It’s my first time seeing comments like on your previous post on Lemmy. I share your views on skin colour/looks and I think every human being is equal. We all look different and unique and we should embrace that uniqueness.

I totally see where you’re coming from and I’m wondering if there’s some misunderstanding going on. You didn’t even mention America in that post yet others judge you because you’re “obviously an outsider”. I feel like there might be two conversations going on here that don’t completely align here.

I think perhaps these people are referring to the need to put people in boxes just because many minorities are suppressed and need to be heard. So basically if you’re part of a minority and you are being mistreated you naturally feel more comfortable with other people in a similar situation and thus you’re automatically putting yourself in that box (I don’t mean voluntarily). And in order for that minority to be heard they need to stand up for that minority/group of people.

I can see why this comes across as racist and I can totally see where you’re coming from (like I said, I share the same views about equality and your looks should not matter at all).

But this leaves me with the question whether these people just didn’t understand where you were coming from? They are kind of turning you into the bad guy when in my eyes you definitely aren’t.

True, sometimes it’s really simple ones, too. And sometimes I do spell it correctly but when I reread it I start to doubt myself because the word looks weird. Even though I did spell it correctly.

That’s true! I’m honestly not sure why we need to have both ei and ij. Must be difficult for people learning the language.

In Dutch we pronounce it like “way”. It’s much shorter than double U.

I use Actual. How it works is very similar to YNAB (you budget the money you currently have) but it’s open source and privacy focused. I started using it a few months ago and I really like it so far!
