Things I’m sick of

  • Asians being ignored in racial discussions or even worse, lumped in with whites as if we were essentially the same
  • The utter lack of education on Asian directed hostility that has been a continued issue in the united states ever since we first started coming here.
  • People treating all race issues as just Black vs White
  • The assumption that since Asians have the  stereotypes of being smart, docile, and nonthreatening, that we lack a struggle other minorities have
  • The hypersexualization of Asian women and the complete desexualization of Asian men
  • How almost all asian representation in media is accompanied with an accent, and rarely breaks from the stereotypes 

• How people think “Asian” means “East Asian”
• The serious lack of diverse Asian representation in mainstream media
• In addition to that, casting someone of a certain Asian ethnicity in a role meant for another (as if all Asians are the same)
• “Are you sure you’re Asian? But you speak English so well!”
• “Aren’t all Asians supposed to be pale/petite/etc?”
