Did you fall in at first glance?

Do you think you'll take a chance?

Do you think on the weekend I could know?

Show me

Before you haunt me on the screen

Will my affection pull the strings?

Another forgotten memory

a friendly reminder that microaggressions against asians can also look like this:

pretending to gag at asian food

pretending to be weirded out by asian customs and cultures

excusing cultural appropriation (often through ignoring the stories of asians who have been mocked for wearing their ethnic dress while praising a white person for doing so)

not trying to learn how to pronounce an asian person’s ethnic name correctly, or asking, “can i call you by something else?”

adopting an asian name for the ~aesthetic~

using the words “oriental” and “exotic” to describe asian people, particular asian women

ignoring the experiences and stories of south, southeast, and central asians

making sweeping assumptions about asian countries (including their political, historical and cultural landscape)

treating the entire asian community as a monolith and ignoring the fact that the experiences of asian nationals are remarkably different from the asian diaspora/migrant community

co-opting asian aesthetics into creative media without acknowledging their history
