Indians are one of the largest group of expats in Dubai. 80 percent of the students in my Gifted and Talented program are Indian girls. These girls are straight badass, 10 and 11 year Olds who have plans for their lives, encouraged, nay, demanded by their progressive parents. They will go to school in the States, they…

This is so heartbreaking, but I’m glad there is a way for these girls and women to share their stories and protect their identities. I grew up with a few female friends and relatives who told me that they had been sexually abused by a family member or an older family friend, i.e. a friend of their parents. South Asian…
Do you understand how stigmatizing it is to identify as a victim of rape? Like at all?

Samira Wiley is just unbelievably beautiful and charismatic and talented— I really, really hope that she is able to find good, steady work befitting a performer of her caliber.
We already did that up here. :D
Do not worry about it - I think the reason Asian Americans (particularly those of East Asian descent) tend to be forgotten about in cries of PoC representation is that in certain aspects such as respectability politics and economically, we are much closer to the “white” average, and certain cases actually do better…
AHAHAHAHA as a Asian lady it will be a cold day in hell before I see even a fraction of representation in western media - we may be better off in other ways compared to the issues other minorities have to face but in entertainment we are basically one big question mark. That said, I’m thrilled we’re getting more…
Depressing, but not surprising.
“Calm down. If you are concerned about civil rights then you celebrate all the wins, not just the ones that concern people that look like you.”
I found the white feminist!! Missing the point, getting defensive over nothing, and brushing aside something relevant to POC (and presumably silencing one) all in one fell…
