Lost all respect for him

I just finished watching the documentary October 8 (private message me for the free link to the HD version of the documentary). October 8 is one one of several new documentaries about the October 7th, 2024 Hamas' attack on Israel and the aftermath. Instead of giving my opinion, I'll point you to a J*wish American Mira Simone Kux's critique of the documentary in her oped: October 8 is a Masterclass in American J*wish Narcissism. My focus is to point out how the October 8 documentary filmmakers used attractive women to drive their narrative home hard, because currently, the October 8 Rotten Tomatoes critic score is 81% with an audience score of 99%. Guess what, it parallels western propaganda (Hollywood and Madison Avenue ad agencies) using our women to drive their anti Asian narratives home hard too, for many decades with the proverbial 'No Dating Asian Polices' trope in movies, TV shows, Vlogs, Blogs, Books, Screenplays and Opeds.

Just throwing this question out there. What actions do you think will have the highest pro-Asian effect down the line, realistically? Like having children, learning your heritage language are good ones, but smaller, more specific actions, are important too. What things have the highest impact for the effort?

1-Five Eyes + Some Islands: They Represent the Power of Anglosphere and English Language and White ppl being on the top even when they are outside of holy continent

1. EU + Switzerland/Norway/Micro States on Western Europe: They Represent the Holy Continent and White People home

   These Two Were Mostly Overall White People Related Meanwhile The Other Two Developed Regions are

2. Asian Tigers + Japan/Macau: Honestly East Asians Are Often Seen Honorary White and East Asian Culture Definetely Seen More ''Civilized'' Compared to Other Non White People Which is Related to Skin Color of East Asians. Hard Working, Model Minority and Racist Nerdish Stereotype and White Worshipping are Also Big of reason why East Asia made it into ''developed world''

3. Gulf Countries + Israel: You Might Think What Culture Influence the Most? I honestly always think its Middle Eastern Culture. Literally 60% Percent of the World believes in 3 Abrahamic Religions and These Religions Mostly Based on Middle East. Despite Middle Easterners Mostly Non White They Actually Not Too Different From White People. Gulf Countries being Developed Represents Holy Islam and Israel Being Developed Represents Holy Judaism

And All These Regions Has ''Developing Enemy'' that often demonized

Against EU Theres Russia, A Half European Country like them that seen threat

Against Gulf Countries/Israel Theres Iran, A Shia Islamic Country (Gulf are Sunnis) Middle Eastern Country Like Them. Iran seen often as threat as well

For Asian Tigers, Its China and/or North Korea, East Asian Countries Like them and seen as Threat as well

As For Five Eyes Even tho its mostly Anglo/British Culture Themed, USA is the undoubtly Powerful one both millitary and economic. And its current rival is obviously China. Its interesting How i mentioned Five Eyes being about Power of English Language, Its Interesting to see competition between most spoken two languages of the world (chinese ve english)

Yeah I know it might be silly and not directly asian themed but this theory always catching my mind often.

AM often gets portrayed as a villain, like Wen Wu in Shang-Chi, or as just another average male lead in the Ten Rings. Meanwhile, Wong becomes a bit of a punchline in Doctor Strange 2. In the Spider-Man universe, AM remains the bad guy in both the game and the movie, despite having a half-Asian director and fans wanting genuine Asian representation instead of a forgettable flick (no shade to Ten Rings fans). I enjoyed the Marvel films for their interconnected stories, but when I tried to explore the comics, I found them pretty dull and lacking depth (honestly, if the character hadn’t become Spider-Man, he’d still just be a selfish, antisocial guy).

Even without a political agenda, Demon Slayer managed to surpass the entire American comic industry in sales in 2021. Manga is poised to continue this trend, especially as more Asians embrace stories crafted by Asian creators. I view this as a wonderful opportunity for Asians to come together, celebrate each other's cultures, learn from one another, and enjoy joyful experiences through these narratives.

Hi friends,

I'm currently doing research on how fetishization impacts Asian women in America and our experiences. I've been fetishized for my Asian identity before and know people close to me who have been affected by it, so I would like to hear from you and your experiences as well for my research.

I'm looking for Asian women (East, Southeast, and South) of all ages in America as participants. It should take no more than 5 minutes.

Thank you so much! 🤍

There's Asian as a race and there's Asian as a culture.

How important to you is knowing your parents' language as part of identifying as Asian, culturally?

