Genuinely kept reading people saying โoh black people canโt be racistโ, โoh poc canโt be racistโ like shut the fuck up. There cannot be a single person in the world who isnโt even the slightest racist. As an Asian person, obviously I want to believe Iโm not racist but because there are views in the world I canโt understand yet, i wonโt be able to be as empathetic towards it. However, what matters is the fact that I keep trying to learn with good people around me guiding me without immediately accusing me of being a terrible person for not knowing. You can be that person. You can guide people who doesnโt understand that point of view instead of screaming at their faces calling them a racist or throwing slurs at them. Seriously though, who would want to listen and learn to โcriticismโ when itโs just insults and belittling for something you have no idea of. As people who are apart of the art community, I was hoping you out of everyone else would be more empathetic and guiding than anyone else. Iโm absolutely disappointed.
This is a bit corny to say but Addy is the best thing to ever happen to me. Iโm so glad I was able to meet her. I love how she listens and remembers even the smallest details of our conversations even from 5 years ago.
