"Sir," the dragon said, "why do you seek to kill me?"
"You're a dragon! You hoard wealth, and eat women!"
"Old dragons do that. Us young dragons don't. Kill the old ones."
"They're too strong to kill!"
"They'd be dead by now, had you let younger dragons live to challenge them."

question for alterhumans+nonhuman-IDing POC and ethnic minorities
So, I've been talking recently about the intersection of Jewish ethnicity with alterhuman - and especially nonhuman - identity, and how it can be complicated when you're part of a group that's literally been seen as equivalent to cattle, vermin, and that has entire monsters inspired by caricatures of your people. Likewise, how being visibly Jewish in communities full of goyische neopagans can be incredibly alienating, especially when trying to call out antisemitism in those spaces (I see this a lot with draconics claiming "lizard people" conspiracies are about them, as an example.)
And I'm curious how it is for people of other ethnicities and especially for people of color? Because I also notice that there's either an overwhelming whiteness to these communities or there's a distinct lack of POC speaking up about their racial identities in these spaces, and I'm wondering how those things intersect for other people?

Anti fascist goodra super tip: Urushiol is banned for use in warfare by the geneva conventions.
It's also the active oil in Poison ivy, and soluble in Gasoline, and other petroleum solvents.
US Citizens are not held to the Geneva Conventions, and that's why it's "Legal" for the cops to use Tear Gas on protests here, and not in say, Baghdad.
I'm not saying hose down the police in napalm that's also poison ivy, but I am saying you won't be committing a War Crime Doing It.
