asian racism is so fucking trivialized and it’s all bc the whites managed to hide real fucking problems under this facade of a veil called the ‘model minority’..
like how are all of you gonna tell me that asians don’t face racism
when we get stereotyped to the point of causing mental disorders within our communities,
when our women are hypersexualized and when our men are desexualized,
when our culture is used an accessory and dismissed as simply being “pretty”,
when important traditions from our cultures are thrown away by western people because they see them as uncouth or uncivilized,
when we invented and created so much shit for the world but we are only recognized by “slanty eyes”,
when our individual cultures are forgotten and we are forced into being a messed up conglomerate of “can you speak asian?” and “are you chinese”,
when colonialism and imperialism has destroyed our homes and our culture and tainted our history but no one will admit to it,
when we are born in foreign lands but are not welcomed here,
when we are attacked and murdered because of hate crime,
when people fail to realize that asians are a portion of the community that need help as much as others do,
when no one is willing to realize the real problems we go through.
like how can you tell me that asians don’t face racism? how can you be that oblivious? i don’t understand.
