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.

Why do #racist #politicians join cultural associations in their local areas - when they've ignored that cultural community for years prior to trying to gain more #political powers or trying to gain higher ranking political positions?

Simple.

To buy more #cultural #votes, by pretending to care about #BIPOC interests with massive #PRcampaigns, boosted by POCs with #InternalizedRacism & greedy self interests - tokenization is fully #weaponized for illicit gains.

By abusing #IdentityPolitics.
