thats why im walking on eggshells cuz like i see both sides n mb itd b ok if they hadnt jumped on it like THE DAY AFTER but im white so i just wanted to reblog both sides?? i def dont think its antiblack at all n ur feelings r 100% valid
Yeah, it's hard. There's definitely a desire for solidarity but when you get down to it different marginalized communities have different needs that aren't always getting met.
And yeah, photobombing on the day after seems pretty sketch but I'm uncomfortable with folks saying the Asian community never needs a shared tumblr day of selfies because that's the black community's thing now. It's nice that there are individual tumblrs dedicated to Asian-American stuff but... that's not the same as everyone gathering around to celebrate you. It just feels like more "Asians are the model minority so you need to stay in the background to be polite" stuff to me and I'm so????
;_; I'm just very tired and very sad.
