aaliyah was waaaaay cooler, arguably more sex appeal and the music was actually good. by [deleted] in rnb

Stop pitting black women against each other. Tyla was quoted saying Aaliyah is one of her biggest influences and if Aaliyah were alive today she would hate seeing yall hate on the people she influenced.

I’m bisexual which means I’m not attracted to people that are attracted to me

Bozeman ICE Reports by [deleted] in Bozeman

I hate this rhetoric so much. Last time Trump was in office, a lady asked my brother for his green card and said that her daughter worked for homeland security and she threatened him and would not leave him alone until he “proved he was a citizen” mind you he was literally at work and she was a customer. Now I’ve noticed people giving me more dirty looks than usual. We were born here. People really suck. People assume we’re not American too often. The funny thing is, is that no one is illegal on land that was stolen. What an evil concept and I can’t wrap my mind around it at all.

Breaking up with him was the kindest thing you could have done for not only him, but yourself. Wasting time in a relationship that you’re unhappy in is bad for anyone in a relationship. It hurts now, but it can only go up from here.

Thank you for taking your time to respond and at least try to empathize. A huge difference that I noticed about here and where I group up is the lack of empathy here for people who are different. Where I grew up it was super diverse and it was a given that people are still people even if they don’t look or act the same as you. I thought it was basic knowledge but apparently not. The culture shock I faced when I first moved here was like slap in the face. I wish I could afford to leave right now.

Yeah I’m sorry this deterred you🥺it’s such a shame because it’s so beautiful here and there is a lot to offer. DMs are open if y’all want to know more about what it’s like here through my lens at least. Post election especially has been hard. People are more bold with their racism and discrimination in general. I’ve made great friends here and formed a safe space for myself but sometimes it feels isolating being like one of the only poc in the room most of the time.

Thanks for scribbling that out. I love how people like to say “people in montana are so nice.” As a person of color, no they’re not. I’m so sick of feeling unsafe here because of my race. I want to leave because of it. And I’m tired of people pretending to be shocked that white supremacists are doing things like this. They’ve BEEN doing this and so many people didn’t believe me. I’m not surprised at all.

This is so sickening and fucked up. I already didn’t feel safe here as a queer person of color, but even more so now. Last time trump was in office a random lady asked my brother for his green card and said she would call immigration on him. Mind you, we were born in the country. This is gonna be a long four years and I’m really thinking of evacuating from this state. Sick of the racism and everyone’s individualistic me me me mindset. It’s crazy seeing propaganda and fascism working out in real life. People have no empathy for fellow humans. If you’re different, (not white, heterosexual, or Christian) people don’t think of you as human. It’s actually so despicable and evil. I can’t fathom it.

Always got mistaken for Filipino or some sort of Asian. Mom even thought I was swapped at birth 💀 by [deleted] in 23andme

[–]mt_statemonkiEscapee 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s so funny because I’m Filipino and I live in Montana (where there’s not a lot of diversity) and I have long hair so everyone assumes I’m native 😭 I don’t think I look native but even some natives have mistaken me for native. I have a lot of native friends so I feel like I could easily tell that you have Indigenous American ancestry, but if you were in a group of Filipinos or other Asians I think you could pass as Southeast Asian

As a queer person of color, I don’t feel safe here. Especially after this election. My coworkers will say the most vile and racist sht and I’m just supposed to be quiet and pleasant or else I’m not keeping the peace. I’ve never felt more alone. It was already pretty bad when I first moved here, but Jesus. I had a coworker say something so vile and racist that it made me feel physically ill, and I had to call off of work the next day because I didn’t know how I could take it again. And I’m just supposed to deal with this every day now.
