describe it. It just makes me cringe. I know it's rough around the edges
and I know we're not perfect, but neither are otherpeople.
Correct.
I don't exactly know what to say. To address all thecomments that have
been made would take too long. Somehow I feel likeI've said it all,
here and there.
There's truth to some stereotypes. We have our problems,and we have
our good things. We're just like other people, nothing'sblack and white,
I don't think.
I just want people to know that we are not a monolith.Asia is vast and
wide, and so are its people. Light skinned, smalleyes, short, too
feminine, meek, small, uneducated. This doesn't apply to all of us.
To someone.
You are not uneducated, you are not less than, youare worthy.
You're not ugly, people just have Eurocentric beautystandards.
Don't hang around people who only accept you beingAsian because
they have yellow fever. You are more than your ethnicity.
You're valid even if you're not east Asian, no matterwhat the angmoh
say. Your skin colour does not matter.
You can be racist even as a person of colour. Youcan be prejudiced
even as the oppressed.
To the Whites™, I have nothing much to say. The resourcesare online if
they want to educate themselves on how to not be racist.It's not hard.
You don't have to turn to people of colour to educateyou personally.
Break the cycle. Unlearn your prejudice. Grow up.
