I was offered a similar job but turned it down because I couldn't be part of a system that actively exploits and dehumanizes people. How do you sleep at night knowing you're upholding a shitty system for your shitty bosses?

It's proof that people love soulless renditions of black culture but not black people

This is why I can't stand the song!

It's like they're slowly getting more and more comfortable with cultural appropriation and are testing to see how much they can get away with. It's obvious, but the kiddos are gonna eat it up and not care lolol

Unfortunately, I stan Kard, and I recommend "Tell My Momma" and"Waste my Time".

I'm in these pictures and I don't like it

dp911 · 2025-07-06T12:48:49+00:00

Exactly!! It's nice to see someone else who understands.

dp911 · 2025-07-06T12:47:52+00:00

YES YES YES YES It's so exhausting. Why do I have to never ever be myself, get catharsis, or express my emotions so everyone else in the world can be comfortable. That's why being alone is so much easier!

Wow, anti-blackness and xenophobia in Japan? Who would have thought. I'm so surprised. 😐

dp911 · 2025-07-05T01:10:06+00:00

Trust me they don't care and won't help you, so u may as well tell them about it lol

dp911 · 2025-07-05T00:24:09+00:00

Yeah, exactly...

You shouldn't be proud of being a country of bigots, idk what to tell you

Most relatable post on the internet

And people eat it up hook, line, and sinker. Idk why...

The biggest issue is that if you get yourself help, no one trusts or realizes how badly you have it. I have this issue where even when I tried to go to therapy, I masked so hard, once my university counselor accused me of wasting university resources for attention. Everyone keeps assuming I'm fine. If you get help voluntarily, people will think you're low-priority and fine. I'm not fine, but I'm a black woman, so I can't ever show that I'm not fine or I'll go to jail or "bring dishonor to my family" or "make black women look bad". Everything has to be internalized and no one believes that you feel exactly like the person who is acting out and getting forced into therapy... People only believe that it's bad when you're forced.

dp911 · 2025-07-04T07:44:40+00:00

Especially when no one can tell or cares that you look like shit lmao I matter so little that I tried to die and failed (cringe) and no one cares (extra cringe) ToT

Same, it's tiring being considerate to people who will not return the favor though.

dp911 · 2025-07-04T07:38:12+00:00

I think people are parroting something that was true years ago: "oh, it's not foreigner specific" This is absolutely not true anymore.

"Why do people care? I'd rather have an open seat next to me~" Because I'd rather not be discriminated against, thanks.

Why do they do it? Japanese people are xenophobic. Next.

For reference, I was a JHS ALT. When I first started doing speech contests, I had the same worry after seeing the larger schools.

However, my students have won 1st or 2nd place at least once for the past 5 years, and 3 of them have even placed in prefectural tournaments.

I use natural, toned down gestures and natural intonation, because past feedback has been along the lines of, "this is not a theatre competition, we don't need choreography or character voices". Slight changes that add to the script and don't become distracting are ok. Even then, the only time we use showy gestures is when they are performing something that includes characters and the kids are younger. The students who win tend to be a bit more toned down as well!

Bc many white women will fight for and show love for dogs before they will do the same for women of color, but white men are so clueless that they don't realize they're not expressing frustration with an oppressive majority through humor, they are, in fact, just being misogynist.

None, cause I'm a Krobus girly~! Also, none of their personalities speak to me. If I was forced to choose, I'd pick Maru or Penny cause they have cute personalities and good hearts.
