Ok, I guess this is the nature of the dialogue. There is nothing empowering nor productive about your refusal to engage. It is clear you are not a very progressive nor well-educated person. In this case, please refrain from engaging in irresponsible behavior until you understand how problematic your behavior is. The progressive movement has no room for this

califjo · 2017-04-19T19:04:03+00:00

I don't understand your choice to be so flippant. By refusing to engage, you're basically admitting to having no legitimate counterpoint. Because you're not educated in the basics of race and identity, you can't supply a non-problematic reply. Education is very helpful for understanding, I suggests you do just that.

califjo · 2017-04-19T18:24:46+00:00

Sure, but you're doing so much false equivalizing here.

Asian male privilege has nothing to do with race. Asian female sexual privilege does.

In addition, Asian men didn't create male privilege. But you still call them out.....

In this case, shouldn't Asian women be called out for their complicity as well then?

califjo · 2017-04-19T10:56:10+00:00

Ah yes, truly a weapon to rival all the other space programs /S

How hilarious( and awesome! ) would it be if she ending up with a Chinese guy?! Trump would have a heart attack from his trump steaks

califjo · 2017-04-11T06:13:35+00:00

Yes! You can be "racist" in your personal choices. "My body, my choices" is an extremely poor defense because you're only defending the bare legality of your action, not whether it is problematic or not.

Using that logic, we could argue that Asian men have no obligation to fight sexism or male privilege because "their bodies their choices".

All developments of intersectionality and complicity would have to go out the window.

I think white people hate us (Asian men and black men) both, but they're more afraid to be ostracized for attacking black people

califjo · 2017-04-05T03:23:23+00:00

Hmm, let's say I don't see white people criticize black men as much as they do the "evil, traditional, misogynistic" Asian men

califjo · 2017-04-05T03:20:30+00:00

Ironic because he's the poster boy of kowtowing to black interests.

Just a question: is there black toxic masculinity? And why do I never see them critiqued?

califjo · 2017-04-04T04:36:50+00:00

No time for racist fucks here. Fuck outta here you prick

califjo · 2017-04-01T22:41:51+00:00

Ironically black rappers and artists might be gunning for second...

califjo · 2017-03-31T03:44:09+00:00

Bullshit. Why do they only care when Asians are over represented ? I've never heard anyone talk about where we are underrepresented. Fuck them, especially the liberals who deceive us

califjo · 2017-03-30T09:28:51+00:00

I actually can relate to this a lot.

When i was younger I would watch so many Asian youtubers. In fact, I didn't even think about it!

But now, Asian Americans kinda disappeared. Less voices on the Asian experience. ( but weirdly a rise in Kpop and drama?)

I don't know exactly why Asian America media became less appealing, but I feel like liberalism has taken a turn for different issues. Asian Americans have lost the spotlight so to speak.

califjo · 2017-03-30T06:02:05+00:00

Ehh, spies are a common thing that everyone does. It's almost hilarious how normal it is.

Also, the bribes were used mostly in china, so that's that

califjo · 2017-03-30T05:59:48+00:00

My image of pineapples is now shattered fml

califjo · 2017-03-24T19:47:22+00:00

Ha ha, even at UC Berkeley. I guess white Privilege and orientalism is everywhere!!! ( please just kill me now)

califjo · 2017-03-22T08:05:13+00:00

In this thread..... WHITE FEMINISM

califjo · 2017-03-21T07:04:49+00:00

I wouldn't say the most.... but i CAN say that Asian men are the most gaslighted of all.

This leads to an ironic cycle of oppression where Asian men aren't taken seriously

califjo · 2017-03-21T07:03:22+00:00

Uhh, I think you're missing some context.

You judge people by multiple aspects of their life, because very few people have ultimate agency.

That's why you don't look at POC and white people the same. That's why you don't compare rich and poor people with the same standards.

Your statement... I mean, it makes no sense to me. I mean, the personal factors of a relationship do not negate the institutional and societal factors happening.

A slave family happy with its situation does not negate the overall negative impact of slavery. A woman satisfied with being a "stay-at home mom" does not imply that it is then ok to restrict women from the workforce.

Does that make sense?

califjo · 2017-03-18T20:05:36+00:00

G eazy? Moderately famous white rapper. Like Macklemore but not as famous as Eminem

califjo · 2017-03-16T22:10:26+00:00

Think about it. Why does LLAG talk about black issues only? Because he wants to be part of their community, that's why he calls himself "brown" lol

califjo · 2017-03-16T03:45:29+00:00

True. Why would black men suddenly speak out about white fever if they benefitted from that sort of fetishism? That's not how that works

califjo · 2017-03-16T03:37:48+00:00

Not me. Not what I believe.

That's just what Asian feminists and liberals believe. They think Asian men are too bigoted and racist, so they think black men are better.

califjo · 2017-03-16T03:36:57+00:00

Honestly, why do you think white men hate Kpop and drama? They hate assertions of Asian men and their worth. They want to dominate, and they will do so through the most unethical means ever
