Do you also feel weird about people making such a big deal about ethnicity? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Exactly my views as well, love it!

Is it a pattern that every time a movie, show or animation that doesn't have a white person as the protagonist is attacked by right-wingers? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

All that is, is weird.

Only proving that racism is learned and not something someone is born with

Well I'm in my 20's and that's how many of us communicate

That's exactly what I think is fucked up, you're completely right. The fact that people force this on others and don't just view them as just another human especially when it's on a government level is really awful. But also the Internet often is full of racist stereotypes. I hope there will be some bigger movement some day that will change this drastically at least in first world countries.

Very interesting! I'm going to read into that.

Just saw the post of some dude who said all Germans are racist because they don't have black people.

People like this just make me cringe. I also know some people who say they will only date a specific ethnicity like only white or only Asian people and I think it's very weird.

I wonder where this movement started where people overly obsess about this. Can't we already just treat people for who they are/their personality and not judge them by their skin color and also not prefer some ethnicities over others?

How good is Lemmy dealing with censorship and why does the sign-up process on lemmy.ml involve having to copy a sentence from "The Principles of Communism"? (lemm.ee)

Hey everyone, I'm new to Lemmy and just starting to figure this site out. I mainly moved here because of the censorship on Reddit where they didn't publish posts that included the slightest word not allowed by their filter and they removed/blocked lots of content. I wonder if it will be somewhat better here (on the official site it says "Censorship resistant - By hosting your own server, you can be in full control of your content.").

The weird thing I saw with Lemmy was when I wanted to sign-up on the "lemmy.ml" server instance that according to the official Lemmy Servers listing page is a "A community of privacy and FOSS enthusiasts, run by Lemmy’s developers".

So I thought I try that one when it's from Lemmy's own developers. When I wanted to sign-up it required an application that you needed to fill out with one of the requirements being having to copy a sentence from the link provided which links to some article called "The Principles of Communism" which I thought was very odd for a site to do. I've never seen a site like this promoting some ideology that directly where it's part of the sign-up process to almost pledge to some political or religious ideology.

This seemed very sketchy to me. Does anyone know something about this?
