Muslin has it bad but as far as fabrics go, satin has it worse here in middle America, where the fear of Satinism is paramount.

This is everything in my textile-loving world. I salute you for standing strong. The fabric of life, is needed by all.

Muslin can be a highly durable fabric with the right coating applied. It was the basis for composites before composites were cool. Only recently, on a grand time scale, have the uses and benefits of muslin been perverted for evil and certainly #NotAllMuslin

Next thing you know she’ll be refusing service to Satinists as well.

That is a beautiful piece of fabric that you have chosen to show, indeed, as are all fabrics. I salute you. Muslin, Jute, Chintzianity, Silkh, Buddcloth, even Satin worshipping, are all part of a broader cloth.

I ain’t never seen anything good come from muslin. Poly/ Cotton 2016!

I have been inundated with messages tonight as I said I would not book any muslin [sic] or Islamic client. I stand by that completely as a UK citizen. However those that want to call me a racialist. Think on. My life is with ragga and patowoire [sic— patois, maybe?] language with Trinidad has been since u was 5…

Whatever, lady.

i’m tired of white women being left out of the conversation of racism,whiteness,and culpability.

It depends on the area and the people largely. For instance I’m largely Irish and I’ve never seen mistreatment based on that really. I know it happened and to a point still occasionally does, but in my experience it’s much rarer than the number of times I see about people being racist to white hispanics let alone…

Well assuming that they aren’t a different race (i.e. Black or Asian).

North Africans have occasionally been grouped as white as were Indians (more accurately they counted as Caucasians under our more racist immigration system), also quite a number of hispanics are also white. Again that all depends on who we are talking about and in what context (i.e. Zimmerman was seen as white by a…

Not surprising, people in general give anecdotal evidence much more than they should. Pick some random topic on any side of the spectrum and you’ll see those spoke of as gospel.

Fuck anyone who’s mean to rescue dogs.

You know, this has always baffled me. My heritage is largely Irish-American, so I’ve heard a lot about Irish slavery, the “Irish Need Not Apply”, etc in “look at how good you have it now!” type stories — and I do recognize how lucky I am to be white in spite of the ugly truth of how Irish-Americans gained their…

“It’s unfair!”

Yeesh. This is probably as good a place as any to point out that “poop swastika hoax” is actually a thing people believe.

You deserve a million angel high-fives.

Not so sure about that. Historically speaking, whiteness is a malleable concept. You know who didn’t used to be white? Italians, Greeks, the Irish, Jews. Our current definition of “white” is not guaranteed to be the future one. As the white population of the U.S. sees the possibility of minority status in the horizon,…
