CRYING THIS IS LITERALLY SCOUT

From an early age, Asian artists are taught to erase ourselves and other people of color. But self-love puts us back in the picture. It’s easy to beat ourselves up for centering/privileging whiteness—which I’ve done in my previous works. But it’s not mutually exclusive to be proud of those works, and still recognize our failings and limitations that we need to work on. It’s not wholly incumbent on creators of color to dismantle racist institutions on our own (the responsibility lies primarily with the white people who built them), but we can and should do our best to push back on these systems whenever possible.
