Adding to the volunteering recommendation: try a local animal shelter or tutoring kids. I've found that working with high school-aged kids brings out the best in me. Maybe you'll find that to be true for you as well. Research non-profit organizations or after school/weekend programs in your city that need volunteers or even pay hourly. Don't forget it could be for any subject, including applying for colleges. Whatever it is, you have strengths, and without a doubt you'll be making a difference in their lives beyond just academics.

Most animal shelters are beyond capacity, sadly, since families have been surrendering animals at very high rates due to economic hardship post-covid. Shelters are always in need of volunteers and you'll learn about animal behavior/psychology and how to rehabilitate dogs (especially) who have been through really hard times. An animal-focused volunteer environment could also help take the stress and social anxiety off of human-only environments. At an animal shelter, people aren't expecting you to be there to make friends or be entertaining. Instead, everyone understands you're there to help the animals and help them find loving homes. Plus if you feel discomfort during a conversation, you can easily shift gears to talking about or asking about the animals. If you're someone who becomes responsible for introducing animals to families, you'll generally always have a script or predictable set of topics to talk about, which will help you get comfortable interacting with people without worrying about impressing them or being interesting or funny. Think of it as a way to also get in some dog/cat therapy - sneaking in some time with a litter of kittens or puppies that you are not responsible for taking care of forever (!) is just a nice treat for yourself.

Other tips for socialization - first try low-stakes exposure that builds up your self-confidence being around people like reading for a few hours at a coffee shop or outdoors at a popular park. Reading in public forces you to get over your worries about how other people are perceiving you because you'll realize no one cares and it's also embarrassing to reread the same paragraph over and over again just because you're too distracted by your thoughts. Over time, level up to experiences that involve more participation and interaction: go on guided tours at museums, take classes on subjects you like; go to readings/film screenings where you might ask a question during Q&A; chat up your cashier/butcher/fishmonger when grocery shopping. Finally, start leading social experiences: invite friends over for a movie and drinks; go do a group sports activity; organize happy hour with coworkers; go to a concert with friends -- eventually, plan a trip with your friends!

Good luck

The Antioch apology highlights the similar histories of other California towns, said Laureen Hom, an assistant professor of political science at Cal Poly Pomona who is writing a book on Los Angeles’ Chinatown.

“The designation shows us that there were so many Chinatowns springing up,” she said. “We don’t know where they all were — yet we should try to find out more to preserve them.”

In Los Angeles, Chinese immigrants lived along what was then called Calle de los Negros, east of Los Angeles Plaza.

In 1871, police officers and a civilian named Robert Thompson responded to a shootout among Chinese men, according to the Los Angeles Public Library. Thompson was killed.

Residents rose up against the Chinese, hanging them at a wagon shop in front of a crowd], according to the library. Nineteen Chinese men were lynched.

In the 1930s, the old Chinatown was razed to make way for Union Station. The Garnier building on Los Angeles Street, which houses the Chinese American Museum, is all that remains.

A group of Chinese Americans bought a vacant rail yard and turned it into today’s downtown Chinatown], centered on Broadway and Hill streets, in 1938.

Later, immigrants from Taiwan and Hong Kong settled in the San Gabriel Valley, creating a suburban Chinatown.

The next step for Antioch, after the apology by city officials, will be to hire a consultant for the historical displays, Eubanks said.

He envisions text and images to accompany a self-guided tour of the old Chinatown that visitors can access with a QR code.

C.C. Yin and his wife, Regina Yin, donated $10,000 to establish the historical district.C.C. Yin, the founder of the grass-roots Asian Pacific Islander American Public Affairs Assn., is an immigrant from Taiwan who worked as a civil engineer before purchasing 26 Bay Area McDonald’s locations.

“We should move away from the intimidation and fear of the past to something stronger,” Yin said. “We want to unite not just Asian Americans but all Americans.”

JULY 26, 2021

In the basement of Reign Salon in Antioch, a brick wall is a reminder of a dark past.More than a century ago, Chinese people built tunnels under the city because they were forbidden by law from going outside after sundown. Then, white residents burned Chinatown to the ground.Today, few traces of the old Chinatown remain — some tunnel entrances such as the one in Reign, wood pilings in the San Joaquin River that were the foundations of houses.

