Me: We need to stand United for justice for all people. You’re entitled to your personal religious or political beliefs—but those beliefs don’t supersede the requirement of equal access to justice for Black and brown people, women, immigrants, faith minorities, LGBTQ people, low income people, or people with disabilities.

Troll: You had me until lgbtq

Me: So here’s how this works. Either you champion equal access to justice for all people—or you’re on the wrong side of history. Choose justice.

There seems to be a trend to not include Asians as a minority. We are subjected to racism and the impacts of being treated as less than in this society as well. It is also taboo to not openly discuss racism between minority communities against each other- it's a truth that is totally ignored. It doesn't take away from the institutional racism, with historical ties to slavery, that targets Black people; but this lack of dialog ignores the problems but will show itself eventually

@MlleaPankhurst I am Asian. I include us above in my tweet in the “brown people” part. Ditto Latinos. And see my IG reels and tweets on anti-Black racism and anti-Asian racism. I discuss both extensively.
