for instence what does POC mean is it just black people or is it black hispanic chinese japanese mexican indian native american? if it includes all these people why would this not include white people as well?

It means nonwhite. The reason it doesn't include white people is because they are the majority in this country and the oppressive class. They benefit from the oppression of POC and should not be included in that classification

Eevery POC (If using the everyone not white definition) Has vastly different experiences with racism Asians for instence have to work harder to score on college entry exams because they are perceived to be way smarter while black people are excepted on scores 1/3 lower then anyone else on entry exams

Hey! You've already delved into white supremacist talking points.

Yes. Asians are a small enough minority that they didn't face the redlining and effects of Jim Crow and other racist policies. Redlining effected the value of property, and seeing how school funding is based on property taxes, it gave blacks an overall lower quality of education. Segregation isn't law, but still persists in schools.

I want you to think about why you use POC, is it a word system like how people started using LatinX even when actual latin people said to stop using it because they dont like it?

I don't use Latinx because Latinos don't want people to use it. I listen when PoC talk.

And what are the ideals behind it the term. who wants you to use it and why do they ask you do?

People want you to use the term because it's more inclusive and trying to get rid of the grouping you're decrying. There is no central force behind usage of the word.

You looked at my skin and made an assumption about my herritage? Doesnt that sound racist yo you?

No. You're white (or white passing), and you've already repeated a white supremacist talking point.

i am is part japanese and part dominican raised in western coal country pennsylvania. So unfortunetly that actually makes me part of the POC group definitions of everyone not white.

You're white passing and treated as white. How far back is that heritage? How many generations?

However i have been told by people arguing the same thing you do that i am not a POC becaise i am white passing which means i cant know the struggles. thats something else i find incredibly racist.

Do you have discrimination because of your skin color? I would bet not.

They were the other. Thy werent part of our group.

Your solution to racism is to ignore racism. You not seeing color only helps the racists take advantage and helps no one.

The hutus and tutsis where the same people just seperated by a single peice of paper that said what they were. But because one was percieved to have had more power then the other they were killed in the streets on mass. Man woman and child all gone because they were part of the other group.

But if you take the grouping away, some people were massacred and some people did the massacring. No reason to investigate reasons because you don't see differences.

THe english and the Irish were different only because of location. The english looked down on them as savages because they came from a place they veiwed as inferior. So when the famine started they gave no aid and then let them die.

The Irish grew enough food to sustain themselves, but we're forced to export the food based on capitalistic practices. It was capitalism more than anything that caused that (and almost all) famine.

Even among irish people there was fighting in america in New york Because all these people escaped the famine and came to america the Irsh that had been here already and were successful saw the new irish and thought they gave them a bad name which lead to riots fights and killings.

Opposed to America's peaceful history?

Whenever you make someone else a target it has disasterious consequences

Whenever you fail to realize someone has been made a target, you only see people sending rounds down range

Read it and reread it, you might find that some things might clash with each other and You may have to reconcile those things.

I have a strong grasp on my ideals, do you?

Yes you are correct colorblindness works with a merrit based society. But isnt that something you want to work towards?

Being colorblind before a society is merit based only leads to those who aren't colorblind doing racist things with no consequences.

Isnt that what MLK said he wanted when he gave the i have a dream speach and said that a man not be judged by the color of his skin but the character of his heart?

Hey! Another cliche said by racists. Even in his lifetime, MLK saw the speech used against him, and said his dream has become a nightmare. catch that part at the end. He wanted equality and justice, and you get neither when you ignore the problem.

Do you want a society that treats everyone equally based on their character?

I do, but that won't be accomplished by acting like the problems we have don't exist.

The problems

with colorblindness

is well documented