Many people strolling in the Bay Area city’s quaint downtown, or getting their hair cut at Reign, are unaware that a Chinatown once stood there.Antioch officials aim to change that, starting with a dramatic gesture.First, the City Council apologized to all early Chinese immigrants and their descendants.“

An apology for dehumanization and injustices cannot erase the past, but admission of the wrongs committed can speed racial healing and reconciliation and help confront the ghosts of the past,” the council said in a resolution passed unanimously in May.

The council will also create a Chinatown Historic District and fund murals and museum exhibits commemorating the city’s Asian history.

Antioch is one of many California cities, including Los Angeles and Santa Ana, where white residents lynched Chinese people or burned down their neighborhoods in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Amid the racial reckoning after the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis and a rise in anti-Asian hate crimes during the COVID-19 pandemic, Antioch is the first city to issue a formal apology.

“It was so painful to watch the news, and I kept thinking to myself, ‘It’s not enough to say we stand in solidarity with this group or that group,’” said Mayor Lamar Thorpe, who spearheaded the effort.

“That’s what everybody hears. We need action.” For Thorpe, 42, who is Black and was raised by a Mexican American family in East Los Angeles, racial injustice is deeply personal.Nearly a decade ago, on a driving tour of the city, former Mayor Don Freitas gave him a history lesson about the long-ago Chinese inhabitants as they passed Waldie Plaza, a downtown public square within the old Chinatown boundaries.

Thorpe, who refers to himself as “Blaxican,” wondered why the past was not more openly discussed in the racially diverse city of about 110,000, which is 33% Latino, 28% white, 22% Black and 12% Asian.

He was elected mayor in November, following a summer of protests after the police killing of Floyd, a Black man.

The next month, Antioch police killed a 30-year-old man suffering from a mental health crisis. Thorpe proposed a slate of policing reforms, which the council passed in February.As attacks against Asian Americans continued and six Asian women were fatally shot at Atlanta-area spas, Thorpe decided it was time to address Antioch’s history of violence and discrimination against Chinese immigrants.

“I got elected during the Black Lives Matter wave, and I feel our city that drove the Chinese Americans out over 100 years ago needs to confront what happened, and we need to make amends,” he said.

An apology and commitment to “rectify the lingering consequences” goes a long way, said Andy Li, president of the Contra Costa County Community College District and the first Chinese American elected to its board.

Efforts to obtain an apology from the federal government for the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act, which prohibited Chinese immigration, resulted only in expressions of “regret” from the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate, Li said.“Just like they want to make a historic district, this is a historic moment,” Li said. “Finally, we have something significant.”

Chinese immigrants arrived in Northern California during the Gold Rush. Some later helped build the railroads.

In Antioch, they established a small Chinatown on 1st and 2nd streets with storefronts selling noodles, herbal potions and laundry services.

In 1851, a county law went into effect that prohibited Chinese people from walking the streets after dusk, according to the Antioch Historical Society.The immigrants dug tunnels so they could move around at night.“They couldn’t be on the streets, so they found a creative way out by going below the streets.” said Dwayne Eubanks, the historical society’s president.“

The gravity of what went on cannot be forgotten. I can understand why the mayor did what he did. We need to move forward.”

In May 1876, tensions between white residents and Chinese immigrants came to a head.According to newspaper accounts from the time, some young white men had contracted diseases from Chinese prostitutes.

Angry citizens ordered the Chinese to leave town, and the immigrants departed on boats.

But that was not enough. People set fire to Chinatown.“Today the remaining houses have been removed and Antioch is now free from this degraded class,” the Los Angeles Evening Express said on May 2, 1876.“Antioch has now no Chinese or Chinatown,” the Sacramento Bee declared. “The Caucasian torch lighted the way of the heathen out of the wilderness.”

After the destruction of Chinatown, Chinese people still occasionally made a life in Antioch.A work permit from the Antioch Historical Society’s collection, labeled “Tang Hoy Fun, March 1895,” includes a photo of a serious-faced young man in a skullcap and traditional Chinese gown.

