      When you don't know the book and try to figuring out the plot based on romance clichés: so the soldier guy is like her nice love interest. Than the demon-girl is a spin at the anti-hero architype, which mean she will win the love-triangle?
      Later in the video: damn, the dude is emotionally torturing her? And want to commit genocide? Having a tortured soul? The other one was in a literal dungeon! Really? Do these publishers demand heteronormativity?

    As an Asian-American woman who works in a predominantly white and female field, I've definitely also dismissed my own feelings about systematic racism and inequality as something that is "not a big deal," so I'll have to check out Minor Feelings. On another note, I pretty much had the same thoughts as you about Spin the Dawn. Also wish they had explored the war aspect more because it's there in the background and she loses two of her brothers to it but it doesn't feel like it was really fleshed out beyond "our heroine needs a tragic backstory."

    About the anti-asian sentiment, I've felt this so deeply. It's called the model minority myth. We have an (often destructive) work ethic embedded in our cultures that is often used to dismiss racism we face, or even racism as a whole. Growing up, particularly as a brown skinned asian I never knew what to call the racism/prejudices I've been subject to because it's never talked about in media or discussed much. Sometimes, people even erase us from asian spaces.

    I really appreciated what you were saying RE: Minor Feelings. It did leave me wondering how you conceptualize the privileges that folks who are considered "model minorities" have that Black folks, Latinx, and Indigenous communities don't have access to. I really appreciate the way that you pushed back against the cookie-cutter paradigm of race in America, and I also think it's super important that while we're acknowledging that the way race is constructed in the U.S. doesn't allow for the full experience, the full humanity, of marginalized communities that we also recognize that there are certainly varying degrees of privilege and opportunity.

    I won't lie as a black woman I have experienced more overt and direct racism at the hands of Asians than I have whites. I think this often causes me to struggle with understanding how racism effects the asian community. I think another thing that causes a disconnect for me is that it feels like a lot of asians try and separate themselves from the minority title and stick to their "own" in times of social injustice. I think with the younger generations this is changing. I hope to hear from more asian americans about their struggles because I am sure they're not very different from my own. You guys deal with colorism and gentrification just like the rest of us. Your various cultures have been commodified and worn like costumes and perverted as well. Discrimination is a human experience. I hope we get to a point that we can eliminate it rather than fighting over who has it worst or being accused of being too sensitive. At the end of the day, even if you win the struggle olympics, what is the prize?

      Anti-black racism is a huge problem for Asians and I hate it :( The model minority myth def keeps Asians separated and even used to punch down at other minority groups like black ppl and latinos. What I found interesting about the book is that it talks about how we play both roles of the oppressed and the oppressor. It really serves no one any good; it just keeps white people at the top and we all get screwed over anyway
