Ch6: actions speak truth

“For 7 years we have been together and she keeps this! From me!?” Said Eric as Bob sat on the couch and listened to Eric ranting and venting “i tell her my favorite food, embarrassing moments, fucking favorite deodorant BUT THIS FROM ME!-“ said Eric as Bob had to calm him down a little

“Eric calm down…so start it off from the top”

“…what do you do when someone you love lied to you for 7 years…”

“Huh? Eric-“

“My girlfriend is an SCP…and she never told me…”

This made Bob stop in his tracks as he said “oh shit! Quite a secret!…how does it make you feel?” He asked as Eric sighed “just…angry..? We shared everything our plans the future etc wait…what if that’s more of the lies she had said no! That’s a fucked up thing to think-“ Bob put a hand on his shoulder as he stopped ranting as he asked “have you ever once doubt she doesn’t love you in return?” Eric shook his head ‘No’

“Well then what’s the problem?”

“She’s part of something very dangerous that can kill in a heartbeat…”

“Well…have I ever told you that you should forgive her no matter what?” Said Bob as he basically told Eric to give Makaila a second chance “she’s know more about giving second chances…why not tell me?“ said Eric as he looked at his dad “it can be difficult to admit the things your not proud of..especially to the ones you hurt you love…she fucked up sure!…she’s floored…but hey..down here isn’t…if there’s anything I learned is that words are cheap…but actions they speak the truth”

I'm really fucking angry & have been sitting with this for a few days.

Why is nobody talking about the fact that 215 children's bodies were discovered in Canada, all killed in Kamloops Indian Residential School?

the last Residential School was closed in the fucking 80s, but I've heard fellow native people say it's 1996.

closed in the 1980s-90s.

that wasn't long ago.

I'm crying as I write this and my blood is boiling, nobody is fucking talking about these poor babies who were ripped from their families and MURDERED!!!

nobody outside of Canada fucking talks about this. I'm so sick of it. There's so much violence towards native people, and nobody gives a shit.

They're ripping through our land as I speak, and our Prime Minister is at the center of it!

his statement towards the discovery of these children is to call this a "shameful chapter of our country's history" BUT HEY, JUSTIN??? the chapter ain't fucking done, you sick monster!!

there are 40 year olds who are still alive, who were survivors of the residential schools!!!

I'm so disgusted. I'm so done. I'm so, so disappointed in this awful country.

i hope everyone remembers that micro aggressions still happen and asians still arent past the point of being racially targetted in the united states

my 7 year old brother literally got told by a white woman without a mask on to put on his mask…im not even joking its cold season right now and everyone behind her was coughing and yet she decides to pick on my 4 ft tall little brother…

and everyone pls remember that asians arent just “aesthetically appealing” . its not just china and korea and japan. im speaking as someone whos filo-chinese , the philippines exists and we still get shit for it in america. theres southeast asians like from cambodia, indonesia, malaysia, theres south asians (indians), asia is not just one unified culture but so many that influence each other.

so when you say that you “like asian culture”, are you just saying that you like anime and kpop idols? do you like cute bento boxes and “the language”? what language? mandarin? hindi? every dialect on the philippine islands? do you like the culture or the aesthetic?

do you also appreciate the ugly side where we can’t live up to the standard our parents hold for us? would you eat a chicken fetus because you love asian culture that much? (its called balut btw). would you acknowledge the asians with dark skin or the asians that are plain dirt poor?

…or maybe youre just a part of the problem too?

fetishization also happens to us, like in miss saigon—a broadway show about themes of asian fetishization/prostitution with a vietnamese mc…lea solanga was the actress for kim, and yet i don’t know if many people are aware that the actress was a filipina and not an east asian...she even voiced jasmine and mulan’s singing voice. we’re here and yet, somewhat invisible. i don’t know how many people would even know that filipinos are aapi.

the philippines is literally almost the size of japan, we have vocal stars like morisette, comedians like jokoy and world famous boxers (shoutout to my guy manny pacquiao with the worst filipino accent in existence).

and yet, why are we forgotten in this debate ?

