FELLOW WHOVIANS! THERES A DISCORD SERVER IVE CREATED IN ORDER FOR...nerds basically TO COMMUNICATE ABOUT DOCTOR WHO, TORCHWOOD, I CAN GUARANTEE THELL BE SOME SHERLOCK CONVERSATIONS TOO. PLEASE, COME JOIN, HAVE FUN!
thank GOD we are talking about racism towards asians now because as a dark skinned south asian woman my only representation in western media is 1) the smart brown girl studying to become a doctor or 2) the brown girl with overbearing parents who want her to get an arranged marriage. and don’t you dare tell me that this only happens in movies or shows because i cannot count the number of times that white people have come up to me and asked me what medical schools i want to apply to since i was literally 12 years old.
my culture has been stolen by white people trying to be woke while i was shamed for being south asian as a child. the golden milk you find on every white girl’s youtube channel now is haldi doodh, and my ancestors have been drinking it for thousands of years. the bindis on white girls’ foreheads as they go to coachella have served as a target for racists to attack south asian women. but when i drink haldi doodh or wear a bindi, i get stares from white people trying to dehumanize me by calling me barbaric or “backwards.”
racism towards south asians is still around and something that we NEED to keep talking about if we want to see change happen.
I just re watched COE, apparently i wanted to emotionally traumatise myself again. There’s now a video in my camera roll of me balling my eyes out over one mister Ianto Jones.
