keep in mind that racism against asians (and other poc of course) has always been deeply ingrained into systems throughout the world, which is why those microaggressions that "seem like they're not a big deal" do so much more damage than you think +
even things like "asians have it easy bc they're smart" or "of course you get good grades".
We study and struggle just like you, there's no "gene" for grades. There are plenty of asian people who don't get good grades, and even if they do it's a result of hard work. +

it's also a big reason why our mental health is often overlooked. So many of us have reached out to professionals for serious help only to be brushed off with "you're a student, right? I'm sure it's just school stress" as if all we're worth is our academics and grades +
the foxeye trend, lunchbox moments, mocking accents, "its dark humor/just a joke", etc...
these recent attacks have been horrendous, but racism against asians isn't new.
Educate yourself on how normalized racism has become, before it costs more lives.
