it’s such a bummer that there are so many cool and unusual job fields that are like, devoid of people of color because kids of color like, aren’t exposed to certain things or don’t have access to certain things

like, you can do whatever the fuck you love for a living. you can like, make maps for a living or study the ants in a different continent or like, own a farm with sheep and sell wool or raise bees or make cheese or whatever, you can turn the thing you loved to do for fun as a kid or some shit you saw on tv into your career and so many kids… don’t get to do that

like, months ago i read this article about hannah beachler, the woman who did the production design for ‘lemonade’ and ‘moonlight’ and in it she talks about realizing that she’s the only woman of color in her field at her level, and it isn’t only because of exclusion by the powers that be but like, people not even knowing this is a job you can pursue! and i think that’s a big issue for a lot of children of color, not being exposed to things and knowing what’s out there that you can do as a job! there are so many of us that are talented in the arts, in agriculture, in every field and facet of society and i wish i knew how to make that clear to every child because as proud as i am with how many of us are excelling in STEM, a lot of us end up there at the encouragement of our families because that’s what they know as the sure path to success and class mobility and there’s so much more out there and i just want to see us everywhere, in every field

The Emoji Movie (2017)

Gentrification creates a stifling homogeneity in urban areas that makes it less suited for the everyday lives of the lower class and more suited towards the leisure and tourism of those with expendable income.

An old, decrepit laundromat gets replaced by an upscale bakery? And people are mad? It’s not that the poor hate organic vegan cupcakes, it’s that most of us don’t have a way to do laundry in our own home.

Run-down corner stores replaced by hand-made designer clothing boutiques? We don’t hate your eco-fabric shawl, but I can’t eat that for dinner after work like I could have a can of beans I grabbed from that corner store when I don’t have time to take the bus to the real grocery store after work.

What gentrification brings in and of itself is not typically bad, it’s that gentrification brings institutions of leisure and pleasure and makes it so that the poor have to go farther out of their way for basic necessities. It turns low-income living spaces into local tourist attractions. It can even create food deserts by putting restaurants, grocery stores, etc. in that the majority of the lower class cannot afford.

Imagine if someone totally renovated your house and turned it into a mini theme park - they took away your sleeping space, where you prepare food, where you clean yourself and get ready for your day, and replaced it with things that will please people who are visiting, who have their own homes they can go back to, who are here not for their entire life but just as a distraction from their otherwise mundane existence. It’s not that you hate theme parks, it’s not like you’ve never been to a theme park and vow to never visit one again. It’s just that you need to live! To survive! And the leisure of those who have more than you should not invalidate your existence.

I am glad this has made the rounds. Some people feel a dense misunderstanding or misinterpretation concerning gentrification, and I think it helps to hear a description/explanation of what gentrification is from those who are both affected by it and educated by the culture from which it hails. I and many others enjoy some of the delights of gentrification while simultaneously having their livelihoods threatened by it.

Borello was shocked to learn that not only did her brick actually get made, but that it had become something special to another group of young women on campus — and also, to a whole bunch of people on the internet. (x)  Mystery Solved.

Political correctness is the backlash. Blaming political correctness for President Trump is like blaming the civil rights movement for Jim Crow, or feminism for rape culture, or Stonewall for anti-gay hate crimes. It’s every battered wife who has been murdered by her husband when she tries to leave. It’s “I wouldn’t have to hurt you if you’d just behave.” It’s a disingenuous rationalisation peddled by people who know they did nothing to help when Trump’s Voltron of hate was gathering steam and are suddenly terrified because the stock market is crashing. Oh, now you’re afraid? Now you’re angry? Welcome. You’re late. You spent eight years obsessing over college students’ opinions on standup comedy and now a racist clown is president. Trump is a man who believes in registering Muslims, restraining black protesters with violence, building a wall on the Mexican border and non-consensually grabbing women by the genitals – and you don’t think he has a vested interest in tamping down the dissent of Muslims, black people, immigrants and women? He is institutional silencing personified. Are you sure political correctness went too far? Are you sure we were overreacting?

hello, I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again. Indians, Bangladeshis, Pakistanis, Nepalis, Vietnamese, Cambodians, Malaysians, Indonesians, Sri-Lankans, Filipinos, Iranis, and Iraqis are all Asians too. Maybe include us in your “asian representation”?
