There's some diaspora #Asians on Vancouver Island (and several other places in Global North) who have severe #InternalizedRacism, to the point that they're not just #indoctrinated into #colonialism & capitalism but they're so self unaware of internalized racism that they don't even know when racist white folks #tokenize them to defend/justify racism & use them to push WS beliefs on their own peoples.
I lose my fu*king shit around Asians like this. They harm us Asians who fight for human rights.
Here's the thing: It's my #POC community & as I'm a part of that, some of my #responsibilities is to address it within that community. It's not #WhiteFolks' jobs to do that - calling out/calling in/educating #diaspora Asian folks suffering from #InternalizedRacism & hurting fellow #Asians.
Just like it's not POC's jobs to deal with white #racists - it's the responsibilities of white folks to deal with problematic bigots in their own communities.
I'm doing my best, to deal with problematic folks in my own POC communities. I ask that you please do your personal best to do similar work with problematic folks in your own communities too.
It takes a village - applies to a lot more than just raising children.
When POC people who suffer from internalized racism attack me for trying to point out that is self & community harm - I try to keep in mind that no true growth happens for any living being without some levels of discomfort. If you're always comfy, you're likely not growing much at all.
Props to PLANTS - because they've shown me this is a biological fact, from seed to living plant 🌿💗

This is usually people who think the concept of #ModelMinority was a feature, not a bug of the messy system they are in.
They view themselves as the feature.
It’s a form of narcissism.
