RULES:

I am looking for mods!

1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

I don't understand what's the problem with happening to be non-white in Europe/US. (lemmings.world)

So, my dad and uncle both dislike immigrants and think they're all undocumented. Also, my uncle thinks only white people exist in Europe and he "likes it that way" despite it not being true.

Also, my uncle wishes the U.S., where I live, would be all-white and our ancestors are immigrants too because we're not Native Americans.

Weird...

Like, they're also fine with white immigrants (my dad), but my uncle hates all immigrants and they're always like "Speak English!" when they hear a Hispanic person talk...

That's very fair and true
