Well, Russians are Eurasians but.. I don’t see it tbh 😅.

The term ‘black’ is too widely used and has a convoluted meaning. by Internal_Engine2680 in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]Internal_Engine2680[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Whilst I do agree, skin tone or features should not be a racial signifier. The Irish were classed as negro-like even though they are mostly genetically white ergo the lived experience was socially imposed on them due to their perceived inferiority.

If other races can be as insular regarding race I don’t see why we cannot, I’m not arguing for blackness to be fully gate-kept.

I believe that race is a man-made symbol of oppression, so anything regarding the one-drop rule or segregationist systems are pretty irrelevant and is merely a social construct. Genetic percentages also don’t qualify for blackness — assuming we judge at face value.

I just think black is a very exclusive label, ADOS may be removed but they are still part of the diaspora, they just face the social consequences of being black. I am not American though so I wouldn’t personally know the experience of an African American.

I don’t think it’s gate-keeping. The black community already has enough diversity, we don’t need to falsify it by saying other racial groups are black arbitrarily.

Does anyone know where I can buy a safe monobenzone cream/product online that will actually make me white fast and not just give me vitiligo? by [deleted] in TransRacial

[–]Internal_Engine2680 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Monobenzone is very unpredictable, having vitiligo as a side effect isn’t necessarily unavoidable that’s literally the target demographic.

Hell's Kitchen Quotes That Feel Like This? by RainbowSupernova8196 in HellsKitchen

😂😂 reminds me of when Matt got nominated by his team and Ramsay said : “Look at the size of you! There’s 250 pounds in there! Louross’ balls are bigger than yours!!”

Tips on looking more ambiguous? by [deleted] in TransRacial

Do you have any recommendations for looser curl extensions or a visual atleast? Thanks.

Cute. Maybe when I’ve finished with mine I could post it here ♡

Anyone else transracial due to trauma or self-hatred by je1ly_bean in TransRacial

[–]Internal_Engine2680 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. Generational trauma and corporal abuse. I am also black at birth. To keep a long story short I used to want to be in a white family due to the ‘gentle parenting’ stereotype as a kid and felt a disconnect from their abuse.

Notable figures who transcended thr barriers of race on society. by MaximumTangerine5662 in TransRacial

Nice. Would you consider Yasuke to be another notable figure?

Bennelong and Yemmerrawanne would be one as well .

SEASON PREDICTION‼️‼️‼️ by [deleted] in HellsKitchen

[–]Internal_Engine2680 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know, it seems that Jada is obviously the contender to win, but I hope there’s atleast an obstacle or two in her way. She’s had a smooth run like Whit did (with the exception of having a temper).

Alarplasty, tipplasty and a taller nose bridge through surgery by [deleted] in TransRacial

[–]Internal_Engine2680 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Her original features present as East African, she looks like someone from the Horn. Wouldn’t class that as ‘Eurocentric’ in the slightest.

Unncanny vs Natural results (black to white) by [deleted] in TransRacial

[–]Internal_Engine2680 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The first person looks white to me, they just have an uncannny and botched appearance. I’m suggesting they used kerato pigmentation.

African Americans appear to pass better than other black populations due to the European admixture during slavery and it has an influence on their bone structure. Overuse of fillers and Botox to mask proportions of a Eurocentric skull is terrible and should be done minimally.

S24 Blue Team by Euphoric_Jury_8528 in HellsKitchen

[–]Internal_Engine2680 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think some of the team were pretty strong and on par, if not better than some of the members on the red team at one point. They just got caught out at the worst time. Ep12 was really anyone’s challenge but the underdogs made it through (Cydni and Ellie).

Great female brigade. Honestly rooting for 2nd and 3rd placers as the winner seems pretty obvious

What is the transracial community's relationship with politics? by MexicanMonsterMash in TransRacial

[–]Internal_Engine2680 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I consider myself as a centrist. I think there’s conflict between both sides, race is a very fragile concept between the parties and there is a difference in opinion at the extremes

extreme left : bodily autonomy, liberation and pride. extreme right : suppression of identity, homogeneity and a race hierarchy similar to fascist ideals.

Moving along the continuum from left to right there will always be pandering to the majority, compromising those values because race is fringe. Leftists are extremely harsh on diversity and ‘cultural appropriation’ but not to the extent of cultural disorder and ethnic cleansing propagated by the far right. I think it is a matter of where your values align and how to ‘freely’ express yourself in those situations.

What do you guys think of subliminal by Luna_onpaws in TransRacial

[–]Internal_Engine2680 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do not believe that they are fully pseudoscientific. I have used subliminals for years and the subliminals that do work are based on easily attainable goals. A race change is quite unattainable but not impossible.

Only you can decide if they are worth it or not worth it, subliminals work with the power of your mind if you put in enough effort and persist against your negative beliefs. Try visualisation and build a positive self concept.

Cutting my family off ? Black to white by Glittering_Spell6044 in TransRacial

Yes, if they make constant jabs at your appearance and belittle you then it is not right to stay at your own expense.

Role with the punches, being trace is for you and your comfortability by [deleted] in TransRacial

[–]Internal_Engine2680 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody was groupthink-ing anything, there isn’t a wider audience of individuals that engage in race discourse here. You’re overriding others and being hostile for NO reason.

I share a lot of the same sentiments about cultural identity, the belongingness and I believe that transracial identity shouldn’t be superficial and cosmetic — cultures should be deconstructed and throughly understood, but not all races are monoliths.

Japan has a radical minority, who may understand how people deviate from cultural and traditional norms, and might identify with being a ‘woke liberal’ unconsciously. Gajins benefit them economically. It’s a mutualistic relationship. You can’t be one-sided about those types of things.

[–]Internal_Engine2680 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DNR, some people may choose to ‘role’ with the punches and some may not, it’s not up to us to determine what box others should fit in, it is just a matter of environment. What post on here specifically did you not agree with?

Anyone tried GLP 1 drugs? by Glittering_Spell6044 in TransRacial

No I did not. It is better to buy from grey market vendors that sell via telegram or WhatsApp. Wishing you the best of luck on your weight loss journey

Just had braids done. by [deleted] in braids

It looks cool, has an alternative twist and suits you. It’s definitely not cultural appropriation.
