ASIAN INVASION, Y'ALL

sorry not sorry for the late post I’m just a really busy kid who’s running on some strange time zone

Being a Eurasian in an Asian country who visits the UK a lot really puts things into perspective. I am a fetish in Singapore, because apparently ‘Eurasian girls are so hot’. I’m too Asian for the UK, because I put red chili in my noodles, and I have ‘yellow’ skin.

I find people more often than not telling me how pretty I am for an Asian. As if being Asian makes me any less attractive. Accomplishments that my mother puts on her Facebook get toned down by her Caucasian co-workers with jokes about how it’s because I’m Asian, rather than the years of hard work I’ve put into achieving something.

I remember going to awards ceremonies with 90% of the kids being Asian, and the 10% of Caucasian kids are told by their parents that it’s okay that they got a 'lesser’ award, because it wasn’t fair that the other kids were Asians. Then I go onto college admissions websites in the UK and US and see that the admissions requirements for Asians are sometimes a lot higher than for the natives.

I hate the racism that I’ve faced for years. I hate turning on the tv to see an Asian woman cast as a side character who is only present to serve as a walking, talking encyclopedia. I hate going overseas and seeing groups of school boys pull down their eyes to imitate mine.

Guess what? I’m gorgeous as hell, for a PERSON. I have really beautiful eyes. I’m a hard worker because I have a goal in life, not because I’m Asian.

Put that in your juice box and suck on it.
