Due to covid, Asians have seen a spike of xenophobia & racist hate crimes all throughout the world that need to be spoken about & accounted for. 〰️ Historically, Asians have faced disparities such as the model minority myth. The model minority myth was created by Americans during post WWII, to portray the narrative that Asian immigrants successfully assimilated, despite experiencing racism in America. 〰️ This is not only harmful & incredibly racist, but farther from the actual truth. 〰️ The model minority myth was created to pit Asians against other BIPOC races, especially during a time where mass Asian immigration was happening in America. 〰️ Also, it fails to recognize the different experiences of all different Asian racial groups, & also ignores Southeast Asian populations such as Thai, Vietnamese, Philippines, Hmong, Laotian, & Cambodian, South Asians such as India, Sri Lanka and Nepal, as well as Indigenous people. It diminishes their real struggles, & wipes away their history & trauma. 〰️ + Due to the model minority myth, people have grouped Asian Americans with the likeness of white people. 〰️ Please support and stand up for Asian American communities. Remember them in your anti-racism work. Hate crimes are happening everywhere, we need the media to be covering them, & there needs to be accountability for them. 〰️ ✨The quote + last slide are from @seoulcialite!!」2月11日 6時08分
