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.

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.
