If you want to follow, understand that this blog is not actually for you. This is our space to talk about issues that affect us as Asian girls, Asian women, and Asian non-binary people. Feel free to reblog submissions and posts unless the OP tags it as “do not reblog,” but keep your comments/observations/theories to yourself.

Understand that there are so many spaces that cater to the experiences and opinions of white people. These are spaces where we are often spoken over or spoken for by white people and we don’t need that happening here.

Understand that we do not believe in reverse-racism and that white supremacy is very much alive and affects the lives of Asian women all over the world.

Understand that even if you insist that you are “one of the good, non-racist” white people, you still benefit from white supremacy and white privilege.

“White Privilege is the other side of racism. Unless we name it, we are in danger of wallowing in guilt or moral outrage with no idea of how to move beyond them. It is often easier to deplore racism and its effects than to take responsibility for the privileges some of us receive as a result of it… once we understand how white privilege operates, we can begin addressing it on an individual and institutional basis.” ~Paula Rothenberg