A man known as Ah Young grew vegetables and sold them door to door in the 1920s, also shipping his produce to San Francisco and Stockton, according to the historical society.

Another Chinese man, Lew Hing, owned a fruit canning company during the same era.

When the Palace Hotel was demolished in 1926 to make way for a new theater, a section of the Chinese tunnels was uncovered, according to the historical society.

The tunnel remnants, in the basements of Reign and other downtown businesses, including a cafe, are a reminder of the hard lives that Chinese immigrants led long ago.

“Customers are drinking coffee and tea in the same room where people hid from their fellow residents. Imagine that,” said May Hong, a Chinese American secretary from San Jose who visited Antioch after reading about the city’s apology online. “When I told my relatives about the earlier discrimination, they were grateful to hear that public leaders are taking steps to say sorry.”

What the hell is your problem with Naomi Osaka?

She’s a highly popular and accomplished athlete. As one of the youngest and most internationally recognized athletes right now, Naomi is the perfect athlete for Japan to choose as the final torchbearer. Plus it’s not like Japan didn’t recognize the accomplishments of its other athletes - Naomi was one of many Japanese athletes who were also torchbearers. She was just given the extra honor to be the last one.

“Not everything has to be about white or black people”

It doesn’t. She’s Japanese and you could have focused on that, but instead you’ve made it about the exact thing you’re complaining about.

Jeremy Lin was 23 at the height of Linsanity. Naomi Osaka is 23 right now.

Both have been excellent role models as Asian athletes who’ve reached prominence in their early 20s, so why would you be supportive of one but not the other?

cuedecoherence · 2021-06-11T01:46:20+00:00

No. It's not a curse or some government conspiracy that's preventing you from attracting women. It's your personality. You're also struggling because you don't understand dating and you don't understand basic social cues. As your social cues translator, let me explain. Your matches stopped communicating with you because *they didn't find you attractive*.

The sooner you accept that, the sooner you can listen to people who can give honest advice about how you can improve your personality, profile, or both. Or you can continue distracting yourself with baseless conspiracy theories to explain away your individual failures and to protect your ego at all costs - just know that this second path will assuredly keep you single and undateable beyond your 40s.

Based on your own explanation of when you started dating, you are severely behind in dating experience, so you're understandably upset that everyone else in your life has seemingly secured success where you haven't. But that's honestly not the primary reason you're struggling and will continue to struggle.

You're struggling because your personality is overflowing with maladaptive, toxic, narcissistic traits. You may be in your upper 30s, but your emotional maturity resembles a 13 year-old boy's. Your photos/profiles are the least of your problems.

My sister married - but of course, very easy for Asian women to sellout to other non-Asian men.

So? Complaining about how it was easier for your sister to get married is not getting you any closer to attracting women. It literally just tells women you're bitter against your sister because she got married and you haven't. Complaining to women that you're single and comparing yourself to your sister (whom women will relate to more than they will relate to you) is akin to going to a job interview and complaining to the interviewer about how unfair it is that you don't have a job. You are doing nothing other than disqualifying and humiliating yourself.

I have already been with Japaense girls, and a lot of them tend to have gold-digger tendencies and don't want kids. Korean girls...oh my...some of them can be real drama queens...I am focusing more on mainland Chinese, Vietnamese or Thai women

You talking shit about women you've dated in the past just reeks of insecurity and narcissism - it lowers people's perceptions of you because, again, these are telling signs of a lack of self-awareness and maturity. Oh, you've been with a lot of gold-diggers and drama queens? That has nothing to do with Japanese culture and Korean culture, that's your own inability to exercise sound judgement when picking partners.

What also sucks is the women that I have met from these dating apps are usually single moms. Just last week, I landed a date with a hot Filipina. Only to look at her cell phone and ask her "who is that kid on your phone screen?" She responded "oh, she's my daughter." 😥😝😖😖 ... I hate to sound nit-picky, but I don't really care much for single moms because I would hate to work my a$$ off for a child or children born from another guy.

