On the WEIRD Wasian discourse, as someone Asian and White.
The Wasian meetup event itself was Americanised, shit, and dumb, it should not have happened under this HEAVY political climate and the ucomfortably weird fetishising trend of wasians in media lately. Also because of the fact that wasians of south asian mix were denied access to the meetup.
Now being wasian is a specific experience, being blasian is a different specific experience, and being mixed asian is another specific experience as well. Each deserves to have their own community where their experiences are understood and feelings are accepted. But maybe when it comes to Wasians, don't do big glamorus events like this at the moment because why are we a fucking "trend"??? Especially when there are blasian meetups that HAVE been happening and yet no one has heard of them on the international scale like this wasian meetup did... Very funny.
However, people are just using this fiasco to debate whether wasians themselves are valid... Is my ethnic mix... Actually considered racist to the fucking internet? Apparently yes to many people now that my identity was become a trend and a good amount of people will hate on anything for the fact that it's considered trendy and popular.
You know what the real experience is as an asian and white person is? Throughout my life I've constantly been given bullshit from people saying :
"oh I love half white girls",
"oh I love half asian girls",
"you're not a real filipina your skin is white",
"I bet you wear brown contacts to look more asian you're just a white person",
"no you lool more Korean you can't be filipina",
"wasian girls are such baddies I need to taste",
(all real shit said to my face)
And to the people saying that oh "white supremacists don't discriminate against Wasians because of the white in them" no the actual fuck they don't, they can't tell the difference between any asian and nor do they care if there's even a pindrop of white in someone because of their puritian virginity bullshit mindset. Being bitchy to people mixed white won't solve shit because. You won't look up and see that they want us ALL beat down.
