Seriously. I do. They’re so cute.

please don’t label asians as ‘cute’. we’re not an object.

Are Asians puppies now? I understand it’s supposed to be a compliment to some degree, but still. Do you think every Asian is cute? Hasty generalization. “I wish I was white. They’re so cute.” or “I wish I was black. They’re so cute.”

OP totally forgot that Asia refers to an entire continent. Do you wish you were Indian? Do you wish you were Desi? etc. etc.

Really. I am tired of people objectifying Asians. I hate this shit.

You want to be Asian and “cute” but you don’t want to be fucking called racial slurs. You don’t want the fucking issues that come along with being Asian. You want to be Asian but you don’t want to be fucking alienated by your own society.

You fucking gross me out, OP.

OP’s barely 14.

Pfft, spare her no mercy.

She’ll learn soon enough.

no, no, guys, it’s okay. it’s okay that she wants to be asian.

so long as she’s fine with the constant exotification, the fetishizing of our bodies and our supposed “virtues” (which are in reality just westerners casting their misogyny and their sexism onto us and our supposedly traditional societies), the blatant appropriation of our sacred items, apparel, and languages by stores all over the western world, the slurs that are hurled at asians, the accusations that our societies are repressive and regressive, the assumptions made about our values/morals/characteristics, the sexualising of our bodies without our consent, the mockery of our language, our food, our ways of life, our status as the “model minority” and the “perpetual foreigner” and in some of our communities the “yellow peril.”

so long as she’s fine with the fact that we have a very ugly history with this country, from the gold rush to the transcontinental railroad to the st. louis world fair down to the chinese exclusion act, the japanese internment camps, the murder of vincent chin to the suicides of henry lew and danny chen.

as long as she’s fine with the “little things” — the constant whitewashing of us within narratives that are supposed to portray, well, us (akira, avatar, dragonball z, not to mention within things like firefly, which draw from our culture but doesn’t actually feature any of our people), the constant lumping together of our various ethnicities and nationalities, the history of yellowface, plus the orientalism that is so present in representations of us, the desexualisation of asian men (long duk dong & charlie chan anyone? + the recent han lee? or something on two broke girls). as long as she’s fine with being called “dragon lady” and “lotus flower” and as long as she’s fine with unsolicited demands from strangers to “love them long time.”

as long as she’s fine with the fact that apparently asians are the most bullied in schools, with the fact that depression and mental illness rates are rising among asians (especially depression in asian women). as long as she’s fine with being described with words like “spicy” and “exotic” and other objectifying, degrading, and completely dehumanising words.

but for some reason, i don’t think that was what she was looking for when she said she wanted to be ~azn.

BOOM

worst part is is that her wanting to be asian is the product of all of that
