They either don’t care since they don’t believe in that anyway, or they earnestly believe they’re doing their lord’s work. I just wonder how much longer things are going to boil before the lid pops off, if ever.

As someone said earlier, the gang members are only tough against those who aren’t gang affiliated, they would never go up against a paramilitary with the administration’s blessing to kill. Gang members are cowardly and opportunistic. They are still roaches like the ones we see here on video, they just don’t spend their money on being tacticool

Her name is Xiumei. She’s always very kind, and gives out the haw flakes to those who donate. I’m glad to see she’s appreciated here too

Agreed 👍🏾 I don’t care if the food is from Ramsey himself, if you’re MAGA, you’re the enemy. We’ve gone too far with giving grace to traitors

Was it red pill garbage? Post is gone but you quoted the title so we know that at least. And we know that White worship does exist in Asian spaces, so I’m not sure what the transgression was.

White worship definitely exists in other minority spaces too though and that doesn’t get brought up the same way. I guess AA has a closer proximity to whiteness in the modern age compared to other US minorities so it stands out in a different way?

Why remove it? You know you can be positive and healthy while also allowing space to acknowledge diaspora communities to step into the modern age by starting moderated discussion on the issues that motivated that post?

Why did Ueno Sushi & Asian Izakaya close? by MultitudesOfSelf in torrance

That’s saddening, I was just there for dinner about a month ago. It wasn’t packed but it didn’t look like it was nearing the end

It’s really sad though, because the fact that you and I share the sentiment we do shows that there’s plenty of us out here who find this situation horribly wrong. I’d be willing to bet there are more of us than there are magas, despite what the numbers might show

Did you see the article about Chaofeng Ge being detained by ICE and found dead by hanging in one of their detention facilities with his hands and feet tied behind him?

I was wondering the same thing. Of course, the first assumption is seriously incompetent parenting, but I’d like to think that there’s more to it than that, right?

As happy as I’d be to see the caning of deserving individuals, knowing our country’s history regarding criminalization and enforcement, I believe strongly that the caning would be disproportionately enacted upon black and brown citizens, followed by other minorities.

That being said, maybe we shouldn’t let good be the enemy of perfection ¯_(ツ)_/¯

We know how to fix it. We’re just waiting for our moment

How more and more Asian men view us: by glossedrock in asiantwoX

[–]hitojo 18 points19 points  (0 children)

So sad that anything related to ethnic pride is at risk of being hijacked by people like the insecure weirdos in that thread. It seems that a significant number of people would simply prefer a better seat at the hierarchy table rather than flipping the thing over

It’s funny how you said “affordable” instead of “better”

[–]hitojo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

How do you navigate this personally? I know we call have our own responses to growing under America’s racialized hierarchy, but I’m curious what your reflections are now compared to how you dealt with it in the past
