Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How is dating with your mental disorder if you have one?
8·4 months agoASPD here, like others with my condition I find it hard to have a relationship that goes on for more then a few weeks. I get bored of people really easily and I can’t empathize with anyone else.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Shows that were only popular in your country?
11·4 months agoReally? I don’t see how anything he did was racist. I understand why you wouldn’t do blackface in America but In Australia they don’t have the same history of Jim Crow and Minstrel shows that America has.

It could be a decent website if more people used it.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you ever use words from different countries?
2·5 months agoThat’s not what I mean. Like do you use any words that are pacific to that language. Like in German they have a pacific word for the day after tomorrow. I forgot what it was though.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What countries have the best flags?
33·5 months ago. Argentina, bog standard three stripes and something in the middle design no different from El Salvador’s, Guatemala and Honduras’s.
. Canada, same as the Argentinian flag but worse because of its use of a leaf. By far the cringiest flag.
. Japan, it’s just mid.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why do many Americans seem to racially stereotype other Americans solely based on their appearance?
2·5 months agoThis isn’t just an American thing. People get stereotyped all over the world. I’ve experienced a lot of it myself as a racially ambiguous person in New Zealand, Britain, Australia and America. Anywhere where people can tell the difference between different types of people people will start stereotyping and categorising.
As I’ve already brought up I’m pretty much an ethnic chameleon. Throughout my time I’ve been mistaken for a Latina, a black girl, an Arab, a dark skinned Asian and an Indian so I do have experience with what it’s like to be perceived as different groups. I’ve even been mistaken by other people in those groups.
When I was perceived as Asian I was very fetishized. A lot of people assumed I was a prostitute of some sort or a mail order bride. Same as Latina. Latin people are very fetishized so I would meet a lot of guys desperate to make their Latina fantasy come true. Some even asked me to speak in a Spanish accent for them. It was cringe but I had to take what I could get. /°~°/ When people thought of me as an Arab they would ask me why I wasn’t wearing a hijab or acting like a typical Muslim. As if all Arabs are Muslims. If not that then they would give me speeches about how hard it must be to be a liberated woman. There was also a brief time I cut my hair short for a play I was in and people through I was a lesbian so they would ask me questions about ‘what was it like to be a Muslim lesbian’ and ‘if my parents still talked to me’.
I see where you’re coming from. In America it isn’t necessarily racial hatred more just tribalism. As someone who doesn’t belong to one group this is very inconvenient to say the least. It’s better in other countries like Australia or Britian. Over there I was never singled out for having dark skin or for not being visibly white.
