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?

@corgilesbian Other way around for me, Baron Samedi appeared to me in a vision and called me a bunch of names I can't post here.
