so like…white people and Non-Asian POC will reblog picture after picture of random Japanese food and alleyways and water bottles and stick thin pale-skinned Asian girls in schoolgirl outfits and streetwear…but don’t speak up against Anti-Asian prejudice and even include us in any discourse about...

Today at work a four year old Japanese girl walked up to me, stroked my skirt, and softly whispered “kawaii.”
I feel like my life is complete.
you are the most blessed person i have ever spoken to.
when you say “asian people are so cute!!”
• you are being racist
• you are most likely excluding non-East Asians from this statement (aka you’re ignoring southeast, west, central, north, and south asians)
• you’re fetishizing our whole entire race (see bullet point #1)
• you’re not “appreciating asian culture”
• you’re not complimenting us
• you’re being gross and probably cant even name 5 countries in asia tbh
• see bullet point #1 again
some things i’d like to note:
1. the only people who have gotten angry at me (an asian) for this post were all non-asian. if that doesn’t speak volumes..
2. the original post’s meaning does NOT refer to thinking asian people are attractive or calling an asian person cute as an individual.
3. the point of the op was targeting issues with asian fetishization/dehumanization through weeaboos and koreaboos who think of asians as cute fluffy idols and anime characters and not human beings
^^^ this needs to be reblogged with the notes bc angry non-asians are still not getting this lol
‘Many of the books that did feature Asian children were centered around cultural themes like Chinatown, Chinese New Year, or Chinese characters—which was great, but I was really looking for books that followed just the story about a really cool and awesome child that just happened to be Asian,’ Zhang explained in a video about his project.

- INTERVIEWER: Like what?
- JESSE EISENBERG: I get called Napoleon Dynamite because I have curly hair. I live in New York City and I ride a bicycle. I always bike down 9th Avenue and there’s this kid who goes to school there named Abraham. Every time I pass him, he calls me Napoleon Dynamite. He screams it out and his friends laugh. That was a fine movie but I wasn’t in it.
- INTERVIEWER: What do you say back?
- JESSE EISENBERG: I say, “Please Abraham, I’m not that man.”
