I'm not going to die," she said. "Not till I've seen it."

"Seen what?"

WIP!

because people favor white history!

notre dame got immediate coverage and attention, even though notre dame will be okay. even though the art has been saved and spared, even though it has happened before and will happen again

when the national museum of brazil burned in september, there was hardly any coverage. even though the majority of what had taken hundreds of years to collect had burned. even though the national museum of brazil was home to art from pompeii and egypt as well.

am i saying that what has been burned and demolished at notre dame isnt devastating? no. absolutely not.

1. The notre-dame is more famous than brazils national musem

2. The notre-dame is a religious place, and people love religion

3. It happened in france which is not a third world country meaning more people are “interested in it” for lack of a better term.

They couldn’t “monetize their yellow fever” if their Korean boyfriends didn’t agree to be in their videos. Do you see any Asian men who are “victims” of yellow fever complain about it?

you know… with this rise in interest in east asian culture and “aesthetics” over the past couple of years also comes with a rise in asian cultural appropriation… so for every nonasian out there who would consider themselves a fan of cutesy asian things or stuff like kpop or anime, you guys have an obligation to people of the culture you’re enjoying to be informed and educated about their struggles. it’s not right to love and consume cultures that’s not your own while ignoring the people who are part of them. read up on appropriation, the fetishisation and infantilisation of east asian women and desexualisation of asian men, whitewashing in media, xenophobia, the erasure of our achievements and the model minority myth. you owe it to us east asians to be educated on topics that concern us if you’re going to continue to consume media and content we make.
