Yea I don't know why some people online are so rude I'm just trying to ask genuine questions..
I don't think that's too much to ask for. If humans really wanted ending racism they could do so
So are you saying it's only when you have dark skin? Because I often heard it's also the other way around that some Americans generally separate based on that, just wanna make sure.
In some online content it seems like people with darker skin in America sometimes group together called "African-American community" and I'm not sure if they would accept you and interact normally with you when you have lighter skin
It's sad to me that some people divide and label people based on their appearance or where they come from. My wish is to just connect to people regardless of how they look and see each other as a person instead of "black", "Caucasian", "Asian" etc.
Why do some people online have to say this? Racism is a real problem in this world if you didn't know before
Hi I'm from Europe and unfortunately in the past few years I realized how much racism there is in the world which really messes up my mind since that concept didn't exist for me as a kid and I thought it's normal that people look different.
Having very pale skin and not having visited too many countries I was wondering if I might encounter any problems in America because of my skin. Can I just talk to anyone or will people reject me because of my skin? (I have blond hair too)
Hey everyone, I'm new to Lemmy and just starting to figure this site out. I mainly moved here because of the censorship on Reddit where they didn't publish posts that included the slightest word not allowed by their filter and they removed/blocked lots of content. I wonder if it will be somewhat better here (on the official site it says "Censorship resistant - By hosting your own server, you can be in full control of your content.").
The weird thing I saw with Lemmy was when I wanted to sign-up on the "lemmy.ml" server instance that according to the official Lemmy Servers listing page is a "A community of privacy and FOSS enthusiasts, run by Lemmy’s developers".
So I thought I try that one when it's from Lemmy's own developers. When I wanted to sign-up it required an application that you needed to fill out with one of the requirements being having to copy a sentence from the link provided which links to some article called "The Principles of Communism" which I thought was very odd for a site to do. I've never seen a site like this promoting some ideology that directly where it's part of the sign-up process to almost pledge to some political or religious ideology.
This seemed very sketchy to me. Does anyone know something about this?
