Opinions on racism in the upper class? How does one navigate?

Hey Habibti,

Most of the women who would be considered well-off are women who are from my own culture or other MENA cultures. At least the ones I keep in contact with or my mom is in contact with. So there isn't any crazy racism I see with these women but again they don't really care to interact with women who aren't Arab, can't speak Arabic, or aren't Muslim. That being said, I do remember small instances here and there that would make people feel uncomfortable though. I remember a mutual friend of mine having a crush on an Asian dude and her mother and friends - who have million dollar houses in Canada - laughing about her choice and mentioning his eye shape. They also expressed concerns that Asian genes are dominant and that if she were to marry him, the baby would look Asian. That is one off the top of my head. From the people I know the children who have been raised in America are going to be more understanding. But I've met some who have been FOBs and have had very uncomfortable opinions.

As far as navigating, I wouldn't bother lecturing them about right vs wrong. When I was younger, I would always talk to my mom's friends about what they were doing was wrong and they barely cared or have changed. Some of the more religious ones changed slightly over the years after I mentioned that it was a sin but not by much. The best way to go about it is to know who to keep as close friends and who to keep at arm's length. I grew up in a culture where a lot of "jokes" would make my American friends cry. And I was one of those girls who would be pissed off with the jokes all the time, but now I just keep track of the ones I feel uncomfortable around.

I think it's possible to look at someone who doesn't hold the same opinion as you and express your opinion, if need be, but also remaining cordial with them. It makes it easier when you are to navigate any social class.

At the end of the day, if someone has more influence and say so then you, it would be best to not attack them with your ideologies because that these people can easily say one bad thing about you and that's it for you. I made sure to express my opinions in a respectful manner while maintaining my polite, good mannered, and sweetheart image. And it's thanks to that I met women who would be considered upper middle class and agreed with me on my political beliefs when it comes to racism, etc. But I would be naive to think that if I ever tried to anger those women (the ones who would occasionally say something stereotypical or lowkey racist) that I would get the same opportunities.

Overall, look at your position and understand the power or lack of power you hold. Ally yourself with people who agree and respect your opinions, but you need to make sure you aren't stepping on any toes. Not all of the upper class are raging racists, but you won't ever have the chance of meeting those who aren't if you are too busy pissing off the wrong people. There is so much I could talk about but I'll leave it at that.

With Love,

Heart💚

inexplicably began doodling p4 again <3 so here's a collection

[biblically-accurate-dca]

for dca fandom members specifically: have you played and completed security breach?

when i say "complete" i specifically mean "played through it at least once and got to 6am", whether you got all the endings and/or achievements is irrelevant to the question

another additional note is that if you've played other fnaf games but haven't completed those then that still counts as you playing them and you can answer yes to that!

no shame towards anyone who hasn't played the games! this is just to see what the general statistics are among everyone here

please reblog for a larger sample size! thank you ♡

Honestly I feel for Sam but serves him right.

Even if we ignore the potential intermingling of the web or any other other spooky strings that are likely being pulled, there's a lot to unpack here.

I wouldn't say Sam "deserved" it, but Alice tried warning him for months. This is what he gets for sticking his nose in places it didn't belong.

Did I say the same thing about Jon in TMA? Yes and no. Obviously there isn't a story without someone doing something dumb, but I think Jon's situation and Sam's situation are a little different. Jon was an idiot, yes, but he (and everyone else around him) were forced to go in completely blind. He had no idea what he was doing and didn't have any warnings or help at all except from his creepy boss with ulterior motives.

Sam also went in blind, but he was warned several times by several people including the eldritch computer to stop and turn around. He could have avoided this if he just returned Alice's calls or looked at her messages.

But nooooo he had to poke around with his little crushy crush and get himself thrown into a portal to what we can only assume is the TMA universe. Serves him right.

I’m legitimately gonna explode if I don’t find someone else who understand the background tragedy of the Gleeful Family in Gravity falls.

"roleplay" ??!¿!!!

I drew the Pineses as ND creatures because yes :) For those who don't know, they're ADHD creatures, autism creatures, and anxiety creatures, from left to right. I'm not certain how much I headcanon all of these, but they were fun to do and I headcanon at least most of them! (Mabel's sweater was tactfully chosen for the anxiety creature one, as that's the original sweater town sweater. And I couldn't help giving autism creature Mabel a Red Instead sweater)

Looking for that one Aventurine x reader fic where they learn each other's native languages and the relationship is lowkey toxic on some level but Aventurine can't lie in Sigonian because he never needed to as a child and the language is so. Idk untainted? Innocent to him. And when he says I love you in Sigonian he actually means it

hi incoherent posting <33 but i really enjoy imagining like. a fandom for your selfship. like. what is the merch scene like. do you two have marketable plushies. do they have a matching acessory. do you have magnets in the hand that stick you together. do you come as a set. do they put you two together in promotional material. is there official art of you two together for valentines day. do you understand do you see my vision
