there’s definitely a very important discussion to be had about how people from non white minorities can be complicit in perpetuating racism against other minorities but there’s a big difference between that and “you know who’s actually at fault for the SCOTUS decision??? The Chinese”

#this one’s a bit spicy and I’m not sure if I want it to breach containment #bc I haven’t had the time to try to word it against every possible misinterpretation or bad faith reading #and also I am not the most qualified to talk on this topic in depth #so unrebloggable for the moment #but yeah I see an INCREDIBLE amount of Sinophobia/anti Asian racism in academia all the time #and a Lot of it is stuff like ‘oh they’re all sexist/racist’#which is. not great #like yes being non white does not excuse you from perpetuating racism #trust me I know enough non white PTA moms whose worst nightmare is the local school lines being redrawn #in such a way there might be more black and Hispanic kids in the school #just as one example #but again. not the same as ‘Asians are all racist’#anyway point is be very careful what the actual subtext/implication behind these discussions #are you actually talking about the role of non white people in racism #or are you just being cinophobic under the guise of progressive language #456 words #cinophobia #racism #current events #Sinophobia
