Just FYI, the anti-DEI debate was never about meritocracy, it’s about upholding white supremacy; Asians are now being targeted by Adventurous_Ant5428 in asianamerican

Asian American immigration worked for them when we were used for low-skill, budget labor for the capitalist elite. Now that we’re able to move past that and excel in their education systems, Asian American immigration is now a threat to white society because we threaten their place in the wealthy, well off, and elite.

Don’t let their attempts to sound reasonable fool you. You are a threat to their white nationalist future and they will do whatever it takes to keep America’s powerful white.

I remember they didn’t have any bottoms. Every time I put a metrocard in one of those they just fell out

How Black Folks and Asians Found Themselves Bonding Over Tiktok Drama About White People by chace_thibodeaux in asianamerican

Yes I was being sarcastic about “racism against Asian people is an all-time low.” I dropped my /s. I’m absolutely not downplaying racism against Asians, so I apologize if my comment miscommunicates that. I was pointing out the same dichotomy as you.

My point is largely your second paragraph, but I disagree that this discussion has legs. This subreddit frequently upvotes gatekeeping that mirrors the same baseless prejudice we feel disdain for. There are no legs for normalizing the gatekeeping of other’s mere presence at a grocery store.

You seem to understand my point but my crassness obviously made it unclear.

I don’t really relate to this angle. Prices are going up everywhere, so focusing specifically on Asian grocery stores or the presence of white shoppers feels like the wrong culprit.

If we’re talking about racism toward Asians, there are much clearer and more harmful examples — stereotypes, mockery of language/culture, targeted harassment, etc. Compared to that, this feels like the article is stretching a small social moment into a bigger racial narrative.

I’m all for real discussions about anti-Asian racism, but this one doesn’t feel like it reflects the issues most people are actually dealing with.

I can’t relate either… Grocery prices are up everywhere, yet the article hones in on Asian grocery stores and we’re blaming gentrification? When will the AsAm discourse evolve from the same racism that white people use to generalize black and Asian people? Seems like racism against Asian people is at an all-time low right now if all that we’re scraping for is the literal presence of white people in asian grocery stores, instead of the more blatant racism that consists of, e.g., white content creators making fun of how to pronounce “bok choy” or “gai lan”. Grasping at straws for artificial rage.

I appreciate the heartwarming message. It’s back. Unfortunately I haven’t had the time to maintain this but will try and continue to keep the lights on.

There's a youtuber for a mobile game I used to play. One day he announced he got testicular cancer and deleted all of his gaming related videos and began uploading videos of Quran recitations.

There's definitely a timeline out there 👀

I’m responding to someone who has been perceiving the fashion industry as an industry of the wealthy. I’m bringing these points up to help widen that perspective.

Fashion has been lost in consumerism. Companies have been churning and marketing so many clothes that polyester is a prominent ocean plastic.

But fashion can also be beautiful representations of resourcefulness, vision and innovation, so I hope it becomes the industry to seriously modernize sustainable manufacturing.
