you’re so afraid to tell people how you feel because you fear rejection, so you bury it deep inside yourself where it only destroys you more. you think it keeps things okay but it doesn’t. at some point you’ve got to realize that this is only making things worse. the truth can be scary, or it can be freeing.

The Nepali, Indian, Bangladeshi, Afghan, Vietnamese, Korean, and Chinese women who cut your hair, or do your nails, or give you spa treatments, or thread your eyebrows or upper lips? They’re all people too, lol. They aren’t dogs. They’re providing you a labor (and doing it well, might I add). They work hard and long hours every day, and often have to contend with overtly racist, misogynistic, xenophobic, and generally hostile treatment, especially from white female customers. Please don’t tokenize them or reduce them to the value of the labor they provide for you or act like the only worth they have is how well they paint your nails or cut your hair. Stop pointing out that they “can’t speak English well”. Stop acting like they’re robots.
