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.
In this talk, speaker Molly Bui explores the dangers of #Asian#Fetishization. This talk contains references to sex and sexual violence against #AsianWomen.
This talk was presented to a local audience at #TEDxYouthBloomington, an independent event.
Lots of other white men, including some of my husband’s [#journalism colleagues, were quick to comment that we shouldn’t jump to conclusions. Well, that’s bullshit. Even for people who did recognize the shootings as an act of #racism, I had to explain to them that it’s not just racism. It’s a #racialized#misogyny that’s very, very specific to #AsianWomen. ]
Similar to #Canada’s #ResidentialSchool system. The last residential school closed in 1996. (Grollier Hall, closed in 1997, wasn't state-run residential school.)
The U.S. Federal Indian boarding school system ran from 1819-1969 & included 408 federal schools.
The flags outside of #SCOTUS Justice Alito's homes are symbols that fuel white nationalism.
Throughout U.S. history, Americans have been warned that anti-Black #racism is deeply embedded in the fabric of our society and institutions... and has always been a threat to #democracy. Real progress will require racism to be confronted within Americans' minds, homes, and communities first, not just Washington D.C. https://www.axios.com/2024/05/24/alito-censure-flag-jan-6-democrats
The previous barriers to land ownership were a holdover from when #Canada considered #Indigenous people and governments to be wards of the government, according to Braker. Before the 1960s, governments required #FirstNations to get the approval of #IndianAgents before buying land.
Even after the practice was abolished, #BritishColumbia had its own #legislation preventing First Nations from holding property.
[“The judge hates Donald [#Trump,” he said. “Just take a look. Take a look at him. Take a look at where he comes from.” New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan emigrated from Colombia as a child. But this time there was little outcry from the inured populace, and if Republican leaders had any complaints about Trump’s textbook #racism (or on his third #Reich moment of this campaign) I must have missed them.]]
#Racists in #Canada are flipping out at #ParksCanada decision to tell ugly truth about #JohnAMacDonald & not #whitewash factual #history to appease white folks who think that cruel man was a hero. He was a #genocider of Indigenous & a huge #sexist jerk. People like that don't deserve respect after death. People who put evil people like that up on heroic pedestals suffer from #racism.
Just search Parks Canada & John A MacDonald & you'll see what I'm talking about. I'm not giving racists traffic.
The Palestinian genocide has exposed so many things. You may not care about it, but the issues arising from it in : #surveillance , #corruption, #lobbying, #internationallaw, #racism, etc. etc. will come to affect you— one way or another.
Austerity, Brexit, Covid Lockdown Parties, PPE Scandal, Raw Sewage in UK Waterways & Coastal Areas, Economic Crash, Record Inflation, Record Interest Rates, Cost of Living Crisis, Pensions Decimated, Mortgage Rises, NHS in Crisis, Schools Crumbling, Housing Crisis...
Go for it! The #UK's major cities mostly voted remain, but it was the shires & small towns who voted #Brexit mostly based on #Racism & #Immigration.
It will forever be a stain on the UK in my opinion, however it also sounds a warning which we ignore at our peril, as 1930s #Germany did.
I don't think #Scotland realises how much support it has South of the border. It's Westminster based on the constitutional question of the Union where your issues lie.
To ask “what was here before whiteness” is to open the more dangerous question: what had to be eliminated, for this way of organizing reality to appear natural.

@DropBear@serge There is so much wrong with your post that it would take forever to properly unpack... Primarily you are tokenizing Jews via one of the most fringe sects out there. Secondly, you fundamentally do not understand what Zionism is.
>> roots of #Zionism can be traced to the early 17th century…Jews didn't start using the term in relation to themselves until very late in the 19th century
>> Jewish Zionism comes in many forms
What are some examples of non-Jewish Zionism. Genuinely curious.
You are either spewing #Soviet#propaganda or you disagree with this characterization. The only way you can remove any doubt is by citing your own reliable source(s) from where you got this idea.
