#bc acting like poc CANT do those things is more of a microagression in my eyes

[saetoru]

I also hate the term white washed because what is so wrong with a poc adopting the culture around them like everyone else? It’s just another way of alienating them because if they fly with the trends they’re white washed and if they’re in tune with their cultures they’re ridiculed or left out so there’s really no winning. I think if people put half as much energy into educating white children of how to be polite and accepting instead of showing microagressions at young ages, we’d progress so much more as a society 🙂

what anon said thank you i couldn’t have said it better myself. poc should be allowed to participate and assimilate with the people around them it doesn’t necessarily mean they’ve rejected their culture !! but if they do i just feel like we collectively understand why they’re out of tune with their backgrounds and instead of hating on them for it we should show them compassion bc they’ll never rly be white enough for the white folks and they don’t exactly find a place amongst their own community im sure so it’s just a journey of accepting and being proud of who they are and like…it doesn’t sit right with me to shit on them for where they are in terms of progress with that u know ??
