some dos and don’ts for white perverts in our efforts to not be racist

A well-articulated checklist of do’s and don’ts relating racism in sex communities by the ever-awesome Sex Geek.
I don’t know what it is like in other cities, as most of my experience in sex and fetish events and parties is in Toronto. While this city is multi-cultural in that people from many different cultural backgrounds live here, it is not at all multicultural in that people from many different backgrounds do not participate in events together. Particularly sex community events.
How can organizers promote fetish parties, leather nights, sex fairs across cultures? What will encourage people to attend these events?
Andrea notes one way that has always caused me concern: cultural appropriation, or “come be a stereotype” events. As a privileged, white cis male, I can’t begin to imagine what it must be like to be a fan of an ongoing event and, with anticipation, get ready for the next one, only to find that it is all about my “culture.” Or, more realistically, a white version of my culture. There is plenty of room for learning about, discussing, engaging and enjoying the many different cultures of the world. Not only is there room for it, we all need that. However, it should be done in a respectful, humble and appropriate manner. I do suggest you do scroll to the end of the post to read a compelling comment.
