See something? Say something. When you see bias, just pointing it out can help destigmatize issues and open someone's horizons.
An older woman in front of me demanded her drink get remade because her barista was Asian. When I tried to inform her how irrational that request was, she turned and sneered, “are YOU Chinese?” I replied, “no, but your ugly-ass knockoff purse is.” Shut your racist asses up.
Nothing worthy happens in one step, or even in one generation. We must work to support people, even and especially at Step 1 - when they are the most vulnerable and have the least leverage. It's easy once you're at Step 2-3, when you can pick and choose. buzzfeednews.com/article/adambv…
Delicious dinner at a great izakaya place in Toyama, Japan! #lunarnewyear #Asianfoodie #YearOfThePig #Japan #AAPI
Asian baked goods are the best! #asiansweets #AsianTwitter #foodie #honeytoast #bricktoast
I will take a congee based comfort meal over steak or burgers any day!
#Homemade milk bread! Used as an #experiment to see if substituting @Lactaid for whole milk would significantly degrade the end result. Turns out it's a fine substitution for those of us who are lactose intolerant! #AAPI #foodscience #AsianTwitter #lactose #diversityandinclusion
Check it out! While you may feel alone or isolated if you speak a different language than others around you, remember that the world is big and we are never truly alone in our lives and experiences. #diversity #language #GlobalCitizen #AAPI #AsianTwitter
"If people have a deep bias against you, and they’re not going to be able to overcome it short of getting to know you, give them an opportunity to get to know you." #AAPI #diversity #RepresentationMatters forbes.com/sites/brianhon…
Bias comes in as many flavors and subtle levels as does human thought. Because ultimately, human thought is what drives racist behavior - and to pretend that life is black and white is precisely how we miss reality. #aapi #diversity #racism #neuroscience
1. In recent weeks, I've kept thinking back to this passage: "Racism is not merely a simplistic hatred. It is, more often, broad sympathy toward some and broader skepticism toward others.” theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…
My good friend's daughter (growing up in a very not-Asian household) is in a Mandarin immersion school and her favorite book is about 14 Mice Moving House. 🐁🐭🐀 I am looking forward to chatting with her in Chinese when I visit!
Yaaaaaasssss hotpot in SoCal summer! #aapi #AsAm #asianlife #hotpot
@AsianRailroader @zeroman1985 Man, so sorry that you guys have had to go through that! Please tell your girlfriend that she and you deserve happiness, and that while it's not much of a physical comfort, you guys have the support of others around the world, including us. Living proud is the best revenge ❤️💪
Aaaand one more time! On a 2nd watch, I noticed more details and the planning in each scene - and appreciated the mahjong deets. 👌 No movie is perfect, but this has mellowed into a homey, familiar-feeling classic for me. Nice work, #CrazyRichAsians cast & crew! #AsAm #AAPI
Trying new things (like scuba diving in the Pacific) 🌊 opens our minds to new possibilities & gives us the chance to earn and develop self-confidence. We're all capable of things we might have thought were out of reach 💪🐟🐡 #AsAm #asianlife #goforit #diveshopdoges #aapi
On my WeChat moments (Chinese social media app feed) a pithy response to @kimmythepooh 's amazing thread: "当你是多数，要宽容；但你是少数，要勇敢。" When you're a majority member, be open minded - when you're a minority member, be brave. 👏 ♥ 💪 #AsAm #AAPI #crossingthresholds
