This is a map of Asia. North Americans, you may notice this map is not solely comprised of Japan, Korea, China and Thailand. People in the UK, you may notice India is not a continent. That is, if those of you who generalize entire continents can even pinpoint India on a map. Indians are Asian, gasp! And not all brown skinned people are Indian, also, gasp! There are an alarming amount of people, of all ages, from all backgrounds, who seem to be unable to process this.

I’m ethnically Asian. Since Asia is an extremely large continent, I could be from any number of countries. I am neither from India, China, Korea, Japan or Pakistan, yet not so surprisingly, I am still Asian.

Yes, there are commonalities across regions, through the conflation of cultures, colonialism, globalization, transnationalism and movement of diasporas. Sometimes these are all the same thing. Rickshaws, rice and curry can be found across the continent. But let’s not overgeneralize. You can also find Buddhists, Catholics, Muslims and Hindus across Asia. Cantonese Speaking Chinese Muslims! English Speaking Indian Jews!

No, we are not all the same. Orientalism? (Please look up Edward Said for basic concepts) No thank you.

Geography, people. It’s important.

This pops up on my dash every so often. I reblog it again, not just because I wrote it, but because nothing has changed since I first posted this.

What’s cool about Iran is that it falls in 3 different regions of Asia so depending on what part of Iran you’re in, you can kind of get culture shocked a bit. The central and western part of the country is West Asia, the north east is Central Asia, and the southeast is in South Asia.

To the folks wondering about Russia being included, I want to mention that the cultural debates and angst about that has been going on for CENTURIES. While France has been pretty fetishized all the way back from Peter the Great, there is no question that we are not Europe, even with that influence showing really obviously in historical seats of power like St. Petersburg. Nonetheless, the whole country was under control of the Mongols (The Golden Horde) from roughly 1242 to 1480, and that left an enormous Mongolian and Tatar heritage that remains to this day. The ancient Scythians are huge in the cultural imagination as well. And besides… look at the Russians who are outside the standard “Kievan Rus” phenotype (which most folks assume is how all Russians look.)

Here are three of the 30 distinct ethnic groups in Siberia alone:

And that’s why sometimes you’ll see a person with curly black hair, pale skin, and hazel-green eyes (my grand-father’s sister) who turn out to be Chinese. Mad recessive genes game at play, I swear. Mongols, they really got around.

This is because I don't see enough posts about this but:

•be patient with people who stutter (especially when you see they’re trying) •don’t finish their sentence for them unless you guys have talked about it and said that it’s okay •don’t laugh or imitate the stutter •don’t roll your eyes •if you want to know if they have one, politely ask I wanted to make this because of all the stuff I see on tumblr I never see posts about stuttering. I have one and it’s really shitty. So yeah

cleothegoldfish

Also, don’t treat people with a stutter like they’re children or like they aren’t intelligent. Taking a little longer to get your words out does not equal stupid.

I’m imagining Josh rolling on the floor, looking around, grabbing handfuls of snacks and stuffing them down his shirt, before rolling away.

A true hero.

It’s been months since my wife let me go “buck wild” at home depot.

My boyfriend won’t let me drink red bull after the time I chugged it in three seconds, laughed hysterically for 20 minutes, then slid off my chair onto the floor and fell asleep under the D&D table.

The difference is caring vs controlling.

reblog this if you’re jewish or your blog is a safe space for jewish people

in light of recent events as well as a new rise in creating nazi ocs I think this post is an important one to have on your blog if you stand behind your jewish followers or are jewish yourself.

STOP. GUILTING. PEOPLE. INTO. REBLOGING. POSTS.

I dont care if you tell me I’m a horrible person for not rebloging. I dont c a re if you say someone I love will frickin die or some stupid shit like that just because I didnt reblog a post.

This is problematic for those who legitimately get severe anxiety about not rebloging said post.

Fuck off with your reblog guilt trips!!
