Was mit dem guten Ausländer ist in Bezug auf die Gewalt auf #tuttytran? Wir sind von rassistischer Gewalt nicht verschont, sogar wenn wir Rassismus reproduzieren. Und: #ModelMinority ist auch dazu da, Ressentiments gegen Schwarze zu stärken. Es ging nie um einen Ticket, zu den weißen zu gehören.

"Many Koreans were outraged at the treatment of the detained workers, who were seen as vital to a major economic project, yet were paraded in shackles — hands, waists and ankles bound — as if they were dangerous criminals."
that's what it's like being #modelminority

It’s the #ModelMinority trope, that soooooo many POC fall for when they think they’ve acquired enough wealth, education, status to be included in the circle of white nationalists. They think that if they assimilate the behavior of white nationalists that it will insulate them from their brutality. 😂
My fellow Asian brother, what are we doing. Not beating the #ModelMinority label.
Reading about the BOG’s questions to #santaono… this #modelminority person got set up to be publicly embarrassed! I wanna feel sad for him but dude was trying too hard to be accepted. 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
“It’s outrageous to line your pockets off the misery of the poor
Outrageous, the crimes some human beings must endure
It’s a blessing to wash your face in the summer solstice rain
It’s outrageous, a man like me stand here and complain…”

History will tell the story of how Asians sided with white supremacists to dismantle Affirmative Action…only for them to still up struggling to get into those Ivy Leagues and PWI’s. Black People were never their enemy #ModelMinority #BlackPeople

Model minorities are often used as a wedge to dismiss the systemic struggles of other marginalized groups, especially Black people. Proximity to privilege does not equal liberation, and their experiences cannot represent the realities of those at the heart of systemic oppression. #modelminority

Learning to blend in is a #survival technique that has worked for centuries. As an #immigrant we were told to be #grateful and #thankful that the USA took in our broke a$$es
We were told to have #gratitude and #behumble
We were fed lies about the #modelminority BS💩💩💩
The fact that I'm 44 years old and have gone thru a lot 💩💩💩 has taught me to #adapt #assimilate #fitin #blendin #dontmakewaves #beobediant #respectauthority #modelminority #workhard #dothework #shutup #eatmyfeelings #swallowsadness #internalize #examinemylife #imtheproblem #taketheblame
Interesting article about philosemitism/antisemitism in East Asia, and the current conflict in Israel-Palestine. #ModelMinority hazards.
