why do other minorities always subscribe to this soft derogatory language lmaooo

couple years ago every other minority was calling themselves colored when white folk got tired of saying black and now every minority is calling themselves brown which is an arguably worse "other" catch all term

make this s*** make sense gang

are they too dumb to see it as the inhuman qualifier it is or do they get off to it

Dergatory

gonna kick myself now, tell my mom I love her

I see native Americans and Mexicans call themselves brown

It is strange lumping all these different cultures together under one word

yeah i do this, im literally brown so..

There is no perspective less perspective. Sadly other people & cultures have let Europeans dictate how to view things “correctly” and coin terms that they then pick up and use because they civilized them? Or reasons

I only see mexicans or middle eastern folks call themselves brown

other terminology will be poc

cap
never heard this s*** before it became a common term online and like a third of all my schools were always hispanic. spoken to a decent few middle easterners and never heard them describe themselves that way either

Cain Valesquez has a big “brown pride” tattoo and he’s like 40. I think you’re just noticing it more now but it’s always been a thing

lmao i don't know where you from to hear people calling themselves colored. that's such an old ass term. Nav is indian and describes himself as the brown boy and that nigga is like 35.

Mexicans been calling themselves brown since the 80s at the least

hell this came out in 1992

Brown means Indian to me. Mexican calling themself brown is goofy just say Mexican. Why switch it up?

Indians been brown for decades let them have it

eh i could just be noticing it more now but I dont think so, it would have stood out as weird if I heard someone say it before idk
pretty sure its started becoming a more popular thing to say since it basically became a soft slur though cause ive been hearing it a lot more and they did pick up calling themselves colored a thing a few years back

Stop living on the internet. Who TF saying this stuff irl

above
thats good info though, didnt know it went back that far tbh. i guess being black I've only ever heard us described as our color never heard any other brown skinned person do it before (that still feels weird to say)

Okay , but I've never seen anyone call POC brown as an insult either

I'm Indian and don't mind Mexicans, Cubans or any other race being 'Brown' lol.

I was watching Impractical Jokers and realised that the Sal guy looks exactly like my cousin. Apart from his eye color he looks like an Indian guy to me.

I do feel the Black, Brown, White system is a bit archaic though.

I hate the term “poc”. But I’ve never heard brown being used as derogatory term.

Second generation Canadians who's parents immigrated from India definitely refer to themselves as brown

indians and middle easterns too

Nothing worse than "coloured" or "POC" like white isn't a colour lol
