... the biggest problem in many social justice circles is that people do not own up to their own/ and/or their communities biases. NO NOT ALL Asian folks are anti-black but the problem is that TOO MANY OF US ARE. TOO MANY ARE NOT ACTIVELY GOING AGAINST OUR RELATIVES, FRIENDS, fuck even acquaintances behind closed doors OR out in the open. And if you feel hurt by this post good. It’s for you then. No I’m not scared of your shitty excuses to be anti-Black, if you’re on this post to say some scapegoating shit then you’re getting fucking blocked.

All of these companies every year profiting off of Lunar New Year is literally,,, the definition of CA. Making a profit off of culture... god. Lol... all you did was put a dragon on top of red packaging... to repackage sometimes products that they already had to up the pricing.

[anasianamerican]

“How about we elect the right person for the job based on personality” see that’d be the goal IF millions of POC every day DIDN’T get judged by their ethnicities whether by names or how they look. People in power will say the same shit and REJECT you (I.E.: you weren’t the type of person we were looking for”) it’s ridiculous people can’t see through that.

[cries-in-espanol-deactivated202]

we may not have been able to save brandon. but the fight is far from over.

this is dustin john higgs.

in 1996, he was convicted of kidnapping and murdering three women and was sentenced to death.

this conviction is entirely false. he didn’t murder anybody.

he has been found not guilty of the crime. at this point, the only reason he remains in jail is because he was at the scene of the crime. the court also claims that he bullied willis hayes, the man who actually did murder the three women, into killing them. however, willis hayes has come forward and has admitted that dustin DID NOT commit the crime, and he’s also even confessed that dustin never bullied him into murdering the trio of women. but the court won’t accept it.

DUSTIN JOHN HIGGS IS SCHEDULED TO BE EXECUTED ON JANUARY 15, 2021. HE IS GOING TO BE EXECUTED FOR A CRIME HE DID NOT COMMIT AT ALL. WE CAN’T LET THIS HAPPEN AGAIN.

Sign the Petition

To get Dustin John Higgs off death row

American’s live to brag about how much “freedom” we have, our fight to push for “freedom” and then right afterwards go tell Black, Indigenous, and other people of color to “stop complaining” when it comes to racism. “Stop burning down buildings and ruining property” as if a life matters more than inanimate objects. “Stop damaging and looting businesses” as if they didn’t do the same shit during the Boston Tea Party, as if White people (White Americans bc I know if I don’t specify you will attack me) don’t riot and burn things when they lose or WIN a sports game or go completely off the wall when they have one speck of “freedom taken away”. GOD FORBID BLACK PEOPLE BEING UPSET WHEN ALL THEY SEE IS THEIR OWN PEOPLE GETTING KILLED, AND TO TOP IT OFF, NOT GETTING JUSTICE FOR IT. Not to mention, microaggressions, misogynoir towards Black women, the fact that the Crown Act is not even a law in all 50 states, but only in 7 states, voter suppression, health care discrimination, environmental racism, colorism... I could go on but I cannot even imagine the worst of it because I’m not even Black myself. It is not hard to empathize, that is the bare minimum- NOT my words, but from many Black activists themselves.

[anasianamerican]

Unbelievable that creators make a post about POC’s internalized racism and STILL have to act nice to those who try so hard to refute that YES- internalized racism is very much linked to White Supremacy- bc if they aren’t nice- people will say “this is why all that you said is bullshit- you don’t have a valid argument.”

[seongpinkhwa]

you guys i’m so fucking scared

[seongpinkhwa]

the pandemic is absolutely thriving in south asia. i’m not kidding. you might think the US is bad, but the situation in countries like india (which literally surpassed the US for the world’d highest single-day increase in cases) and nepal (which has seen a huge spike in cases recently) is genuinely reached horrible new highs. i have most of my extended family living in nepal, and they can’t go to the hospital for non-covid related issues. there’s barely any social distancing, around 250,000 people are homeless and have no access to proper sanitary resources, and everyone is terrified due to multiple conspiracies about the disease that are spreading like wildfire. the government is incompetent and has barely done anything to help people, and desperation is spreading. india is a bigger country with more resources, and is also suffering, but people in nepal, particularly the ones who live in slums or villages, are prime targets for the virus and will receive absolutely nothing from the government. if you are able, please donate to this fund to support children, particularly orphans, who have been left vulnerable by the effects of the pandemic in nepal. they need your help.