As a Blk man who's been deeply analyzing social and cultural warfare, I wanted to share this video with the AZN Identity community out of respect and solidarity. I discuss True Forced Loneliness. As the kind of isolation that stems not just from personal experiences, but from systemic forces that divide and suppress youth across racial, gender, and class lines.

In this original video, I explore the dark symbolism in media, the frequencies in music, and the way cultural programming pits communities against each other with ofespecially through ageism, race/gender division, and social media warfare.

Using the Sonic vs. Metal Sonic analogy, I break down the deeper battle between good and evil, light and darkness, and how both our communities have been targeted in different but connected ways.

I'm not here to speak for the Asian community, but to speak with you—because I know we're all fighting different fronts of the same war. Much love and respect.

Apologies of this isn’t an appropriate question or the wrong sub to ask.

To be more clear. As a child of immigrants myself. I grew up around many other 1st American generation Kids from Africa, MENA, South Asia, Latin America, S.E. Asia, Korea etc. So that experience is clear to me

But recently I began to wonder about the large non-white “immigrant” communities that have been living in America since the 1800s. More Specifically Chinese Americans. Do multi-generational Chinese American communities distinguish themselves from more recent Chinese immigrant communities?

Do you guys have different community institutions, do you guys think of yourselves as a separate community from current or recent Chinese American immigrants?

I could understand why families that have been American for several generations don’t Identify themselves as in community with other people solely because they come from their Great-Great-Grandparents Homeland.

I just wanted to know the perspective of someone in those shoes

Hi everyone,

So I’m a young Asian woman, and recently I just feel like I’m about to give up on trying to make more connections with other Asian Americans and fight for our community as a whole.

I’ve always been passionate about Asian American representation and trying to connect with other Asian people, but the treatment I’ve been receiving form within our community says otherwise.

I’ve gotten a lot of hate for choosing a less than traditional career path- I majored in music in college. I was a high honor role student throughout highschool and college and selected to sing at the Asian American graduation, but the only comments that I received from my fellow Asian graduate that day was that I looked fat and ugly in my graduation gown. I’m pretty enough to have gotten selected to compete in paegents and offered various modeling gigs , but for some reason it seems as if I’m considered “ugly” within our community because I don’t look like a typical K-pop idol; I recently updated my headshot on little rednote and received hate for uploading a “ugly” photo of myself. I’ve never received so much hate from other communities albeit black, white, etc. My Asian cohorts make it very clear what they think of me and my not so great appearance. Their comments have made me cry and I’ve gone to multiple plastic surgeons because of it .

Beyond that, when I was at an all Asian event and spoke about the need for positive Asian representation in media. The organizer asked( who’s Asian himself) asked me why I would choose such a useless topic out of all the things going on in the world. I explained to him that I think it would benefit our youth to see positive role models, but he kept on dismissing my platform as being “ useless and futile”

I dealt with a hate crime back in November and spoke about the need to stop Asian hate, and yet most of the friends offering condolences to me were not even of Asian descent. Some of my Asian friends even complained that I was overreacting.

I think what really killed it for me is whenever I go out to eat at Asian restaurants with my white friends the customer service will almost always treat them better. Even security checks will go easier on them compared to me.

I just don’t know why. It seems internalized racism is incredibly prevalent throughout our community. Sometimes I feel like I’m the only one speaking about representation and anti Asian violence for us, and yet none of my Asian friends seem to care for it. In turn, many the community tends to shame me for caring so much and for being a bit different in some ways.

I’ve given up. I’ve canceled my future trips back to China and South Korea to see family and friends. I no longer feel the need to rejoin any of my Asian American focused clubs. It has been made abundantly clear that I’m not wanted.

My stock portfolio is going to shit, but at the same time I can't help but feel perversely satisfied at Trump's inane fuckery.

It would have been so easy for Trump's America and the other usual suspects to economically bully Mexico, South America, China, Africa etc, and the West would rationalize or at least tacitly accept these actions as always.

Instead, this time the man grew some orange balls and is even going after the EU, Australia, and Canada, so they now understand what it's like to be on the receiving end. I begrudgingly have to concede some respect here for that alone, even though this was definitely an incidental side effect.

It's been 4 years since Stop Asian Hate. Although Trump was the one who kicked off the association between COVID and Asians by calling it the China Virus, violent crimes actually peaked in 2021, during Biden's term. In other words the Democrats were actually the ones who were positioned to do something about it.

It's been a long time since then, but I don't think this sub has had a proper discussion going over what was done for Asian Americans during our crisis. What were the political actions taken, how effective were they, and do you think they went far enough for us?

