I might lose some followers for this🧵but idgaf: Contrary to what your workplace is probably subconsciously teaching you & what your high school history classes failed to teach you, your belief that you are a good enough or nice enough person isnt going to #StopAsianHate 🤷🏾‍♀️
Your silence won’t #StopAsianHate either, more specifically, the silence between you & your Trump-supporting relatives wont #StopAsianHate. If you dont see the connection to 2020 Trump rhetoric to the hate crimes in Georgia, then this thread isnt for you. This 🧵 is for allies.
If you havent talked to/have zero plans to talk to any of your Trump-supporting relatives about #StopAsianHate..you might be part of the problem🤷🏾‍♀️and if that offends you, maybe youre not as anti-White supremacy as you think👀Time to put your self-appointed allyship badges to work
Today’s a great day to not waste your privilege. Instead leverage it on behalf of the Asian community so that they too can live from a place of freedom instead of fear.
