@aral went off on me for calling him a white dude, countering that he's "middle eastern." Which fine, that may be his ethnic background but nobody sees his photo and sees a PoC, he is as white as the rest of Ireland, which is where he has lived most of his life. Furthermore, he explicitly identifies as "European" on his own company website.
I could use my Sicilian ethnicity to call myself "Mediterranean" but I know society grants me the privileges of a white man so I don't.
@reflex@retrogaming.social You don’t know shit about me, David. I didn’t spend most of my life in Ireland. We arrived here a little under five years ago.
So, again, stop spreading lies about me, stop wilfully misidentifying my race, and stop harassing me.
@aral According to him any black person can't identify as European either. There's a sick logic to that, I guess.
