our media. When it is a time where we should speak, other races often
speaks for us, and at most times are giving inaccurateor even opposing
points to what we're trying to communicate through.
And due to the ingrained colorism between us, andespecially how it is
in Asia, being paler than fellow Asia means you alsoget the bonus of
being fetishized to hell, and this applies to allgender. And to top it off,
other darker POCs often hate us too, solely becausethey associate us
with being in kahoots with the 1% and/or white oppressors.
In a nutshell, the world can't decide. Do they wantto defend and
shelter us? Or to sell us out and wring everythingout of us? To accept,
or to hate?
(I think I made a few typing errors, like "non EasternAsian" should
include "country"
And "being paler than fellow Asia(ns)")
Correct.
I want people to ingrain in their minds that Asiansare ultimately just a
fellow human being being swept by the huge wave ofprogress! A lot of
us aren't that great at math, aren't extremely wealthy,aren't super
competitive, and might not be able to trace out ancestryto Asia! A
crude example would be how people are telling Asiansto go back to
China, because of COVID. But bruh we don't tell blackpeople born and
living in the USA to go back to Africa
To someone.
To my non-Asian friends, as long as there is no prejudice,we are cool.
To my Asian friends, try to be more open to otherpeople, and don't
shelter yourself from hurt through racism towardsany other races
besides (east) Asians. Sometimes I imagine the physicalworld to be like
the internet, where most of us remain anonymous. Peopleshould be
perceived by how they behave, not by how they lookڦ
