This sort of racist anti-Asian linguistic mocking/mimicking is unacceptable in the playground, workplace, and at the academy. @PurdueNorthwest — You are injuring Asian and Asian American students, and attempting to humiliate their culture. You bring shame to your institution.

School pick-up in #Houten🇳🇱:
Toronto’s #Iranian community showing their strength today. The city is home to the 2nd largest Iranian diaspora in the world and you can see it today.
People are still pouring onto the grass from Yonge St in solidarity with #IranRevolution2022 & #Mahsa_Amini#مهسا_ایمنی

Raisi doesn’t show up to interview with CNN after Christiane Amanpour refuses to put on regime’s Hijab. Iran regime’s President seems to think he can impose the Hijab in NYC too. #MahsaAmini#مهساامینی
Never forget that glorifying resilience instead of dismantling the oppressive structures that force people to be resilient in the first place...is in itself, a form of oppression.
