Hi! I'm Nikkei and the community I grew up in is majority East Asian diaspora, but all of my POC friends and I have been friends with this white girl since we were all really little, and she's managed NOT to grow up to be a horrible racist. (Maybe from growing up with us?) My question is: her nickname (that we gave her) is 怪火, and we've told her that it's appropriation to use that nickname outside of our community settings (like, with other white people)...which is right, yeah? That's true?
