Being a member of the so called "model minority", where men are being emasculated & women fetishized, I am appalled facing this openly mocking piece by @spiegelonline @derspiegel. It cosplays as satire - but just imagine this text written against any other #BIPOC #ichbinkeinVirus
Being perceived as "mild mannered, friendly & meek" was often a necessity to survive for people of asian descent. But now, tables have turned. East Asia & Southeast Asia have become powerhouses. But the west just can't deal with it. #previoustweet #ichbinkeinVirus
The reason why @derspiegel @spiegelonline published this blatant insult is clear to me: They do not perceive people of asian descent as their equal. They don't fear our wrath. We're not relevant to them. To put it simply (and beautifully) in korean: 우습게 본다. #ichbinkeinVirus
The sad thing is, if we (of asian descent) are lucky, someone from @derspiegel @spiegelonline will come out of the woods and dish out a lukewarm apology. And all will be forgotten, while another scar has been added to my, your and our collection. #previoustweet #ichbinkeinVirus
You know why I tweet this in English, @derspiegel @spiegelonline? Because writing in my native tongue (German) about this topic almost hurts me physically & I need a clear head to process this situation. Right now, I loathe you more than @BILD. #previoustweet #ichbinkeinVirus
Being "woke" never stops. @derspiegel @spiegelonline - you can declare yourself an ally & liberal... but still be a piece of work.

To end this on a positive note, I've found a fierce group of people on #asiantwitter 💚 not all is lost, it seems 🤔 #ichbinkeinVirus