Here is a list of more fundraisers supporting India’s most vulnerable during the pandemic

(I am currently looking for fundraisers in Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and other places in South Asia and will update when I find them)

Korean Hip Hop Group Won Nation exposed as pedophiles and rapists

I had no clue who these guys were before this video and I’m glad. Please do not stan or become fans of these guys. It is OUR responsibility to make sure they NEVER get famous and hopefully can be brought to justice. They’ve already victimized enough women with the small following they DO have (the oldest member only has around 1K followers for reference) which is scary cause just imagine how many BIG names are out there who do the same shit and we just don’t know yet for various reasons? Their victims are all (or at least mostly) Black girls. It’s our responsibility to make sure Black women and girls are safe.

[sing-me-a-day6-song]

Please take the time to watch this video to understand what’s going on and what happened.

[tinycranberri]

anyway as Asians we need to be way fucking better at weeding out anti blackness in our communities. Stop saying the n-word, that’s not your word to use! Learn about colorism and stop mocking your darkerskinned relatives and friends. Listen to black people when they tell you something is anti black or racist, don’t just brush them off. These things are integral to the combating of racism and colorism both in our communities and the world as a whole

[asterosian]

So when are we gonna talk about TERFs’ weird and creepy savior complex around trans men

[asterosian]

We’ve literally got hundreds thousands of cis women who think trans men are all victimized by the trans community’s mere existence and need to be rescued from themselves and giving each other tips on how to do so, and they all generally tend to have a fixation on a specific genitalia set to the point where reading what they have to say about trans men like myself feels a lot more like they see me as nothing but a vagina that somehow can type. I regret not taking screenshots of this one blog that made me physically ill with describing her sexual fantasy of converting a trans man into a lesbian by loving him and “teaching” him to “love [his] female body”. They talk over us and about us, what they think is best for us, and don’t give a shit when we tell them how they’re hurting us. There’s a whole article some woman saw nothing wrong with writing about this Starbucks she supposedly went to where all the staff were trans men and she just projected her ideas of what we must feel seeing her, a butch lesbian, and how we must secretly wish we were like her. (Spoiler: we really don’t).

And I’m so uncomfortable with all of it. Not sorry, I don’t trust that people like this even view me as a person. If you’re trying to convert me into a cis woman, I don’t believe you care how I feel about anything, I don’t believe you’ll respect my boundaries, and I don’t believe you’ll listen when I tell you no.

[nothorses]

It’s like, a genuine problem that trans men “chasers” tend to be cis lesbians- in part because they see us as lost lesbians they can personally save, but also for some other truly disturbing reasons.

Trans men do not have the access to abuse resources & community that many other queer people do. Women’s shelters require trans male victims to either “be men” and be excluded from those resources, or to go back into the closet and exchange resources & freedom from abusers for… what will undoubtedly be a traumatic experience where they aren’t allowed to talk about or be who they are, lest they be ejected from the shelter & put back in danger of homelessness or further victimization from their abuser. There are similar issues around therapy, support groups, and other resources, outlined in that link.

Trans men are uniquely isolated, and this is a major problem that mostly doesn’t get addressed. The dominant way of thinking about this is that trans men actually only face as much violence as cis women do, if that, because they have “male privilege” and must be treated like cis men. I shouldn’t have to explain why this isn’t true. The oppression trans men must face is seen as “only transphobia”, an imagined baseline of oppression that is exclusively related to the fact that we’re trans- also not true. (In fact, trans men face specific oppression for being trans, for being read as women- misogyny- and for being men when we “aren’t supposed to be”).

So trans men’s problems go unaddressed, there aren’t really resources available to us if we’re abused, and seeking out help is generally uncomfortable and unproductive, if not outright dangerous. Which means trans men are viewed, by many chasers, as “easy to control”. We’re appealing to many cis people because we don’t have a lot of recognition as a group, our problems aren’t viewed as real or serious, and oftentimes speaking up about them has us decried as misogynists (for implying men need help sometimes) or transmisogynists (because talking about our problems in our own spaces somehow detracts from trans women’s problems- and mind you, this is largely a cis line of thought).

It’s, uh, bad. TERF bioessentialism hurts us, TERFs hurt us, and the TERF-created but widely accepted idea that “all men are oppressors” has left trans men as a population uniquely vulnerable to real-world abuse and violence. Anyway, please read this twitter thread by a trans woman who addresses all of this much more eloquently than I can.

I just had a memory of my probably 12-13 year old self at a sleepover.. at the time all of my friends were White. I played with makeup with them and used the whitest, pearliest eye shadow shade and thought to myself.. “maybe if I use this eyeshadow, I’ll look lighter.” I also tried to use the blush they had but none of it came up on my skin tone. Just... fuck it hit me just not about how fucked up that is for a TWELVE YEAR OLD to already be thinking they should be lighter.

[voiceofthenightingale]

Now what? After 3 weeks of protests and educating ourselves and educating others, how do we keep the momentum going for this civil rights movement? How do we make permanent change?
