This shit goes down and I don’t hear a PEEP from none of y’all.

But when anti-Asian sentiments come from the black community, y’all are too quick to come out of the woodworks and tell us black folks how we need…

APIA here pitching in too.
Fuck this anti-Black sentiment in our communities (and, in my experience all anti-color sentiment that comes out). It disgusts me that so many of our folks have internalized this drive to whiteness (particularly in APIA communities, I can’t speak as much to API folks experience outside the US). We are POC and spewing ignorant, genocidal bile against Black folks (and other POC) just makes you into a racist parrot.

Wu wrote about this in ‘YELLOW’ and it is something we really need to start calling out, deconstructing, and decolonizing in our communities. A resultant effect of the Model Minority stereotype is that it internalizes a separationist and oppositional frame between APIA folks and other POC- not quite like the other POC but not quite white either, but almost…. It’s bullshit and we need to realize that playing into the bigoted and racist perspectives that define the boundaries of model minority is dangerous and detrimental to ALL communities of color (of which we are, and always will be a part).

APIA folks, I’m adding her to the boycott list (and signing the petition)- I would encourage you to do the same.

I may have to head to twitter to start some shit with the disgrasian in question….

We aren’t all genocidal racist assholes :-/ I’m sorry that this much bile had to 1) exist & 2) come out of her head.

Would’ve jumped on this sooner, but phone access is all I have and it’s super awkward.
