we need to be way more understanding of our immigrant parents. esp those who weren't afforded the luxury of educations. I see a lot of people lash out at their parents for saying things that can be insensitive. 1/4

yes, i absolutely think we need to educate our moms and dads about social justice issues, etc. but i'm not gonna chew them out if they don't understand the phrase "toxic masculinity." there's a level of wokeness that comes with privilege. 2/4
parents were tryna survive in the u.s. and that's really tough if you don't know the language, didn't go to college, don't have an asian community around to help. pops spends 12 hrs/day behind a wok. understanding everyone else's struggles wasn't exactly a priority. 3/4
This doesn't mean i won't take EVERY opportunity to point things out, critique problematic comments. but i also won't shit on them for not knowing. be kinder to the people who raised you. BE KIND, FOLKS. 4/4
