I am one and I understand you honestly it gets annoying sometimes

Well, they consume Asian content/music but clearly they don't bother to learn about Asian culture or population and how it's perceived in some places (in the US, in this case), especially during these times where some people refer to a serious pandemic as "China virus". At the end of the day, these people don't care about social issues at all.

Love the music and art but fuck the people right???

they are

this is really absurd I can't even...

"asian privilege"... where do these people live even??? not in THE real world that's for sure!

Quote from Kireta

Man the type of stuff that i see on twitter is so messed up. How are kpop fans going to say asian hate crimes are not a serious topic when they listen and and consume music/content from asian artists. I get that not everyone is like this but I'm talking about the overall issue here that racism towards asians are so damn normalized in society.

Asians are considered the “model minority” in America so people don’t take racism against them seriously.

It’s pretty sad.

When is twitter going to undo this feature so I can go back to pretending these people aren't real

I am an asian too and it’s kinda saddening that this still happens. They love listening to asian music but don’t care to look into their culture or understand some clear cultural differences that Asians have with western society. A lot of the “wrong sayings” scandals (like the one with Lucas & supposed fatshaming) was taken completely out of context and made up to be hateful when in Chinese culture that saying is more to be endearing.

Quote from Kireta

I can't believe they were being so openly racist like that. Like hearing it is makes me so mad and angry

I think the biggest problem here is they don't even realise that what they're doing is racist. It only goes to show how normalised racism against Asians is.

"i mean black ppl cant be racist towards asian ppl bc racism by definition has to be systemic and come from a place of power. they can FOR SURE be prejudiced but poc can’t be racist to each other when living in western countries"

and this is what's messed up with american definition of racism. everyone can be racist towards everyone. racism is having a prejudice against a racial or ethic group, what op said above it's systemic racism.

why did i listen to this, i'm so upset rn

I feel so disgusted as someone who's dad is asian. I remember how everyone seemed to turn against him after the pandemic happened because they assumed he was chinese. It's sad how people think since asians are a "minority" then they can ignore the xenophobia and racism that's been clearly happening.

This is why SJW TW is a joke. It's ok to be racist against Asians and white people (i've seen plenty of references to "mayonnaise", etc from these jokers) but put a freaking braid on your hair and you got all kinds of TW rifraff going off about "cultural appropriation".

In the end, for those feeling upset, dont worry too much about it. TW is full of nobodies, the real world out here dont give a rats ass what these crusty jobless yokels think or say. Just keep your friends and family close, listen and enjoy the things you want. Fight when you need to (nobody should have to accept racism at work for example) but just remember that it's impossible to change people's minds. They have to do it themselves.

i know that ca will always be controversial for some and a nonissue for others (me) but yes, you are right. there are people who care more about hairstyles than actual human beings.

he's taken multiple classes on race theory

Quote from dummi

THIS calling COVID "the China virus" started an entire chain reaction and racist news outlets here in the US still don't care and use this racist diction all the time still.

I suppose it started with Trump and his infamous tweets last year and then FOX News and other conservative ""news channels"" started using these racist terms as well.

This is what happens when oppression has levels and points. The more levels of oppression you have makes or breaks your victim hood. People be comparing their oppression points on the internet like oh, ur a gay Asian Buddhist? Well I’m a black transgender Muslim so I’m more opressed than you therefore my problems are more valid than yours. Kinda sick to see people in competition for being a victim.

Ridiculous.

Quote from dummi

It did start with that. Honestly I'm just proud of my community, when things got really bad early on and people were vandalizing asian owned businesses nothing of the sort happened here. "Conservative" is often synonymous with racist now.

I'm glad you're in a safe environment!

Asians are also capped higher for their SATs to get into universities, especially in Ivy League schools. Ivy League schools in the states would rather accept international students and their money rather than asian Americans which makes it harder for Asian Americans to get into universities they want (not me though, I’m stupid).

There was actually a huge scandal in the US. Harvard actually rejected Asian American students who deserved to get in and replaced them with white students with lower scores because they didn’t want their school to look “too Asian.” A ton of parents sued the school.

that and Asian students theyre actually letting in are the rich International Asian students and not Asian Americans.

This is why I don’t believe in Affirmative Action. Mentioning race in applications, especially university applications need to be removed. Universities should judge their future students solely on their academics and not fill a quota.

Anyways, I’m getting off topic. Crimes and violence against Asians don’t matter to most activists here in the states. Nobody rallies for Asians when there’s violence in the Asian community and the national news and journalists don’t give an F about Asians.

its not just western people, even asians are racist to asians.

This happened a few months ago, people collectively forgot about this but the news outlets never apologised properly. They were not just being objectified but calling them Chinese strippers was hella racist.

Quote from Kireta

She really defended them too I cant. I'm usually tolerant of most issues but they were clearly being racist there's no denying that.

"i'm asian and nothing said was racist" how highly does the person think about themselves that they think they have the right to talk in the name of all asians? entitled, brainwashed, self-centered brat.

you said it's not racist, then i guess it isn't

Ughh that's disgusting.

Hate crimes, period, are serious. There is wisdom in a person knowing s/he isn't smart. There is a certain level of ignoramus who can never accept it or the fact that all Asians aren't from China. Don't give this kind of person your energy.

How can someone open their mouth and say that bull. I can't, it just disgusting how people over look racism and hate crimes against asian people, it is really really horrible to me how some people can think like this.

Asian issues are almost always ignored because of the model minority myth.

There's enough empathy to go around? I get that asian people in America are considered a model minority but it doesnt take away from the fact that what's happening is wrong and to write it off as though it's not even an issue because black people have it worse is pretty heartless. Like imagine being proud of not caring about injustice...

Twitter space is the worst place now

"Model minority"

Please

This is part of the same dumb "Asians have white privilege" and "Asians are to blame for racism against them being normalised" narrative that has been going around online

They've been the victims of hate crimes before Covid, these recent ones are just being given more attention

What kind of monster outright says they don't care about hate crimes?

They should all make us angry

Quote from Zazatwin22

But they be the same onces busting veins over CA....hypocrites

Seriously. Real racism happens against Asians and other minorities every day, yet SJW TW only cares when an idol puts on a "black" hairstyle or wears a freaking durag. Complete break from reality and common sense and common decency. This is why nobody older than 25 takes TW seriously anymore.

When the user said C slut, it was over.

Yes you are racist.

The thing is that no only these so called woke people on twitter don't care about racism against asians, but in real life in the US and the West in general nobody cares about it either. Asians in western countries need to have a stronger reactions to this kind of thing and stand together, because others will certainly not help them.

In the US, if you are asian you are still seen as foreigner even if your family immigrated a century ago.

It’s just one random twitter user? I don’t get it
