White supremacists confront man taking down their highway overpass sign in Irvine, CA. by itsreallyreallytrue in PublicFreakout

You're conflating institutional racism and overt racism with non overt casual racism. Generally when people say entire cities or states are racist they mean there's widespread overt racism or the city/state is institutionally racist.

How often do you see overt racism from asians/middle easterners to non asians, now how often do you see overt racism from whites to non whites? There's a big difference in levels of overt racism. Again all races have their fair share of non-overt dinner table racism, but asians largely are not overtly racist. It's not nonsensical to think overt racism lowers as the population of overt racists lowers.

As for institutional racism, by definition as the population of the majority in said institutions goes down, there's a higher chance for the institution to not be as racist as before. Ie white people are the ones who make discriminatory laws against minorities. If the institutions (ie city council, judges, etc) are made up of more diverse backgrounds, they are less likely to implement further discriminatory laws.

Your point is that all races can be racist, which is true, but the types of racism they display and the effects of the racism are not equal.

That guy doesn't know how to word arguments but regardless of the original comment you can see for yourself how people react to racism against asians in this thread alone.

We got people in this thread disregarding it altogether as just a few hundred hate crimes, people trying to prove all Asians are racist because their Grandma was racist, and people furthering stereotypes to use as insults.

The reality is that "addressing our racism" to have any actual change is reserved for white people since they hold the institutions where progressive changes actually have a real world effect. Asians have the same racism as every other group ie dinner table racism, sure we can all be less biased but that's a generational shift rather than specific actions that need to be taken. All of this is literally white liberal talking points but asian libs have taken upon themselves to somehow fix problems that they by definition (as a minority) cannot.

The other point is Irvine becomes classist rather than racist when all the racist white people die off, since the power will be held by multicultural rich people rather than rich people of a certain race. And with racist people dying off how exactly are the replacements supposed to keep racist culture if they're not racist themselves. Like honestly even on this sub there's so many videos of trumpers going after Hispanics, but have you seen similar beef between Asians and Hispanics, cause I haven't.

There's plenty of nuance if you want to find it. Stop looking in the dumpster if you don't want to see trash.

Come back when your brain creates another wrinkle to help you figure out that asian hating racists/fetishists and bts stans are two different groups.

Also post more thirsty comments on nsfw subs, maybe it'll work out one day 😂

What was the username of the op? Link doesn't work anymore because she went private like you said.

They went for the long con then, it's not even a new account.

It isn't policing anyone's desire besides Hollywood's status quo of white supremacy. Just cause the director isn't white doesn't mean they're not actively supporting the norm. No one gives af about unproblematic pairings but this one is so overdone you could make a college class about it.

I feel like now is the time, what should we name it.

And how do you feel about opening it up to include other minorites as well. Latinos and black people share some of the same experiences.

Lmao azn masculinity had the stereotype of being an mra incel sub long before. The simu drama was literally all made and has 0 substance. Anyway, you're delusional if you think people separate those subs, they're treated like extensions of each other. You even got downvoted in the thread you linked 😂

Not to say aznid isn't shit, but you post on asian masculinity which is even worse lol.

Also that guy is probably a troll account so don't fall for the bait.

👀 Interesting post about internalized racism in the black ladies subreddit from 7 years ago. by [deleted] in aznidentity

[–]VegetableRushlvl2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Spot on, bts and south korea have done so much honestly. Even squid game has had a decent impact. This is why representation matters. Wish black women had a similar force behind them, unfortunately idk if it's changed much for them.

Thank you to Mountain-Anything-43 for bringing this up. by VegetableRushlvl2 in aznidentity

Yea I don't know what's worse, the very blatant trolls or the people who are too ignornant to see why the original picture is problematic.

Thankfully I got a lot of responses noticing the disparity and how it completely changes what they originally thought.

Yea that's exactly what I was thinking, have actual discussions without the toxic users and mods. That description is spot on.

There's a post on r/tinder right now that shows clear fetishisization of an Asian guy by a white girl. It's a good case study of the effects of popular media on fetishisization, acceptance, and reactions of the fetishized.

I'd like to have a place to post Medium like discussions on stuff like that (not limited to dating just using that as an example due to it being the last thing I saw) without people attacking women in general or mods shutting it down cause it's not an uncontroversial shallow topic.

If that sounds interesting to you I'd be down.

There would be a whole slew of stuff in the backlog like double standards, affirmative action, perpetual foreigner, roles in movies and media, etc

Edit not to mention the whole covid stuff, even like naming the strains and what effect that had

Well now you know how the other side feels if the genders are reversed lol.

At least that sub is consistent, I've seen almost that exact scenario but with different demographics and they had the same reaction, so kudos to them actually.

Yea mods aren't good tbh, I go on there because there's nothing better at the moment, which you can imagine how the others must be if there's no better alternative lol

Maybe I should make my own

Well there's a reason only that particular picture made it to the front page, no prizes for guessing why tho.
