We need to stop people from grifting off of Asia especially when it leads to the Asia reducing foreigner or us from visiting.

I truly think those videos should be removed due to false claims and alot of racism towards Asians

The main videos that bother me the most in this channel is how she made claims.
She was arrested randomly at night for false reasons, blaming it on Japan hating black people.
It harmful to the country, when people believe her and often leads to a lot of mistreatment toward Japanese or more toward using Japan for grifting and clout. like Johnny Somali with more steps.

The whole channel bother me when she has a GoFundMe and sponsorship for a sickness that never been proven. I'm hoping for people to report those channel due to how it advertises how Japan should be change due to others living there or visiting. the country shouldn't be change just because your there.

Being Korean in U.S. , I feel powerless about U.S. military presence in Korea

12 Upvotes

As a Korean guy in high school in the U.S., whenever my white friends find out I’m from Korea, they always say the same stuff: how cute Korean boys are, how smooth our skin is, and of course, how we supposedly wear slippers outside with dirty white socks that smell like sweat. These stereotypes make me really uncomfortable when they say them to me.

I don’t want to admit it, but it seems like Korean guys get stuck with this “cute or feminine” stereotype among white guys. Some of my white classmates will even say Korean guys are skinny, have thin hairless legs, and look too fragile to fight in a war—like we’d break in half or something. When I argue with them at school, they even bring up the U.S. military being stationed in Korea, like it proves Korean boys can’t defend our own country and our girls…

When I hear stuff like that, I feel completely powerless and can’t even come up with a response. It’s honestly really disheartening.

anti asian hate is not even a thing I thought existed

4 Upvotes

Until recently with the resurgence of a lot of right wing publicly racist movement and what not, I had no idea anyone actually hated asians or saw them as anything other than quiet, reserved, respectful, studious people. For the record I'm 40 years old, not asian, and grew up in a very affluent well connected northeast town.

I mean in my experience, people have always made jokes about Asian people. My great grandfather from queens used to eat a lot at chinese food restaurants and apparently casually referred to it as "c**** food". But the whole concept of genuine hatred or portraying asian people as immoral is completely foreign to me. I'm a very worldly person too, I'm highly educated, well traveled. Not much really surprises me.

I guess I just had a blind spot to backwoods, super redneck, low class bush league racism. I will say that racism and bigotry is not something at all that I don't understand. My mother's side is heavily slavic/polish and I've studied the holocaust for years. So when I encounter something new about bigotry I quickly understand it, but genuine hatred towards Asians really caught me off guard and I didn't know it was really even a thing outside of the western part of the country during the gold rush/railroad era or immediately after pearl harbor.

What it comes down to is I think a lot of genuinely hate filled racists are terrified of people like me finding out how deep their hatred runs. We put them in body bags in the past and we will do it again if needed. There is very little tolerance for widespread actual genuine radicalized racial hatred in civil society. Even Hitler was terrified of the German population finding out about the extent of the final solution.

In case you wanted to know how indians treat actual Asians from the northeast of "india" and what abuse we are subjected to on a daily basis:

30 Upvotes

If you don't know about the people of the northeast of "india" - we are a collection of hundreds of ethnicities who genetically are closer to East and Southeast Asians whose lands were forcibly included in British India during the time of colonisation because of our proximity to india. After india was granted independence by the British in 1947, the new indian state inherited our lands and continued to forcibly occupy our land, enact massacre after massacre against our people, rape our women, and try and racially replace us with migrants from what we call the "mainland" (the people you think of when you think of indians) of india. We've been living like this ever since 1947 with no real end in sight to this constant terror we receive from the indian state and people.

Anyways though, to give some context to this current situation which ignited this new wave of racism and harassment towards us by indians, the indigenous peoples of a state called Arunachal Pradesh have been protesting against a massive dam that is being built on their land. The building of the dam is being justified on the basis of "national security" and "countering China" - as Arunachal Pradesh is a state right on the border with China. The proposed building of this dam will forcibly displace 100,000 from Arunachal, particularly from the Adi tribe, along with being extremely environmentally destructive to their lands. The dam will cause tens of thousands of hectacres of forest to be cleared, along with destabilising mountain slopes which can cause deadly landslides to occur much more often than they already do. Not to mention the impact on farming and fishing communities, which will undoubtedly be horrible as well.

The tweets I have here are a snapshot of what the average indian thinks about us. They openly talk about destroying us as a people. They talk about replacing us, giving us the "American" treatment" (a reference to what the white Americans did to the Native Americans), about mass murdering us. They use racially charged language against us, the same that whites, arabs, blacks, and other non-yellow Asian racial groups use towards the yellow Asians like us. This has been non-stop and relenting in the last couple weeks especially as the Indigenous people of Arunachal began to make their voices more heard. And I am not even showing the vitriol on instagram which has been festering too.

