1. There are two fundamentally divergent ways to interpret the triumph of Asians and Asian-Americans at the #Oscars in 2023, not in terms of racial relations in this country, on which I’m sure many people will comment, but in terms of #HongKong’s fight for democracy and autonomy.

Petition to suspend the Ethnic Integration Programme in certain areas so that Chinese people won’t have to go overseas to experience what it feels like to be a minority. They can just spend time in Malay Tampines or Indian Admiralty.

[Alfian Sa'at @alfian77]

@medium1ebowski Yea because sometimes you need that kind of thing to see the Chinese supremacy in your own backyard because the empathy tank is just 1/4 full

[Alfian Sa'at @alfian77]

“Chinese privilege doesn’t exist because the Chinese-educated faced discrimination” is the race version of “male privilege doesn’t exist because there’s NS”.

Chinese uncle beside me is listening to CECA debate on his phone out loud without his earphones. I don’t know which is worse, this or the time a taxi uncle told me Ho Ching will be SG’s next president. Can I travel around this island in peace pls FML.

@Hartonope Heya can you drop me a line on tele at @ alfiansaat I can get a seat for you for our full dress rehearsal if you’d like to watch 😁

[Alfian Sa'at @alfian77]

@kyatosa @asianfemifesto @esky41y @stephdogfoot But I admit this could be a mistaken assumption. I also honestly didn’t think saying “know your history” or “do some research” was vicious. Maybe it was snarky, but it didn’t go anywhere close to the tone in TBC’s post.

[Alfian Sa'at @alfian77]

@kyatosa @asianfemifesto @esky41y @stephdogfoot When my post was taken down, that was the moment when I thought—I’m not dealing with a bunch of people who have very little power. Apparently they have clout and can mobilise their followers. So the power imbalance really didn’t come to mind.
