Reply to comment by ziq in Do you consider white people with dreads to be harmful cultural appropriation? by ziq

you could be case-specific like, beige-olive, or tannish-crimson? ; myriad hues

I think I'll just stick to 'white' to describe people of European descent instead of holding a color chart up to everyone's face.

do you consider yourself white or is it just a label you apply to other people?

I'm from Western Asia. You can call me white if you like, I don't give a shit. You're the one kicking and screaming over the word.

um . you evidently do apply the label to other people. i was asking whether you have any experience with self-identifying as white (or some other colour, perchance) so that i might understand the question about dreadlocks and harmfulness.