Quote from “Into the Breach” by Ocean Vuong

[chia-seed-smoothie]

just saw a couple posts either deliberately excluding brown people from the category of poc or forgetting about their existence so here i am. as a brown person, i am sick and tired of people forgetting that we exist. we experience racism and harassment too, and somehow, some people just don't seem to realize that or just decide to ignore that fact.

i've had people tell me that i'm not asian, that i'm not a person of color, i've even had people tell me that i'm white. i've been told (during the height of the anti-aapi hate movement) that my struggles as an asian american aren't as important, i've been told that my skin is "too light" to be brown skin, i've had people tell me my skin is "too dark" to be asian skin, i've had people tell me that only east asian people are asian, i've had people tell me i should stop "pretending to be a poc".

i've had white people tell me that i can't be struggling in school because "indians are good at that". i've watched people take my culture and treat it as some kind of cool trendy thing that can be used to make their photos look more interesting and cool. i've had people ask me if i "speak indian" or if i can make indian food or if i can tell them something in "indian".

i've had people tell me i look "so exotic" and tell me that my skin looks like mud and i've had people tell me that i should go back to where i came from and people tell me i don't belong here and i've been told that "my kind of people" are ruining america.

i've heard people justifying the british takeover of india by saying that indians were stupid and poor anyways, so the britishers were doing them a favor. i've heard people saying that indian food is so gross and weird and that anybody who enjoys it has bad taste.

i've had people tell me that brown people can't be queer, i've heard people say that brown people are innocent and shouldn't be sex positive, i've heard people say that i can't like people who aren't brown because it would be "contaminating their genes" or some shit like that.

i've heard people from my own community adopting these views because of how often they're thrown in our faces. i've had people in my community tell me i'm not indian enough, that since their skin is darker than mine they're somehow "browner" or their experiences are more valid. i've heard people shit on their own culture for no other reason than other people saying its weird.

i'm growing up in a world where i'm not even thinking about representation anymore, where, at this point, i just want people to realize that we exist and we aren't a whole bunch of religion obsessed, school loving, poor people in some random corner of the world. we are just as diverse and interesting and deserving of support as anybody else and i'm tired of people saying otherwise.

I honestly don’t know how to process my thoughts and emotions. But I am heavily grieving with the rise in anti-Asian hate crimes. It had to cost the lives of 8 Asian people to make national headlines. And this wasn’t the first incident. Please check on your Asian friends. Today, we are mourning. We need your solidarity and support. From one human being to another.

(Political vent)

Honestly its really depressing how the American (specified because thats the one I know of) Education System has fucked up and failed our generation and I assume all the prior ones by really just teaching propaganda in history and Debate over discussion in highschool English courses

Why are we taught how to change someone elses mind much more than we are taught to criticize and analyze our own beliefs when confronted with opposing evidence and adjust it accordingly?

Why is it we never talk about the millions of people - beyond slavery (which they dont cover well either) and the holocaust (which Im sure they have issues in as well) - that died, were brutally murdered, genocided, ethnically cleansed and chased out of their homelands due to white power, white colonialism, and this idea of white superiority?

Its so frustratinf because its hard to even be mad about the ignorance of the average person as even POC have to unlearn / learn on their own what was omitted and what was doctored to make it look like all the atrocities were lightning-in-a-bottle events that we should learn from rather than events that have gone on recently whose sentiments still stay?

And honestly? Im thinking shit like the displacement of native americans and indigineous individuals that is briefly commented as a "kinda bad thing RIP trail of tears" before running off yo be talked about ouer MaNerFeSt DEstiNERY like okay we are just gonna like "oh yeah that was bad but it was such a foundation for the American pride and power of the MANIFEST DESTINY that made us the LAND OF THE FREE"

And genuinely, America supported the mass killings of half a million up to two million Indonesians cause mER caPItaLisM but no one feels bad about the horrible atrocities done to AAPI let alone "that random small island country in Asia I think"

Most Americans dont know the first thing about Indonesia even though they fucking aided in mass murders

And before any Brits come on here, yall are worse and the reason America is like this. If yall ask "Who raised America to be like this" you. You did. This is your fucking piece of shit of a kid.

[adoodleintime]

My yearbook group was told to remove our mentions of Stop AAPI Hate and Black Lives Matter from the book, because of how controversial they are.

Isn't it funny how treating people like people is considered controversial?

[enviasun]

mini rant, judgmental people test my patience :)

One of my biggest peeves is when someone says something disrespectful/judgmental, and when they get called out for it, they defend it as a “oh you just can’t handle someone with a different opinion”

I see this a LOT on twitter right after someone says something awful. No, it’s not like I can’t “handle” your opinion. It’s that you believe something that hurts other people, and that says a lot about your character, so I don’t wanna deal with you. I’m not sensitive, I just know when to stay away from toxic people

Difference of opinion is “I like blue and you like red.” Both people are in the right, there’s nothing wrong with liking either color. 

What’s not a difference of opinion is if you’re a racist :) cause who would have thought, you’re not just wrong, you’re also an asshole who’s only personality trait is being bigoted :)

[antidotefortheawkward-art]

And happy Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month to y’all

Welcome to the AG Collector Zine!!

This is the hub account for the zine, and is currently only run by @doll-collecting-aerialist, who uses she/her pronouns. In the future I may get more collaborators on this account (although it’s a side account that used to be used for my 11 year old self venting in 2011 so.. I don’t know if I want others to see those drafts lmfao).

