things that make me pissed, a thread
asian edition
(you can add on btw!)
ok before i start, i’ll be mainly using chinese examples instead of all of asia since i’m chinese and i’m not familiar with other cultures (and also i don’t want to get it wrong)
using our language as an aesthetic

what?? the fuck??? our language isn’t an aesthetic, stop profiting off of our language
using our traditional clothing a “trend”

i’ve seen this so much when i went to the dollskill website for the first time. it’s absolutely disgusting to look at them
why would you change qi paos to something sexual?? it’s wrong on so many levels
racial comments

this happened a lot more than i thought, these are screenshots i found from a big discord server i was in
i would include searching up chink but the replies are very hateful so :/
(keep in mind that the people in the first and third ss are ADULTS)
facial features

these comments are so hurtful towards asians, i didn’t even expect to get comments like these when i live in a city full of chinese people
i’ve gotten so many negative replies when i started talking to more people online
i’ve been told my eyes should be slanted +
and i’ve been told my skin should be more yellow

i’m literally chinese with a rosy tint skin shade, not all asians have yellow skin, stop saying that
stereotypes

since i’m chinese, i’ll mainly talk about stereotypes that i know/have experienced

- “how do you speak english so well?” “where’d you learn english from?” (i know people have asked this in the fandom but i’d like to think u guys mean no harm) people have asked me +
this question SO many times, just because i’m chinese, it doesn’t mean i can’t speak english

- “you must be smart!” “*something about math*” no, just please no
just because i’m chinese, it doesn’t mean i’m any better at a certain subject than you are

+
- just any corona joke: these aren’t funny at all, they never were, they never will be
it made me so pissed off when i first got called corona, it’s hurtful and not all chinese people have corona

- food stereotypes: we get asked if we eat dogs a lot
i can’t speak for every

+
chinese person but i don’t eat dogs, something new to you could be something completely normal to someone else
eg, a lot of hong kongers would eat pigeon, it may seem weird to you but it’s normal for people here (i think? i’ve been to those types of restaurants once, i

+
definitely need to do more research on this though)
i also notice that a lot of people always assume indians only eat curry
i found this tik tok video which explains it a lot better than i can
there’s definitely a lot more things that makes me mad but these are the main things that i can think of, below are some carrds and threads that i found that’s really helpful !
another one !!

using sc/ig filters to slant your eyes to make it seem like the “fox eye trend”

makeup is so cool !! however, doing the fox eye is cultural appropriation of asian features
doing this gesture is really just,,, not it
the fox eye trend is basically another version of this
it’s racist, just stop
i hope this all made sense, i’m super sorry if i worded something wrong
