1. What's stopping schools, teachers, professors, and school boards from showing the @PBS #AsianAmericans series?
2. What's stopping us from watching this at home?
3. If not us, who will teach Asian Americans #AsianAmericanHistory?

Sadly, some people are a little inept at social interactions.

The most interesting results come from challenges.

It's important to be told clearly once.

#TreseNetflix is so much better in Tagalog!!! #TreseOnNetflix is getting realllllly good. It's unfortunate that it is only 6 episode.

@netflix @NetflixFilm Good job on the Tagalog dubbing.

Manners... NOT so common.

... WHO raised you?!

Some people need to #Google what manners are and how to apply it in their daily lives.

Awareness is not enough...

Inaction is the same as being unaware.

@minjinlee11 ... free anything!!!

Millionaires "swag bags" at social events- galas, balls, etc. are valued more than some people's annual salary.

People say they want to know the truth...

Until they actually hear it.

Lesson: It's not up to you to tell people THEIR truth. It's up to you know YOURS.

The term People Of Color (POC) was created and given to us BY white supremacism.

MLK, Jr. coined, "Citizens of Color," yet it wasn't used then and not used today.

POC is used to shame and keep us oppressed by white supremacists.

Culture is taught & learned, not innate.

The duality of living 2 separate cultures in America.

The expectation to be 💯Filipino failing to teach me cultural norms.

The expectation to be 💯American while rejecting me & treating me as a perpetual foreigner.

[Filipina Grit 🇵🇭🌺🇺🇲 @FilipinaGrit]

Let's face it... Sometimes the most toxic people are the ones in one's own family and closest friendships.

These are the most damaging people.

The betrayal. The disillusionment. The disheartened.

Toxic people are just that. Toxic.

[Filipina Grit 🇵🇭🌺🇺🇲 @FilipinaGrit]

How megalomaniac of you to "know" all about my immigrant Filipina-American experience.

In celebration my kapatids' and their own stories.

@cmliwagdixon Exactly!

It's ALSO an opportunity to give ourselves a friendly reminder of our own heritage, of how we got here, of what previous generations endured for us today.

[Filipina Grit 🇵🇭🌺🇺🇲 @FilipinaGrit]

Change isn't something to be feared... It's as if people think they will die if they change.

However, change is when you thrive!

Grow new leaves, grow longer roots, grow taller towards the sun.

Whoever denies the #BambooCeiling exist isn't ambitious enough to climb up to C-Suite Level OR is in an industry that only the "old boy network" dominate.

If you don't know, then you too are excluded.
