“Yellow”.
When others say yellow, people definitely think aboutAsians as a
whole but the thing is there are other color otherthan yellow in the
Asian community itself so it shouldn’t be a colorthat we should be
seen as.
But calling someone by their color is racist to beginwith.
“Asian”.
If ur parents/ancestors r Asians
In my opinion You can be a percentage Asian if forexample your dad is
white but your mom is Asian
Asian have nothing to do with where you’re born, it’sabout the blood
line.
Ethnicity|part2.
To me my perception of ethnicity includes facts ofgenetics and culture
but also combined with influences around me. Societalnorms and
stereotypes of ethnicity is a big factor in thoseinfluences, I believe
those perceived factors are negative whether consideredpositive or
not.
A theoretical space without racism.
I don’t think it is possible for a place with no racismat all. Because
everyone is a bit biased even if you don’t noticeit. So I cant even
imagine a place when no racism at all. Racism is kindalike a part of our
life (like minor ones happens everyday) so in a way,I don’t think the
world can function with our racism as a whole.
