Generality:“Yellow”. 211
I don’t care about stereotypes and to be honest, I haven’t been in many
situations where people treated me based on Asianstereotypes, but
when I meet one I will try to use my own voice tospeak up.
I don’t know who I am. I want to know what I am withoutthese
categories and labels.
Here are something I am which I feel comfortable toshare:
I am strong, attentive, loving and fragile. I am sometimesEcho,
sometimes Yuhan, most of the time I am both.
I am trying to be a proud queer feminist.
I wrote “I want to kill the patriarchy that’s in me”for my 19th birthday
wish. Later I realised that it would take my wholelife to do it, and I
will.
change to: (I want to change this paragraph "I amstrong, attentive,
loving and fragile. I am sometimes Echo, sometimesYuhan, most of the
time I am both." to "I am strong, attentive, lovingand fragile. I have
different names. I am sometimes A, sometimes B, mostof the time I am
both." if this makes sense?)
A theoretical space without racism.
I would imagine — because a space without racism suggeststhat
patriarchy, capitalism and cis-heteronormativity nolonger dominate
this space — an egalitarian world.
In that space, I can do everything in my ability,without fear.
I will have a voice, but not so much for fightingagainst something, but
directed towards fulfilling my potential, connectingpeople and
exploring the world.
In this space, having choices and opportunities willno longer be a
privilege. I grow and share with everyone else. Iwill not need to label
myself like now because there will be countless possibilitiesfor one
person. The space will be moving, with everyone movingfreely in their
abilities, and the space moving towards an even betterplace.
I imagine I would feel free. It comes from appreciatingthis space for
everyone’s contribution, growing with it, and be vigilantto fight against
any potential regression of history.
Tell.
I often deny/feel shameful that I am from China.
Correct.
Stop assuming Asian people as submissive or passive.
To someone.
I wish I had heard this when I was younger:
Educate yourself on the things you care.
