  • Ive never heard of indigenous rights brought up in the same sentence as Palestinian liberation, except in the abstract.

    Not just in the same sentence! At every indigenous rights protest I’ve been too since the war started, Palestinian groups have been guests of honour, as they have a shared struggle against colonialism.

    If that really is an issue for the niche automotive demographic then go talk to them about it.

    It’s used in the Linux community as well.

    The term is often defined as offensive or racist stereotyping. In some cases, users of the term assert that it is not offensive or racist, or else treat the term as a humorous, mild insult rather than a racial slur.

    *Taps the sign.*


  • If you were someone of Asian heritage posting your personal experience on a forum for car mods I would understand. That would be a useful discussion within the community about what is/is not OK and how they could be more inclusive.

    Did you know that, as an ally, one of the most important things you can do is speak up for minorities on issues that concern them?

    BTW, have you actually asked any of your friends about the term? Because plenty of minorities will just play along with slurs because calling it out is hard and results in *gestures broadly* this sort of response. Just like trans people often won’t call out when they’re deadnamed or misgendered. Or autistic people not calling out when the r-slur is used. It’s kind of pretty common.
