#poc!star

i honestly dont understand where they got "white as f-ck" from anywhere in that post? & why they were so angry about it? or how the heck your post "slapped a lot of people in the face"?? but yea they seem gross.

it's even more amusing b/c i live in the middle of detroit and ppl are always talking abt soul mates and how i 'haven't found the right person'. and it's predominately black here.

so idk what that user is tlking abt saying that my opinions are "white as fuck" considering that i've heard this from lots of black poc? um?

You said before that she does stuff like that. Didn't she wear a bindi once, too?

really gross

like he's v v british but he wears this shitty faux native american headdress when he performs and there are a few videos where he's wearing really realistic looking ones and talking about how he's one w/ nature and just

gross

and sunny and my mom loooove him and i rly used to love him so his videos are always on and it's.... frustrating

sigh. jamiroquai is racist as fuck and im disappointed in myself that i know the lyrics to like half of his songs and even more disappointed that my mom likes him and thinks that his appropriation and fetishization of native american culture is respectful

by disney's standards. i'd be one of the darkest ppl that they'd hire.

and im light as fuuuuuck in comparison to dark skinned poc while still counting as a brown/somewhat dark poc

i am multiracial! i am not of asian heritage, but i am part saami native. the saami are indigenous nomads residing in scandinavia, and simply put they are of scandinavian and inuit descent. related to the inuit of alaska? except in. scandinavia.

i am also african-american, seminole native, cherokee native, and norwegian!!!! 

basically i am very, very mixed.

although i suppose in bjorks case, describing ehr eyes more as an epicanthis fold would work - not sure there the distinction between ‘just slanty’ and epicanthic fold begins and ends bc it kinda gets mixed up

i can see how it would be offensive, apologies. epicanthic folds are prevalent in continents other than asia and in certain people with chromosomal disorders- my brother has down syndrome and epicanthic folds as a result of that- so ‘east asian’ eyes wouldn’t work either. it’s kinda frustrating, but whether or not it’s bigoted to use the term depends mostly on context i would think.

i think that all ‘slanty’ eyes are considered epicanthic folds? it’s a genetic thing, so most likely. there was a point when i knew a whole bunch about the term bc i was really into researching chromosomal conditions like a year ago, but a lot of the info has slipped out of my mind.

as bjork is most likely saami, which is technically inuit and european, the term epicanthic folds would defs apply.  but it also applies towards people with down syndrome etc so i think it’s mostly a general term.

if you ever find another term, please tell me! i’d be fine with using another term if i could find one. uwu
