Thank u guys for talking about Asian racism, the microagressions, and how we internalize and shit. I just had to deal with that today. And I feel like a piece of shit bc it was in my home and I did the silent, slight chuckle reaction to it all bc I was on autopilot and reverted back to how I have always reacted since I was a kid to Asian racism. Every time it's someone who says they're my friend so how am I supposed to react? From a kid to almost 40 yrs old and I still can't react right ugh... One time during the pandemic, I had a car drive by me and yell 'ch-nk' at me and I just stood there too. Smh... Anyway I feel so ashamed and like I contributed to disrespecting my race in my home right during Chinese New Year (I'm Chinese) and after that CA shooting... Idk what to do. If I report it, it will be bad. Idk if I can just let it go and see her again from this point on without us discussing this and I know she is gonna think she didn't do anything wrong... I seriously hate how Asian racism is blown off as nothing. Smh. (sorry for the blabbing)
You're giving yourself a hard time. I don't think you need to take responsibility for all Asian Americans. I know we beat ourselves up a lot when we don't stick up for ourselves/our community in that way. But that chuckle you're talking about is a survival skill. It's a learned behavior to cope with a society that has been cruel to us. I work with a lot of younger Asian American kids, who are growing up in a more accepting environment thanks to people in previous generations like you. They are always calling out microaggressions. I think a lot of times most people in this country know those microaggressions are wrong, and sometimes they just need a reminder not to do that. And most younger Asian kids I see have the confidence to do just that. And that's progress! I would say definitely address it with that person again if you feel called to. But be kind to yourself either way.
@@tobypark2045 I had to take a deep breath when reading ur reply. Ur definitely right that I'm being hard on myself. Over a week later and Im still kicking myself about it. So last Wed, I did finally confront her in text and of course she denied being racist and that she didn't mean anything in a racist way. She was sorry that I took it that way lol. U know those bad versions of apologies the person doesm't actually mean them... After a few times of us both repeating ourselves to no avail, I gave up and called it a sorta peaceful standstill. I told her supervisor (along with other things she had done wrong) so it's out in the world and ppl know it happened. Because I have to depend on her though, I am trying to give her another chance for now and her supervisor said I can report my complaint anytime if I want so that's good. So far, she is not saying anymore racist things at least but it's awkward as hell for me and I almost dunno how to talk to her anymore. Ah well. I had to realize that it's not my job to make someone realize they are being racist and shit, when they're a grownass adult and older than me. But just 1 example of what she said... She said her cat had hurt her so she wanted to bring her cat to a Chinese restaurant (as in the stereotype that Chinese people eat cats and dogs). She didn't deny saying it when I brought it up to her and I explained how I ended up interpreting it, but she denied that she meant it in a racist way. How is it not racist though?! So ridiculous.
27:00 When I told my mom that I want to be a DJ. She said "No. You can't compete with them". 20 years when the DJ money started to come in, her response "Son, you work too hard for these dj gigs. Can you do less?" LUL
