Proof on why I think "immigrant" is starting to become a slur in 2025.

1. The term "expat". White people want to move to another country because they see a better opportunity there but they don't want to accept accept the term "immigrant"

Yes "expats" are real things and "immigrants" are real things but if people go out and study "immigrants" they study poor people of color even if they're technically "expats" and if they go out and study "expats" they study middle to upper class white people even if they're technically immigrants.

2. Elon Musk is an immigrant. He's from South Africa. He emigrated to the United States. He's an immigrant. But oddly enough no one's talking about people like him when they're talking about horrible immigrants invading the country. Is it the money? Is it the color of his skin?

3. Obama was accused of being from Kenya literally only because he's Black even after he showed his birth certificate.

I can guarantee you in like... 10-20 years "immigrant" is gonna be the next slur that people are using.

I’m so sorry you had to draw jingle-bells 😔

Played mouthwashing...liked it a lot....

A lottttta (young white) people say shit like “I don’t feel safe confronting racists” when referring to shit like, telling a coworker that their racist joke is inappropriate or intervening when a customer is screaming at a 17 yo Taco Bell employee. when what they actually mean is “i don’t want to feel uncomfortable ever” it doesn’t matter how much ethnically ambiguous podcast protagonist porn you read or cute disability infographics you reblog, you actually have to stand up for the people you claim to care about, otherwise that just makes you a clicktivist i’m sorry but you can change that.

yes it’s scary at first but it gets easier and you gotta do it because helping that other person is way more important than your temporary discomfort and I promise you the person being a dick also feels uncomfortable receiving pushback. we will probably never eliminate this shit from society but we can do our damnedest to shame assholes and entitled people in public spaces until they behave better.

Merry Christmas to all those who celebrate !

almost got it right partner

CONNIE PANZARINO at a pride march in Boston circa 1990

[ID: Connie is marching along in her sip 'n' puff (SNP) wheelchair. She is wearing a patterned poncho and sporting a green felt party crown on her head. She styles a pair of wire-rimmed glasses with her slicked back hair. She is smiling. Attached to the back of her wheelchair is a large green cardboard poster that reads "Trached Dykes Eat Pussy Without Comin' Up For Air!" followed by a pink upside-down triangle with a stick figure person in a wheelchair at the centre (a symbol for disabled women)].

the cyborg & the crip by Alison Kafer

[ID: “Trached dykes eat pussy without coming up for air.” Connie Panzarino, a longtime disability activist and out lesbian, would attach this sign to her wheelchair during Pride marches in Boston in the early 1990s. Shockingly explicit, her sign refuses to cast technology as cold, distancing, or disembodied/disembodying, presenting it instead as a source and site of embodied pleasure. “Trach” is an abbreviation of tracheotomy, a medical procedure in which a breathing tube is inserted directly into the trachea, bypassing the mouth and nose. Someone with a trach, then, can, in effect, breathe through her throat, freeing her mouth for other activities (another version of this sign is “Trached dykes french kiss without coming up for air”). From a cyborgian perspective, this sign is brilliantly provocative and productive. It draws on the pervasive idea that adaptive technologies grant superior abilities,not merely replacing a lost capacity but enhancing it, yet it does so in a highly subversive way. The message here isn’t about blending in, about passing as normal or hypernormal, but about publicly announcing the viability of a queer disabled location. It’s disnormalizing, adamantly refusing compulsory heterosexuality, compulsory able bodiedness, and homonormativity. As Corbett O’Toole argues, it challenges the perceived passivity of disabled women, presenting them as actively pleasuring their partners, thereby graphically refuting stereotypes linking physical disability with nonsexuality.]

Obviously not mine but also funny as hell
