Hello! And welcome to Color Outside the Lines, a discussion space for people of color. Posted the first 3 Wednesdays of the month.
Thread Rules
- We ask that only those who identify as people of color participate in this discussion. White Avocados, while valued members of this community, should remain in ‘lurk’ mode.
- Shaming and hateful speech are unacceptable.
- Please keep potentially traumatic content safely behind spoiler tags.
- Nobody on this thread is more or less a person of color than anyone else. (We will not set clearly delineated boundaries on who qualifies as a ‘person of color.’ As a starting point, this thread uses the definition of ‘non-European heritage of sufficient prominence to affect one’s navigation of a society built on white normativity.’ However, we recognize that there are identities which skirt either side of the divide. If people feel that they meaningfully experience the identity of being a person of color, then they are welcome to participate.)
Prompt: Family
More specifically, siblings. Do you have any? How is your relationship with them, growing up and now? Do you and your siblings experience BIPOC-ness differently?
If you were an only child, what are upsides to it that those with siblings may never realize or fully appreciate?
