阜日木@ina @icyang for those of us grew up in Taiwan we knew him by his sinofied name, his grand daughter are one of 90s pop music singer 🙏 who still goes by their sinofied surname. Taiwan may be a democratic country now but racism against indigenous Austronesian remains deeply engrained

IC 🐢@kofanchen @ina the worst part? it's not a one-party issue. the entire political spectrum of Taiwan is racist as fuck.
whatever "transitional justice" is happening is a mere farce and the governments just play with Indigenous dignity like a toy...

@icyang @ina there are voices in Taiwan trying to combat racism against Austronesian, people behind this podcast "my dear han people" are making a real effort to call out racial stereotypes. Unfortunately it is in Mandarin, after all it is the Mandarin speakers need to hear these.

@kofanchen @ina atleast some progress... but sadly the anglophone TWese han diaspora still goes around with their bullcrap! some of them don't speak mandarin either.