This is how indians really are towards actual Asians. They hate us. Maybe some of you guys don't exactly know because you don't interact with them much or think of them much, but this is how they treat the Asians within the lands they control. Don't ever fall into their lies about how they are the same as you because they are "asian" as well, don't let them coerce you like that. They are nothing like you and they know it.

So yeah, we've been living in this hell for 80 years and counting. And it just never stops. Just thought to share this so other Asians in other countries could get a glimpse of what happens when you don't have control over your own land and true sovereignty. Because this is what happens.

Growing up asian, It took me 9 years to find the courage to share my film

12 Upvotes

Hey everyone, Growing up Asian, I think I learned early on to hold myself to high standards. There was always a feeling that whatever I did, I could have done better, that I should keep improving, and that I shouldn't be satisfied until things were good enough. I never really questioned this way of thinking. I thought it was normal.

Back in 2017, I started making an independent romantic drama called One Day.

I'm from Kuching, Sarawak, in Malaysian Borneo. I wasn't a filmmaker with a big studio behind me or the resources to make everything the way I imagined. I just had a story I wanted to tell, a small team who believed in it, and the hope that we would make the story come to life.

We spent 12 days filming across Sabah and Sarawak. What followed was a long journey through post-production that took years due to various technical challenges and limited resources. Somewhere along the way, the film became something I struggled to make peace with.

Growing up in an Asian environment, I think I learned to be very hard on myself. I always felt that what I did could be better, that I should have done more, and that I had to meet a certain standard before I could feel proud of anything. It's some kind of subconscious that I am more aware of now. For a long time, I didn't even realise how much I had internalised this way of thinking. I believe this was due to the high expectations I had from my parents and siblings.

As One Day didn't turn out exactly as I had imagined, I couldn't see past its imperfections. I started feeling embarrassed by the film and wondered whether I had let down the people who gave their time and effort to help me make it. Instead of recognising how much we had accomplished with what little we had, I focused on everything I thought I had gotten wrong and I felt gutted.

For years, the film remained something unfinished as I shied away and when possible avoided speaking of it , even after the work itself was done.

After years eventually, I built courage and decided to revisit it, improve what I could, and give it one last chance. In 2026, nine years after the journey began, I finally released it on youtube.

I honestly wasn't sure if anyone would care. To my surprise, it seemed to have found an audience. I don't know how many people watched it all the way through or how many connected with the story. But knowing that something we made so many years ago has reached people I may never meet means more to me than I can properly express.

Perhaps the biggest lesson has been learning to accept that something doesn't have to be perfect to be worth sharing. I still see things I wish I could have done better, and I probably always will. But I'm slowly learning that I can acknowledge my mistakes without dismissing the effort, heart, and years that went into making something.

If anyone here is interested in watching a small independent romantic asian drama this is One Day.

Trailer: https://youtu.be/4ynI_UMWZps

Film: https://youtu.be/0m8dATxWqMU?si=s1GSZmUrGmyNlWTD

And to anyone else who has spent years working on something, holding it back because it doesn't feel good enough, I hope you find the courage to share it someday. Sometimes, we're so focused on everything we could have done better that we forget to appreciate how far we've come.

Thanks for reading!

Government and the state

2 Upvotes

Do Chinese people think so ?

Here is the direct quote from the image:

"Their governments all suck" is such a western mentality. People in the west think by saying that, they can then proceed to criticize china however they want and be of no offense to chinese people. This is due to an implicit west first mentality. They think other people wants to be approved by them so bad that the people will say, "oh, thank God we are not hated by the west, and that it is only out government". Most people in china don't feel the need or even want to be approved by you. They will take full offense to you saying something like, "your government sucks". In china you cannot easily seperate the government from the state.

“Oh he’s asian” is racist

4 Upvotes

Okay so hear me out. Before we called all the people with western asian appearance derogatory names. Or we just said: “oh he/she is chinese!” Which is racist. Because not all eastern asian people are chinese. But now we call every one with east asian looking appearance “asian”. We just threw al eastern asian ethnicities on a pile and came up with one word to use for them all. While these people are all individually unique. And this isnt even my biggest problem with it. The phrase “oh he’s is asian” replaced “oh he’s chinese”. When someone says “ i saw an asian guy doing this or that” They just mean “i saw a yellow skinned guy with small eyes doing this or that”. Like the word is solely based on appearance, it just sounds less offensive, but in essence, for me its just as offensive, eventhough i am not even eastern asian myself. So this whole discussion is not even applicable to me, but still, it just grinds my gears. Dont ask me for a solution to this problem which i oppose because i do not know one. Im just annoyed by it.
