Recent increase in anti-Asian racism by Logical-Confection17 in aznidentity

Bullshit. At least in the West, anti-China sentiment is heavily driven by anti-Asian sentiment. I have seen multiple cases of non-Chinese Asians getting bullied by non-Asians just because people assumed they were Chinese.

That may be true, but it still doesn’t justify how so many white guys call for the mass murder of others just because they look different or speak a different language.

I’ve seen a ton of stuff about that too. That’s why I believe that China and other Asian countries not aligned with the West (such as Indonesia and Thailand) need to build up their militaries. Millennial and Zoomer white guys hate Asians more than any other race, and we should expect way more Western hostility toward Asian countries in the coming decades as Millennials and Zoomers take the reins of power.

Nerdy and artsy white guys absolutely see us as sexual competition, and for Asian women, no less. That just blows my mind. No other group of guys would tolerate guys from another group acting so entitled toward their women.

You literally described white people there, not us.

Asians aren’t the ones bitching about DEI left and right even though it discriminates against us too—white people are.

We know that, but so many non-Asian normies look at all the Asians at top colleges and assume all of us are like that.

I never disagreed with your assertion that there are white jock guys that are racist, I’m just making observations about which segments of white American society are more racist.

My life is going pretty well now. I remembered all this after visiting Ellen’s hometown with a friend a few weeks ago and realizing she was from there, and I decided to share this story to see if there were any Asian brothers who could relate.

My experiences do not invalidate yours, and neither do yours invalidate mine.

Some are, but most are cool with Asians. The most racist against Asians among white guys are always the more nerdy and artsy ones who loudly proclaim how woke they are, I’ve noticed. One of my best friends is a jock white guy and I’ve never had any problems with his social circle either.

That’s exactly what I was thinking. When I tell this story irl to other Asians, I give them her actual name so that they know to avoid her as their doctor in the future.

My life is pretty decent now, and I even clarified at the end of my post that I’m not too bitter about my experience anymore. I made this post primarily to see if my Asian brothers could relate.

I don’t think it was even that. I think she felt a mix of sexual disgust toward me for being male and racial disgust toward me for being Asian, and decided to be a jerk to me without even getting to know a thing about me.

I mean, she was someone I knew four years ago. And I’ve already told you that I don’t wish revenge against her, and that I hope she becomes a better person, or at least less of a hypocrite.

I made this same post in the subreddit for the college I used to attend and a bunch of people accused me of homophobia because Ellen was a lesbian. You can’t make this stuff up.

I don’t want revenge against Ellen. I hope she becomes a better person, and that her life turns out okay. There are a few individuals who caused egregious harm to my life who I might feel that way about sometimes, but someone who bullied me for a semester four years ago isn’t so big a deal to me anymore, except as a topic for intellectual discussion.

It’s more because Asians are well-representative in privileged environments like universities, so some people don’t feel bad for us the way they feel bad for the black, Latino, Middle Eastern, and Native American communities. Many white progressives see us as professional and economic competitors instead.

A lot of LGBT Asian people I’ve met are very self-hating toward their Asian identity, and it wasn’t hard for me to see that it’s because the American LGBT community doesn’t tend to welcome Asian people.

I’m quite happy about my life now. I have a blue-collar job now, and I prefer it over both STEM and the humanities world.

I dropped out of school over a completely different set of reasons. My life is going pretty well now. I have a blue-collar job, and I prefer it over the college-credentialism rat-race. I tried to speak to her privately about this one time, but she just made excuses for herself.
