A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

I have had close friendships with two black people. One was originally from Usa (which probably qualified him as African American for your question), the other was originally fom Nigeria, but was a German citizen.
I live in Germany btw. where nearly everybody has white skin color.
Right, I know we have a lot of international users here on lemmy, so I wanted to specify Black Americans, the descendents of slaves. For instance, one of my friends and coworkers is a very dark skinned Tunisian, but that's a very different culture than the one I was asking about.
No, I am only German, not international.
Do you exist in a nation?
Yes, I exist.
Then you are international.
Correct.
Incorrect.
"international users" means "users from all around the globe". The whole murica thing was just your own biases you inserted into it.
But that's okay, I understand everyone on lemmy has a daily quota of "murica bad" comments they need to shoehorn into unrelated things, so I won't downvote you.
intranational. Easy mistake.
*whoosh*
oh wow, it's been like a decade since I saw someone do a "*whoosh*"
Did you just praise yourself for doing a thing you hadn't seen in a long time?
No value judgement, just noting the change of fashion. We're clearly better off without it, but it's a bit nostalgic.
Based move on their part, even if I do not agree on the 'whoosh', hahahah
