Conservative POC aren't even Arab passing or Mixed passing in this caste system.

I'm asian and support black and yellow intersectionality.

The only ally and 1 of the buffer class against racism AW have is BW.

Don't internalise racist propaganda against black people

During a recent live broadcast of the German show ZDF-Fernsehgarten, host Andrea Kiewel was presenting a set of collectible Pokémon cards. When she got to a Japanese card, she misidentified it as Chinese, laughed, and then proceeded to mimic Asian characters using a derogatory, gibberish pseudo-language.

Honestly, what triggers me the most is not some stupid remark made by some stupid host, it is the aftermath (or the lack of aftermath of the whole ordeal).

For those unaware, the TV station she represents is an official channel in Germany called ZDF and in Germany you have to pay for a handsome amount of broadcasting fee periodically (for them to maintain production quality, independence and socially responsible programming, so they say), meaning as an Asian, I have actually paid someone to throw some casual racist remarks on TV, that is a nice slap to my face.

After the host's "gaffs", the broadcaster (ZDF) quickly issued a statement claiming the comment was "made in the heat of the moment during the live broadcast and was in no way intended to be racist". They also added that Kiewel "regrets her words and apologizes for them," trying to close the chapter. The show moves on, the host keeps their job, and the structural issue remains unaddressed. No even a cold bench, just played off as a stupid mistake, don't press her for it.

Now in comparison to other cases like that of Jens Lehmann (leaked WhatsApp Message asking if some African player is a teams token black guy) or Patrick Moster (cheering on German cyclist while shouting "Kameltreiber", basically "camel riders" in German, at the other cyclists from Algeria and Eritrea.

Anti-Asian racism is still widely treated in many countries as a "minor offense." because playground sounds like the one Kiewel used have been normalized as harmless jokes for decades (Rock, Paper, Scissors in German used to be "Sching Schang, Sching" so I guess they are somewhat comfortable saying it) public broadcasters feel safe hiding behind the "not intended to be racist" defense.

Hi all!!! My fiance is Asian and we have been together for 1.5 years. Recently, the last few times ive gone to my local nail salon the subject of me dating an Asian man has come up somehow. I truly hope this doesn't sound insensitive, im just curious as to if there's something I could be doing to spark this conversation without knowing? This time, the woman complimented my ring then asked if my fiance was asian. I love talking about my fiance so its absolutely not a problem! I just wanna know how they know so well!

Thank you!

(and I mean jokes where you can tell they're joking) not because I wanna be racist, but because I wanna see if other people don't care too (I am asian myself).

I’ve seen and met Asians from different backgrounds, but I rarely see a Japanese, even in big cities like LA, Bay Area, NYC, Jersey, etc.
I see a lot of Japanese restaurants from left to right, and yet most of them are either Chinese or Korean owned.
Besides Hawaii, why are Japanese Americans hard to find in America?

I'm a mixed MGM black women who used to like a wide range of men racially including white men, but due to some things I experienced on instagram...

...I have since lost nearly all attraction to them. I was browsing the internet out of curiosity and it turns out, I'm not the only one. Lots of WOC across the world are losing attraction to white men due to how they're acting. Many asian women especially who are stereotyped as being white worshippers are also seeming to be put off by white men now. This is a shift I'm sort of happy about happening but at the same time, how much is this happening?

This is a mini rant but also mixed in with confusion. Maybe I’m genuinely just not understanding this concept but it genuinely angers me. Every time a post of Asian women dating a white man, the comment section ALWAYS mention the Oxford study and it’s beyond demeaning. I don’t understand why it’s a big deal, shouldn’t you get to love whoever you want? What is wrong with mixing? I believe mixing culture can be a beautiful thing. And I know that people try to justify the Oxford study because many Asian women have internalized racism and crap, which can be true for a portion of Asian women but it doesn’t justify shaming asian women with a white partner. It’s not fair to always assume that. In addition, many of the posts that are targeted feature Asian Americans, is it so surprising for a women to fall in love with a white man when over half of Americans are white? I’m so confused with this flawed logic. It has to be people who are just hurt and racist right?

Before anyone tries to flip tbe card. I’m an Asian women who is currently dating an Asian man.

Hey there,

I really hope this doesn’t come off as inappropriate and please forgive any ignorance in my questions. I hope this is a safe space for us to discuss this as well! I would like also clarify that I’m in no means fetishizing a race, I just found myself more attracted to a certain culture/ human form.

First of all, asian culture has always been very intriguing to me. I grew up with a Japanese friend and I’ve somehow ended up studying in Southeast Asia for uni, I’ve always felt the safest when I’m in Asia and just enjoyed the culture and people’s company. I never thought of dating back then so never really looked for anything but somehow realized that I find Asian features very attractive. Women and men are just so beautiful!

I do get a bit self conscious about my size as I do know the beauty standard in Asia is usually a smaller petite woman. I’m an Arab and I’d say I’m around mid height and fat, I’m aware that I’m pretty but it’s the body that i am mostly self conscious about. I’ve had some guys compliment me here or there but I just never really looked into it. Now that I am mingling in the dating scene, I just lack the confidence to approach some guys due to my own thoughts..

I just would like to hear people’s thoughts about this. Thank you so much

I'm a big fan of all types of food and tofu is right up there with other proteins for me. But for some reason tofu skin has totally eluded me these past 34 years.

My local Asian market has a lunch, hot bar and regularly there's tofu skin stir fry with wood ear mushrooms, carrots, and chicken. It is literally the best thing I've ever had off of a hot bar!! I've been going weekly now and the lady at the counter doesn't even ask me anymore what I would like. ♥️

I would be forever grateful if you dropped your favorite tofu skin recipe in the comments. I bought two bags and now I must make them in every way, shape and form.

Thank you for your time.

The most embarassing and least self aware ones we have

My whole life I grew up in Australia and was surrounded by Asian people so I play the asian card a lot and hung around asian people because I didn’t know many Sri Lankans. Nowadays as an adult I still seek out asian friends. Has anyone else felt this disconnect.
