1. Y'all wanna talk about actual racism? Remember when they caught a Chinese ship that had African men they enslaved for 7 months, barely feeding them,regularly beating them and had them on forced labour. 7 month without a penny
Let's talk about their fucked up anti-blackness:

2. In Africa on our own lands treating us like slaves, beating us freely. You don't see Asian twitter talking about this..Asian antiblackness is fucked-up worldwide, y'all "anti-asianness" we do is isolated to a couple USA neighborhoods with gangbangers
3. In Asia despite what the black Asian-worshipping masochists try their hardest to turn a blind eye to, we are treated like subhuman shit. There's multiple cases of African men being murdered or nearly murdered for being seen with a local girl

You always think it can’t happen in your enlightened multicultural metropolis, we’re better than this, then you realize that the woman was guilty of the heinous crime of being Asian American. #StopAsianHateCrimes radio.com/1010wins/news/…
You always think it can’t happen in your enlightened multicultural metropolis, but then you remember that, even to some of our fellow New Yorkers, Asians will never be American. #StopAsianHateCrimes nypost.com/2021/03/22/asi…
Let's get a few things straight.
You can be an Asian massage therapist and not a sex worker.*
There is ZERO evidence right now that any of the women who were murdered were sex workers, or that the spas themselves offered sex.

One of the murdered women was the owner of the spa and had worked herself up from being a nail tech. She was a licensed massage therapist. You can see it as the "American Dream" if you want. She worked hard and made good. It ended with an American murder.
The reason the narrative now is all about sex is that Asian women have been sexualized by the West for hundreds of years. Racism against Asian women almost always has a sexualized component - official sanction of this goes all the way back to the Page Act in 1875.

I am sick. I am irate.
My dad messaged me this morning to tell me a driver was yelling at every Asian parent at the bus stop, including him, to get out of America, or they’ll be killed. Killed.

He was dropping off his grandson in East Saint Paul near Lake Phalen. The woman yelled at him first and then proceeded to drive by all the other Asian guardians waiting with their children to get out or be killed.
He’s confused. He feels unsafe. He’s angry. He’s hurt. He doesn’t know if there’s justice for the emotional trauma that driver wreaked. He doesn’t know if she’ll come back and do more or worse harm.
English-language news sources are now beginning to reveal the names and age ranges of the Korean victims killed in the #Atlanta shootings. So far, they include Julie Park (in her 70s) and Hyun-jeong Park (in her 50s). thecut.com/2021/03/atlant… #StopAsianHateCrimes
Here's the thing: This kind of violence and hatred isn't new.
It's escalated (exponentially) thanks to conversatives blaming China for COVID. But American violence against people who look like me has been happening for 200 years.

This country never wanted us. The very first immigration ban was put in place because the US didn't want Chinese people. The entire concept of "legal" vs. "illegal" immigration exists because of American xenophobia toward us.
Anti-miscegenation laws listed us specifically.
Anti-miscegenation laws listed us specifically.
The US had laws specifically prohibiting Asians from becoming citizens. And laws specifically barring us from owning property. The latest one was passed in 1943, and many of them were not stuck down until the 1950s.

I wonder if the kids who pulled their eyes at me and mercilessly yelled "ching chong" at me on the bus even remember doing it. The two worst offenders are both parents now. I wonder what they teach their children.
I feel ill today. #StopAAPIHate #StopAsianHateCrimes

I decided today was the day to start a dialogue. I cold messaged someone who hurt me more than 20 years ago. We had a beautiful conversation, slightly redacted to protect his identity.
I'm further determined not to give up on people, even on a dark day like this. Open your hearts, and remember that, in the best of cases, accountability and grace go hand-in-hand. #StopAAPIHate
