In the context of American society, no. “Ethnic” as an adjective is almost exclusively used to refer to minorities, especially as a synonym for black people. Norwegians are not a part of that group any more than my ethnicity (white quebeçoise) and our general features are considered “ethnic.”

Dafuq did I just read?

Btw, just google “ethnic hair”, in case you still want to believe that White Norwegian hair qualifies as ethnic.

I’m pretty sure this place wouldn’t specialize in “ethnic hair” if it was catering to white Norwegian women, so that should be a big clue why “ethnic” is used in a very different context than for example that wikipedia page explaining ethnicity.
And you as the white woman should absolutely trust that the black woman…

If you are Norwegian and have thick straight hair, isn’t that ‘ethnic’?

She’s never been an anti-vaxxer, she’s questioned things because it was trending in society. She’s never said The Secret is anything but a possible tool, not the be-all end-all answer. She created a school meant to rival any exclusive boarding school in Europe or America for those girls so they would know and learn…

 Yes, well – much as you’d obviously like it to be like that, the issues you were talking about with Kyo don’t just disappear just because you have a “bad week”. The whole entire point of the conversation is, was, and continues to be that WOC have to keep going regardless of how bad our weeks are – and the extent to…

The invasive interviews also force poor women into the following dilemma: you either provide all the information truthfully, after which there is a record of every single mistake or shortcoming in your personal, financial, and educational life, which can be used against you in various proceedings, including those…

“Speaking of this moment, as a culture we’ve gone from not listening, hearing or believing women, and how were we going to skip over the whole part where women get to be heard, and go straight to the redemption of the perpetrators?” Ferrera responds. “Can’t we live in that space where it’s okay for perpetrators to be…

Well, when your entire agenda is basically a retrograde, reactionary return to the robber baron 1800s where only white male property owners were permitted to vote - and you’re in the 21st century - and your cover is that you’re “attempting to govern”, you’re going to have a few problems.

Suggestions to the Democratic Senators and Congress people who surf Kinja. Because there’s so many of you

When you campaign for the upcoming elections, stop calling them “entitlements” and instead call them “earned benefits”. “Entitlement” is a tainted word, Republicans say it with a sneer, when they say it they think…

I wish you’d run up and down the thread and post that link in response to EVERY SINGLE MAN in here “butbutbut”-ting and doing the #NotMe like Russell Simmons and the #NotAllMen like a full-on Matt Damon. That piece was written just about a decade ago, and we’re still having this conversation. Literally tens of…

“how many talented women there are whose careers he may have derailed, whose work he may have trespassed on, for the sake of his sexual whims.”

I’m not sure any of us who are WOC really expected him to be all that different from anyone else in the rest of the world. There wouldn’t have been skits like this

“She feels awful, as if this is our responsibility because we’re white women. And it isn’t”

Not sure I ever thought I’d be up here defending a white millionaire dude who certainly doesn’t need my help, but Jimmy isn’t crapping on Roy Moore. He has enough foresight to see what some people who aren’t constantly calling their Congresspeople don’t (looking at you, Cali and Jersey - you’re going to be in the same…

Jesus Christ. Some of these comments are such a goddamned shitshow. First, just because Republicans have rallied around men who have done worse than Franken doesn’t mean that Democrats owe Franken a fucking pass. The manner in which so many Democrats are dismissing the experiences of the women who Franken violated is…

The entertainers whose public and professional careers should be ended right now:
