The term “PoC” is not meant to encompass all brown and black individuals of the world. Its not a general title for every non-white person; that was never its intention. Its a term that derives within western, specifically US context among like-minded racialized individuals who come under direct scrutiny and intimately grapple with the calamities of the white gaze everyday, who build solidarity amongst each other to dismantle all forms of racial oppression and prejudice, both within their communities and that perpetuated against them. Taking this word and reconfiguring it out of its intention to talk about political and social phenomenons that exist outside of white dominated areas is really counterproductive. Africans and Asians living in their respective regions are not “PoC”.

I think I’ve been guilty of that last action before, too, and this is a really good explanation of why that isn’t really useful.

imagine being raised by your otp tho

Hinata as the physically strongest member of Team 8 is probably canon. Actually canon. It is 100% true.

'Dang Shino I can't open this jar go get Hinata.'

'This is too heavy for us to lift. HINATA CAN YOU COME HERE PLEASE.'

'Hinata can you get this please it just won't move.'

and my personal favourite ‘Hinata you can’t carry both of us AT THE SAME TIME. KURENAI TELL HER SHE CAN’T CARRY BOTH OF US AT THE SAME TIME PLEASE. SENSEI. PLEASE??’ ‘Hinata my feet are still touching the ground this looks ridiculous.’

#under all of Hinata’s cub is ROCK HARD MUSCLE: canon#when she gets scared she picks up one of the boys to hold#one time Neji sprained his ankle and Hinata ran through the streets of Konoha with him in her arms it was hilarous#’wow Kiba dude doesn’t that embarrass you’ ‘what the fuck man what the fuck. haven’t you met my mama. what the fuck. fuck off.’#When she gives Shino piggy-backs no one can take it he is fucking bent in half she is so short and it is so funny#She’s the only one apart from Kiba’s mama who can still pick up Akamaru Kiba is so angry with himself

Life Hack: Don’t call yourself an otaku.
