Nah, you’re cool. And you’re right that white supremacy loves to use Asians as a model minority to push down on other groups, while still holding the true privileged of whiteness just out of reach. I’ll add that it also serves to sow division between groups that might otherwise ally themselves against white power…

Wow. Just wow. I hope cutting your parents out of your life has helped you to find some inner peace.
I intensely dislike “BY” with a passion and change the station every time I hear it. Cardi B has a sloppy flow and represents the worst in today’s musical trends.
Ehh... Fuck you, okay?
“She’s smiling! She must be enjoying getting groped by a man three times her age!”
At the age of 8, if my mom needed to do grocery shopping and we didn’t want to go in, me and my sister would sit in the car with the doors locked and read books. If it got hot, we knew how to roll down the windows, and we also knew how to lock the car behind us and go on into the store to find her. We were also smart…
No need to apologize, but the reason why people get confused about this is because they are working off of their own “personal” definitions, without understanding what the terms mean, where they come from, or how they actually manifest and function in society. Racism is an extremely complex concept, sociologically…
But can we get a pic of your “honorary Aryan” award? Or is it honoraryaryan? That linked article is hilarious. And now I have honoraryaryan stuck in my head like a tragic showtune from one of those “misguided” attempts of white southern teachers dressing children as slaves to teach history. You all read it here three…
First, you’re conflating and equating racism and prejudice. They do not mean the same thing, they have distinct definitions and outcomes. Generally, everyone is prejudiced in some way, but not all forms of prejudice have racist outcomes, some prejudices are actually positive. Some people, even POC, are or can be racial…
The bottom line is that you can deal with your super-conservative family however you’d like to. However, your SO is under no such obligation, and can set their own terms as to how much they can tolerate of that nonsense.
There is no way you can ask without being an asshole. Just don’t.
I mean, it’s complicated. My parents gave me a wonderful childhood, but that was mostly because I was a child and didn’t understand that a lot of the things they did were not okay. Now, as a grownass woman, I have no relationship with them. This woman’s letter reads like something right out of my early relationship…
Or maybe if, in the year of whatever lord 2017, you haven’t already realized that EVERY FUCKING PLACE is full of racists, then your personal story of what it took for you to actually take a second to SEE around you no longer matters. How far back do you really want to go with this? Which police killing do you think…
All you people making jokes or shaming this woman need a reality check.
Do you like Coldplay? I’ve been a big Coldplay fan ever since the release of their 2005 album, X&Y. Before that, I really didn’t understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on X&Y where Chris Martin’s presence became more apparent. I think Viva La Vida was the group’s undisputed masterpiece. It’s…
Um, Mello Yello IS the poor man’s Mountain Dew.
Steve Bannon looks like Edgar from “Men in Black” drowned in a river.