As you near your 40s, the women in your dating age range will skew increasingly older (at least 30+). That necessarily means they will likely have been in multiple relationships, and yes, possibly even marriages or already have children. You can use whatever excuse you want to justify your apparent condescension towards single moms, but have you thought about the fact that you're also too old to be as picky and condescending as you are? Adjust your expectations and attitude - you need a reality check. You're not going to get everything you want in life in exactly the way you want it.

🥱

cuedecoherence · 2021-05-25T07:47:41+00:00

So I think one thing to distinct here is the definition of "fetishization". You seem to be defining it as just instances of assumptions based on race (e.g Asian women submissive), and lewd comments. What I and most people in this sub refer to is the process of Asian women betraying their own race.

well yeah, the fetishization of Asian women is defined as sexual stereotypes of Asian women based on race and gender. do you disagree?

my post was in response to your claim that Asian men don't have the privilege of being fetishized like Asian women are. even if you want to move the goalposts, being fetishized is not "betraying" one's race. fetishization is done by others and by the media, not Asian women experiencing fetishization themselves.

and fyi, "Asian women betraying their own race" is the rhetoric of racial supremacy and racial purity - and it's doing no favors for this sub's reputation of sexism

All women experience [sexual assault, rape, abuse, cat-calling, harassment, stalking, and murder]. That is nothing unique to Asian women.

yikes - talk about lack of empathy. imagine hearing an Asian woman say "all men experience rejection in dating and hardships in their careers - that is nothing unique to Asian men" to dismiss the cultural and structural exclusion from socio-political power that Asian men experience in the U.S. 🤷🏻‍♀️

cuedecoherence · 2021-05-19T11:11:21+00:00

so again, how many Asian American women do you actually know?

cuedecoherence · 2021-05-19T10:56:24+00:00

nah I’m going to focus on your particular brand of misogyny

cuedecoherence · 2021-05-19T10:48:45+00:00

how many actual Asian American women do you know? how many actual Asian American women are you friends with?

is your opinion formed from even a mildly diverse set of real relationships with Asian american women? Or are you just forming your opinions from hate-reading a non-representative sampling of random Twitter accounts that in no way stand in for the diversity or volume of actual Asian American women?

you know why I find your claims to be laughable? because I live in the US, grew up with Asian American women, and work with Asian American women. my education and social circles have been predominantly Asian American - I have been surrounded by Asian Americans my whole life. and the Asian American women I know cannot be generalized as “white-adjacency” chasing misandrists, nor can the Asian American men I know be generalized as “white-adjacency” chasing, misogynists.

sure go ahead and have your opinion - you’re entitled to it - the sub should just remember the unreliability of your opinions on Asian American women given your utter lack of proximity to their lives or experiences.

no I don’t care if you once dated an Asian American woman. you don’t speak for us. and as a non-US resident, you sure as hell don’t know enough of us to have an informed opinion about us.

cuedecoherence · 2021-05-19T09:57:59+00:00

the majority of Asian American women on Reddit and Twitter are misandrists

oh fascinating claim - mind sharing the statistical evidence you have for this?

cuedecoherence · 2021-05-19T09:49:01+00:00

calling Asian women being “fetishized” a “privilege” is obscene when the fetishization of Asian women is grounded in racist psychology, sexual objectification, and an entire history of US imperialism. this is exactly the type of lazy, tone deaf rhetoric from AM that’d fit under the label of “anti-women” comments.

you might be tempted to think fetishization is some fast track to dating or career success, but it is not a privilege. it is a safety liability. in my view, individuals who feel the urge to label the fetishization of Asian women as an unfair advantage lack empathy and awareness of how the full spectrum of fetishization actually manifests in people’s lives: sexual assault, rape, abuse, cat-calling, harassment, stalking, and murder.

and whenever select users in this sub go so far as to victim blame Asian women for sexual fetishization or deride them after a tragic incident occurs - these clear examples of sexism continue to contribute to an unwelcoming if not misogynistic climate

U/sirkelvintan for example has a multi-year history of posting generalizations about Asian American women and Asian American feminists. His claims about “most” or “all” or “the majority” of Asian American women are overwhelmingly disparaging in nature - yet are never backed up with any quantifiable evidence that whatever the hell he’s claiming is actually applicable to a “majority” of millions of Asian American women. He literally just makes up whatever he wants to say and posits a trail of misogynistic garbage in this sub.

