had just started out a few weeks earlier, and let me tell you I got so scared hearing those words. I told her my manager wasn’t here but that if she had something to say, an older colleague was in charge of us interns. She went to him (I was basically dying inside), and told him that I had done tremendously good work, and that she wished he told that to the manager. It was so kind. 

I also remember the young man who, upon learning I was an intern, asked me what stuff I still had trouble doing and asked for just that. We both knew he had no intention of buying that plain stone, super expensive custom-made tabletop. But he thought it would be a good occasion for me to practice with no pressure. He let me take all the time I needed to get it right. That was nice.

The old lady I helped twice, and who wanted to add some details and order her furniture in a month or so ; when I told her I wished her well because my internship would be over by then, she seriously considered rushing a little because she wanted to keep working with me. It was nice.

The three 30ish friends who worked at some factory for what I know to be low wages, that I helped for two hours with some complicated kitchen layout. They wanted to give me a tip, even though tips are far from common in France, let alone in Ikea. I refused because it was against the rules. They insisted I was barely paid and did great work. Still no. They gave me some papers back, and I found 10 euros inbetween the pages. 

The lady who also wanted to give a tip -and let me know that I should check the third drawer in the exposition kitchen. I found 20 euros there. 

The woman who thanked me for making her very shy teenage daughter laugh to tears while working on their kitchen plan.

Curiosity killed the cat but satisfaction brought it back

For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness and pierced themselves through with many sorrows
