I know people don’t like talking bout this shit , but guess what , I’m talking about this shit . I’ve NOTICED both IRL and Tumblr that the racism against East Asians , south asians , south East Asians is EXTREMELY normalized in our society .
People take our culture and commercialize it , people take our resources ( sometimes even going so far to dump first world countries trash into asian countries ) , people invalidate OUR struggles as poc ( yeah , that’s right ! we’re fucking POC you ignorant shitheads ! White = European ancestry , poc = NOT EUROPEAN ANCESTRY ) and it culminates into this culture of abuses against asians .
And yes , don’t even try me : other POC are racist against asians , it’s not exclusive to white ppl
now , I know that people are gonna bring up other poc , but PLEASE asian racism is so fucking ignored and this post is for asian racism ok ?
We got to recognize the subtle nuances of our behaviour that can be seen as racist to asians , for example :
Ching Chong : also self explanatory
pulling the corners of your eyes to make it squinty
also microaggressions of: “LOL your eyes look like they’re closed!”
or “you’re too dark-skinned to be asian !”
making fun of nail technicians KLJAHD god fuck everyone
wearing our cultural clothing ( esp buddhist clothing ) just for fun
calling our food dirty ( MSG being unhealthy is a myth folks ! )
using our language for AESTHETIC UWU
mixing up Chinese, Korean, Japanese ( because we have a history of people saying that we all look the same ugh )
what I’m tryna say is that people should check their own behaviour because if you can be conscientious of being politically correct , you can be conscientious of how asians are being oppressed .
Just because some asians are wealthy and well-off ( model minority myth ) does not mean it negates the validity of their struggles , remember that