I am looking for others to regularly help with design input, as well as looking through submissions, coming up with ideas for returning columns, etc.. So if you’re interested, reblog and/or DM, and we’ll figure out what platform to create a group chat on.

Submissions can be sent through DM, and media can also be sent through asks!! There may be Google surveys and whatnot that the community can participate in as well!!

This zine will be a pay per issue zine available on Etsy. The price will only cover the cost of shipping and materials, and if there’s any left over money, it will go to whatever organization American Girl has chosen to support that year with their GOTY (this year it is AAPI Rising). When we get things all figured out, we may also have a free online option available.

This zine is purely voluntary, and no one, including myself, will be making a profit off of it. Everyone contributing to the zine is working on their own time, and issue release dates may be spotty!! Dollblr is generally a respectful community, but as always, don’t rush the people putting this zine together!! This is only one of my hobbies, I gotta work at the circus and do college work as well!!

Keep an eye out for Rules, Columns that need community participation, and more specific information!! And if you’re over 18, you can join @kirstensleepey’s discord, where there is also a channel for the zine.

And if you have any name suggestions for the zine, by all means shoot them at me.

In response to Megan’s tweet from 2011 that resurfaced this week, I would like to start by saying that I am white and so my thoughts on the tweet are really irrelevant (and I encourage all other white allies to reflect on and recognize the same). But as a fan of Megan’s and someone who has a fan account that largely posts about her, I want to address the tweet and more specifically how it seems a lot of fans are dismissing her tweet right off the bat or ignoring it outright.

First of all, her tweet was racist. Period. Those words perpetuate racist stereotypes that then go on to lead to violence towards the AAPI community. That tweet cannot be taken as anything other than racist. Yes, we do not know the full context, but in any context, that is not okay. To my followers in the AAPI community, I am so sorry you had to read those hurtful, damaging words. While I understand that I may not be a safe person to speak to at this time as a white person myself, do know that my ask and messages are open and I am here to serve as a place to vent or process or offer support if you need.

I agree with many other people’s responses regarding evolution and change that mention that Megan is not the same person she was 10 years ago. I do think we need to give people the opportunity to grow and become better. I think that Megan has shown that she has evolved and is a better person and has been deeply committed to active anti-racism work for the past several years. While I think this is all true, I also do not think we should simply brush away her tweet. Her tweet was still her words. They are still hurtful. We can hold people accountable without canceling them. I would like to see Megan address this tweet and use this as an opportunity to speak about racism towards the AAPI community, which she hasn’t spoken as much about in her anti-racism work.

As fans, we shouldn’t ignore this. As a group of people who really like and admire Megan, we can still fully recognize the harm of her actions and hold her accountable. Liking someone and maintaining accountability are not mutually exclusive. Actually, I think really liking someone entails calling them out when necessary. We can be fans without excusing her words in that tweet.

My heart goes out to all AAPI fans of Megan. I can imagine that this is incredibly painful.

[kpopfanfictrash]

Hi Shanna, I love your blog and have been following you for quite some time. I hope you are doing well. I stumbled upon the post abt AAPI you reblogged recently. I am glad you reposted, thank you. This is probably not the right place to say this, so sorry. Although I am not American I am of Asian descent. Adopted and lived in Europe since I was 5 months old. Although I can't relate to all of it I can definitely relate to the feeling of never being quite "Asian" or "European" enough. I've very much grown up as a European kid and I think as a person I definitely reflect the values and traditions in my country.

Despite that I have heard comments abt my eyes, my looks etc before and it is awful. I once visited a neighbouring country and this European guy came up to me and spoke "Chinese" to me. "Chinese" as in strings of random sounds that make no sense cause white people think it is funny. And I swear to God I went straight to my hotel room and started crying bcz wtf people can be so ugly. In a way I think all the comments throughout my earlier life has made me stronger and in a way less tolerant to people bs-ing their way into my life. I am incredibly proud of who I am and how I look and I try everyday to love myself. At the same time I do not find it fair at all that there's no other option than to learn to deal with it and then you just have to pick up the pieces cause nothing is being done about the blatant racism towards Asian people.

Anyways sorry for the vent. This was probably not the right place to say this. Thank you anyways❤��

Hi, anon! This is absolutely the right place to say this. Please don't apologize; I'm always happy to boost your experience/story. It makes me so incredibly sorry to hear those things happened to you. While @bendthekneetobangtan's post was from an Asian-American perspective, racism and discrimination of course exist elsewhere. Thank you for sharing your experience and please let me know if there's any other resources/thoughts you feel would be helpful to share! I hope you're staying safe + healthy at this time, and am sending you all the love.