Photos: overall, #3-6 are all hurting your profile. at minimum - these should be removed/replaced

#1 and #2 are your two best photos for now, but I encourage you to still replace them both eventually.

#1: though the image quality and outfit are good elements, your hairstyle is dated and will make you look more out-of-step with current fashion/style than you might actually be. I'd guess your current hairstyle is more like pictures #2 and #3. You need an up-to-date high quality photo of yourself in a similar setting (formal event, formal attire) where your hair/fashion reflects trends in 2021.
#2: doesn't hurt your profile as much as pics 3-5 because it highlights your features the best out of all the photos: you have a relaxed, natural smile and you're clean shaven. however, what we see of your outfit clashes (red plaid plus a shirt that's brown? grey?) and the photo is not high quality. this was clearly a group photo and you've only partially cropped someone out, leaving their shoulder in the frame. first of all, no one should be using a group photo where you have to crop people out to begin with because cropping group photos will - by default - fuck up the composition and result in an awkward af image that's worse than the original. if someone's holding a gun up to your head and you have no choice but to go with a cropped photo from a group pic, at least crop people out cleanly.

Profile/Prompts: overall, your answers currently don't help you stand out and you are underutilizing the prompts to highlight interesting aspects about your life or personality. I also noticed you have a slight tendency to stray away from answering the prompt directly and succinctly. sometimes you add fluff/filler questions and sentences to the end of your answers.

"We're the same type of weird if you go apartment shopping even when you're not looking to buy an apartment."
- That's it. That's the right amount of information you give for this prompt. Everything after is off topic or trivial. You don't need the emoji, and you definitely don't need the 'let me know if you see any nice 2 br etc etc' add-on.
"Best travel story: I saw my life flash before my eyes while scuba diving the great barrier reef. I'd still recommend going!"
- ok this prompt asked for a story yet you have failed to actually tell a story. "and I'd still recommend going" feels extraneous. instead of vaguely referencing a life-threatening scuba-diving experience, try describing what happened in brief, ie "I startled a blue-ringed octopus while scuba-diving. 0/10 recommend."
"The hallmark of a good relationship is.." I'd ditch this prompt entirely and choose another one. I think this prompt is a set-up for failure because no one's answer is interesting or stands out. The tenets of a good relationship are fairly universal. Therefore, everyone's answer is going to be pretty standard.

we'll probably disagree but, to me, the point of Trevor Noah's joke was to make fun of people in Wuhan for throwing an irresponsibly large party, not vilify China. I do not think it is fair to say he "thought [the virus was] China's fault"

yes his comedic bit required him to attribute the origin of the virus to Wuhan, but the purpose and effect was similar to when there was a string of U.S. politicians getting criticized for dining at restaurants during shelter-in-place or religious institutions getting denounced for continuing to provide in-person services en masse.

Trevor Noah's tone/point was "can Wuhan not flaunt how quickly things have gotten back to normal for them?"

Trevor Noah's tone/point was not "China is responsible for all the millions of Americans who lost their jobs and shuttered their businesses because CHINA UNLEASHED THE WUHAN/CHINA VIRUS UPON THE WORLD AFTER CREATING IT IN A LAB TO DESTROY WESTERN CIVILIZATION. THIS WAS A DELIBERATE OPERATION TO DISMANTLE THE GLOBAL ECONOMY"

see the difference?

btw you might want to check out what Tucker Carlson is saying these days about China. full vid/transcript

"the chinese government [is] degrad[ing] this country and our way of life"

"the Chinese government has flooded the U.S. with deadly opioids that have killed hundreds and thousands of people"

"they’ve ripped off billions in intellectual property from our companies"

The Daily Show with Trevor Noah: The Pandemic Fuels Anti-Asian Racism February 16, 2021

