you answered an ask saying it isnt racist to be fickin with someone who is a different race. could you maybe talk a little about how it isnt racist? there are a lot of posts talking about how it is and its making me upset like there is something wrong with me and how i identify
It isn’t racist, because its not something you chose. Its something you were. As long as you don’t do racist things and use your kin identity to excuse yourself for them, then you are not racist.
Lets imagine that someone is kin of a POC character.
Not racist
- identifying as a POC character
- talking about experiences you had in the past as that character in kin communities
- eating foods or listening to music, etc that that remind you of when you were that character.
- dressing in clothing traditional to that character in the privacy of your home, or in kin communities
- etc
Racist
- claiming to be a POC on official forms, or in casual conversation
- talking about experiences you had as a POC in non kin communities
- wearing clothing traditional to a POC character in public
- intruding on POC spaces in current society
- claiming to be a POC currently
- claiming POC privileges such a ‘n-word’ privileges
