One of the reasons for the invisibility of #AntiAsianRacism is inextricably connected to #ModelMinorityMyth. The myth focuses on #stereotypes of #Asians as hard-working, independent, intelligent & economically prosperous.

Stereotypes hide many issues & disappears the realities of working-class #AsianWomen’s lives.

The myth has also sometimes disrupted #InterRacial #solidarity & has been used against #Indigenous, #Black & other #RacializedGroups

This morning I'm discovering the music of Veronica Adane. Not sure where Veronica is from, but the cover lettering is Ethiopic, which implies singing in Amharic and being from Ethiopia or Eritrea. ¡Nice!
