Hey my dudes! Please stop asking women for statistics and proof that gender bias exists. It sounds reasonable to politely ask for evidence... I used to think the same! Let me explain why it's a little more complicated than 'just asking questions'.
I'm privileged to have access to a lot of support but I'm still getting past the trauma of knowing that we still have to remind people that anti-Asian racism exists. The fear I & so many others feel every day should be proof enough.
Hi, I don’t like talking about personal stuff here, but in light of anti-Asian violence in my native ATL, I want to share my experience of being assaulted by a group of strangers a block from my NYC apt in 2018, to shed light on how real anti-Asian hate is and always has been.
I hope awareness of anti asian racism continues. I’ve found it my calling to write soulful Asian characters, partly to make it that much harder to dismiss or ignore real Asians' dreams and concerns. And fighting anti Asian hate is inextricably linked to BLM, never at odds.
