Inquiring minds need to know.
Yes we do.
I'm not exactly Captain PC here, but that you'd try to "other" someone from a small community like this just for being black or whatever is pretty shitty.
Everyone on here is varying degrees of 'other' in my opinion. As a whole we are one community, but i have more in common with some people than i do with others. How is making a distinction between people bad?

Othering is the process of saying "you're X. You are different from us".
It is a hostile act, and it is how white people try to harm those who do not fit in.
If you are different from us it implies that you can be fairly discriminated against. "Oh don't worry about Y, who is starving right now. He's X."
