This makes sense, considering how only about 1-2% of the population identify as aroace. The thing is tho, we are out there! I’ve met multiple people through pride events and other things in my life.
aroace people really said "the closet? no no no, i'm gonna hide in caves, in the woods and even underneath rocks, i'm gonna be the best damn hide and seek player in the world" because i have yet to find one aroace person in real life
so i know someone who claims that a majority of inclusionists are white and a majority of exclusionists are non-white, and they seem to be implying that the inclusionist movement is wrong because it's mostly white people? like non-white people know best about this issue, I guess? for context, the person saying this is white, and so am I, and i guess I don't even know what i'm asking, this argument just really confused me.
Inclusionists being majority white is laughable. This blog alone has only one white person out of four modding. My new blog, aspecparenting, gathered mods at random, and half of the six mods are of color. I make it a mission to weed and determine who’s white and reblogging from my inclusionist personal, and its very low.
Who the hell is measuring this racial discrepancy? Is it based off of what blogs make your way across your customized, limited network? Is it from the hearsay of said other white exclusionists?
If we’re gonna talk about the whiteness in the ace community, we sure as hell gonna talk about whiteness in the lgbt+ community as a whole. Because … I mean, not to be lactose intolerant, but its like hanging out in a box full of styrofoam packing peanuts.
Aspecs of color have gone to lengths to try to get their voice out there. Exclusionists saying that the aspec community is largely white is an effort to erase our voices. And that’s not excusable.

Day 11642 of my silly aroace brain not fathoming how "friendzoning" is supposed to be bad
If you're going to talk about the Vatican's role in queer oppression by using LGBTGIA+ but only ever talk about how it affects lesbians, gays and trans folks, with a small mention of intersex people, but completely omitting the way the institution of marriage, and thus the conception that only a heteronormative family is to be considered "natural", also oppresses and it's violent towards the aspec community, you're actively deciding to erase us. You can't even pledge ignorance, cuz you're using the full fucking acronym. You know the A doesn't stand for Ally. But obviously you can't be considered one for us.
Well fucks? Get to it!