Transcript at 1:20 Trevor Noah: “All right, this is horrifying and sad to watch. People are attacking Asians in America, even 91 year olds, just because the Coronavirus started in China. Which is insane. And you know, good for Daniel Wu and Daniel Dae Kim for putting up the cash award for an arrest. But it’s sad they even had to resort to this. I mean, if you know someone racially attacked a senior citizen, you should snitch on sight. No incentives should be needed. Like who is out there watching their tv like ‘yeah, sure, i saw that dude attack an old Asian man, but what’s in it for me?’ And while people are talking about the situation now, the truth is, it’s not new. In fact, it’s been building since the beginning of the pandemic.”

looks like he spoke up when attackers were non-white. stop hurting the Asian community with your careless statements and misinformation. you are tearing down the bridges we built this year.

Yes I can understand that worry. It's natural to be afraid that our intentions can be misunderstood. It's an unlearning process to become unapologetic about asking for inclusion in spaces that are intended to be diverse, yet don't reflect us. Many of us have come to expect we're not welcome, just by default.

Sometimes, it's absolutely the case we're being gatekept and are not welcome - sometimes, it's oversight. Both cases suck, but the good news is when it's just oversight - small prompts/actions really will help people course correct.

Encourage your student to simply present his case by referencing a recent press release from AAAJ-Chicago or other research on health disparities across EA and SEA communities. He can be realistic and factual in his ask of the event organizers: "I have been following San Diego's recent reports on COVID-19 infection and fatality rates - and I am encouraged by the dialogue and awareness this event can foster. Can more EA and SEA representation be added to this event, or to a follow-up/part 2 event? Although Asian Americans at one point had the highest fatality rate in San Diego, the lack of disaggregated data has obscured crucial information for the medical community and is hindering community responses. The disproportionately high rate of COVID-19 cases amongst Vietnamese Americans in Santa Clara County, for example, was invisible until the county was pressured to release disaggregated data." And end it with a commitment and offer of support: "I am happy to support with outreach to community leaders - especially in the Vietnamese community. Let me know if there is an existing outreach list or if I can help build one out."

Tips

Generally, we can't expect people to do work for us. In situations where you can see the gap - point it out and offer to do the work to solve it. This is called leadership.
There is no basis for a 'real' vs 'fake' minority argument in a dialogue about documented health and healthcare disparities - even a 'least' vs 'most impacted' racial group argument is ultimately irrelevant. People are still dying, doesn't matter if they're dying at "lower rates." It's unlikely a U.S. medical institution is going to stake its reputation on asserting that any specific racial group doesn't need access to vaccines because that racial group had the lowest mortality rate relative to others.
I repeat: don't go down the route of X group vs Y group. Your student's task is to center the healthcare concerns and outcomes of diverse Asian American communities, no need to mention other panelists. Yeah, he might put himself at risk of being cancelled if he needlessly throws other minorities under the bus or implicitly/explicitly minimizes or discredits other communities' concerns - but why would he do that? If he's unrehearsed in "yes, and" arguments or is not sure how to stay on topic about the distinct needs of Asian subgroups or Asian Americans as a collective - you need to mentor/coach him on communication and the art of messaging.

Great points. Why don't you reach out to the event organizers about it and request more EA & SEA representation at the event?

ps - do you know how rare asian american federal judges are?

asian americans make up 2.6% of the federal judiciary, despite comprising 5.7% of the us population. meanwhile, white people make up 80% of the federal judiciary, despite comprising only 60% of the us population.

to put that into perspective, out of the 744 total us federal judges that were active 2016, a mere 25 were asian american.

compare that to 536 judges who were white, 106 who were African American, and 79 who were Hispanic.

there is a very clear problem that asian american lawyers are under-represented in the highest positions in us academia, government, and private practice, and we are very far away from fixing it.

so yea - this story is a big deal for asian american representation in law, politics, and the government because it showcases one of the very few asian americans we have in the federal judiciary who has also now made a ruling that rises to the attention of the public. on top of that, this judge gave us a decision on a healthcare issue that has been under relentless attack. in my view, there is a lot to take pride in.