They are telling Japan to stop accepting immigrants from other Asian countries, and instead accept white people,

because apparently other Asian immigrants will destroy japan, while white immigrants will make japan better.

And the most hilarious thing is, Japanese people started saying:

“You are white supremacists. stop telling japan what to do, you are outsiders, worry about your own countries, we’re gonna kick out white people too”

This is so funny. The same people who tell others to go back to their country are being told the same by Japanese people.

W japan

New York, I Love You is a film with multiple interconnected stories written and directed by multiple independent teams. Out of the 10 or 11 segments, two segments involved Asian female characters, Maggie Q and Shu Qi. Maggie Q played a street-wised prostitute and Shu Qi played a submissive young FOB Asian women who seems to be trapped working for an overbearing Asian male store owner boss. The only person that noticed and appreciated Shu Qi's character was an overweight Whyt male artist stalker, whom the filmmakers humanized more than the brief appearances of the two Asian males. The production consisted of three or four independent Asian teams of directors and writers, yet they gave the portrayal of Asians a pass.

In conclusion, the movie felt like it was made by a bunch of overzealous film-school students flexing style over substance. In layman's term, the movie was boring as f**k, except for the one about a high school kid who took a wheelchair bound girl to his high school prom.

In SoHo, a writer flirts with a stranger after lighting her cigarette, but is speechless when she reveals she is a call girl, leaving him her business card.

An artist who never paints eyes is inspired by a herbalist he meets in , but she declines to let him paint her. Changing her mind, she arrives at his apartment to learn he has died, and takes a sketch he made of her, cutting her own eyes out of a photograph to complete the portrait.

Appreciation for reading, one of many skills one must develop to becoming a well grounded individual, doesn't come naturally for most people. When I was younger, reading TV dinner instructions felt like a chore. Youth and impetuousness goes-hand-in-hand. Unfortunately, many people remain in this arrested-development state. A reoccurring examples of stunted development in this sub is someone who thrive on antagonizing other by purely looking to be offended (a natalist), or their peak contribution is spew Anti-Woke talking points through the lens or veneer of being pro Asians.

Developing the passion for reading is one aspect personal growth. Developing the discipline to be attentive, critical thinking (abstract thinking) and introspection (humility) comes hard for most people. Unfortunately, the very same people who exhibits intellectually laziness can't help themselves but to dive head first into an argument, debate and offering opinions that ABSOLUTELY are out of their league of comprehension. As a result, they fall into The Dunning Kruger Trap or Infinite Loop.

• The Dunning Kruger Trap - It shares the same definition as The Funning Kruger Effect of when incompetent individuals often remember their successes and forget their failures, reinforcing their inflated self-perception. This can lead to overconfidence and poor decision-making, as they may overestimate their abilities and underestimate the complexity of tasks. It becomes a 'Trap' when said individual are unwilling to accept their limitation and project their failures on other entities.

To avoid The Dunning Kruger Trap, one have to acknowledge of its existence. For both up-and-coming and seasoned person in the Asian contrarian sphere, I highly recommending giving this 30 minute explanation/definition of what The Dunning Kruger Effect is. At the very least, you'll have the tool analyze your opponents and decide rather or not to waste your time and energy on interaction with them. On the upper-end, understanding its meaning will unlock your potentials, such as to become mindful of your abilities and limitation that can lead you to adapt and circumnavigate life's roadblocks.

As incentive to give the video a glance, it compliments eastern culture/Asian culture is panicle of Confidence with Humility societies around the world. It sounds counter intuitive, but humility is in-fact one facet of the driving forces in both personal and societal growths.

Where did you move to?

How did you perform academically once you mastered the local language?

To what extent do you feel you failed or succeeded in integrating?

This sub is annoying. It's full of angry Asian guys who just hate everyone: black guys, white guys, each other, as well as Asian women. Every time I come here, I'm reminded of why I left in the first place. You guys don't care about learning about your Asian side. You just want something to blame for your bitterness and it just so happens you want to blame it on being Asian. Not attractive.

Been thinking about the terms ABB and ABG, so whatis this one called? They are nearly everywhere in a decently diverse city. Neatly dressed (k-drama coded, always a trench coat), listens to keshi and various indie Asian artist, college educated (always apart of a decent sized campus), and middle part or no part at all. Ethnicity doesn’t really matter because I’ve literally seen all Asians of different ethnicity act like this.
