@RockLin5566@ubematchasiopao I don’t think ppl should be forced to not use an umbrella. 😭 The point is a call for self-reflection about why people are really doing it. In any case research shows umbrellas aren’t as useful as just sunscreen - they’re only 15% effective.
@Xarallei I understand that but as someone living in Asia who has spoken to the people who use umbrellas everywhere - the health/sun damage isn’t the reason. They’re pretty candid about telling you that they do it bc they don’t want to “look dark”. 😓
@actual_clara Fuck Asmongold but also fuck you for acting like you didn’t harass and hurt people here Clara. Just because roach man is an evil opportunistic bastard doesn’t mean you weren’t an evil opportunistic woman who abused people here.
@diwatangamihan@ubematchasiopao They are a part of the bigger issue lmao. Idk if you know this but you can make commentary on how large social issues contribute to small behaviours 🥴 but it’s a genshin fan at the scene of the crime again so unsurprising
@uniqueismjo@ubematchasiopao And yeah - like I totally understand the history of classism etc. but in modern times the context has also evolved and people need to understand that colourism today evolved from the classism of history but is now tied to ethnicity bc of modern politics!
@uniqueismjo@ubematchasiopao Oh I definitely don’t think it’s out of malice (explained it elsewhere) but a lot of them are just generally doing it bc of the skin colour thing. I teach a lot of East Asians in particular and have had most of them be very candid with me about it. Jdjfkgkg
@nxctemaeternae They are literally random people who have come from east Asia to Southeast Asia and are very candid about their beliefs. They aren’t my friends but I interact with them. Your personal bubble doesn’t erase others’ lived experiences.
@diwatangamihan@ubematchasiopao I know you’re not coming here as a Filipino and acting like colourism doesn’t exist when my dark skinned PH friends have to deal with their parents trying to buy them skin lighteners to bleach their skin.
@NemoEntropy@ubematchasiopao The way some of yall talk is like yall are vampires that will die from a modicum of sunlight. Sunscreen exists and is sth you should be wearing bc an umbrella won’t protect you from UV radiation adequately anyway 🥴 disingenuous
@onlybut_a_dream@ubematchasiopao If you think perceptions of skin colour in East Asia is removed from race then I have a bridge to sell you. But then a quick look at your profile shows you generally are just an actual racist so like lmfao
