love posts that talk about anti-asian racism <333 love how they treat east asians as the only asians that exist <33

it really is something else to grow up afraid to eat mom’s food at school or wear a bindi or mehendi outside or wear a lehenga or sari or chudidhar for parties or speak in my mother tongue...like that was my entire childhood and its still my life. but then you turn around and see white people go to indian restaurants and saying omg i love indian food, or seeing them wear bindis and henna and saris and talk about being “cultured”. and using our languages as their aesthetic, or using them as some sort of godly symbol. growing up a poc in a western world really fucks you up and somehow it’s still our job to educate white people when they’ve spent their entire lives putting us down and stealing our lives.

thinking about the time someone i vaguely knew messaged me over discord asking if i could vc them bc they were feeling like shit and needed to just talk and i was like yeah ok. so they called me and i picked up but i heard absolutely nothing ?? and then ten minutes later the call ended and they were like thank you so much for listening to me i really needed that <3 i was like what. um. ok. except all i said was like ya ofc and then afterwards i realized that i’d plugged in my headphones to the wrong port

why is it called “mango”? what about women? it should be “womango” this is why we need feminism
