Gregory's Server@esther I was taught the very ugly lesson that ethnicity seems to trump everything else when it comes to ethnic and religious discrimination. I mention “religious discrimination” because #Muslims are almost always perceived as being exclusively POC, and much of the #islamophobia that we Muslims face is rooted in #racism.
@esther I’ve suffered from more islamophobia & discrimination on Fedi at the hands of LGBTQ+ than I did on Twitter. I guess power corrupts. Over there, we were all equally targeted & powerless, so there was more banding together. Here, I’ve been chased off servers by folks I used to think would be an ally. It has been a very painful awakening. Minorities should stick together.
They shouldn’t be letting their whiteness dictate how they treat ethnic and religious minorities.
