For those that don't know, I'm half-Chinese. My brother looks considerably more Chinese than I do; I pretty much got everything from my dad, aside from brown (instead of blonde) hair. Pretty much nobody would even guess I'm half-Asian based on my looks.
But my brother has dealt with discrimination his whole life, and it's really starting to get to me because he always passes it off as "no big deal."
Except it is. It's a huge deal. It's NOT cool that people say shit like "I bet you play piano all the time" or "go back to where you came from." Particularly because I'm literally the same amount of Chinese as he is, yet they let me off the hook solely because of looks. He doesn't deserve it - we are born and raised here in the United States. We're Americans. The fact that I had to comfort my mother every time Trump and his supporters called COVID19 the "Chinese Virus," which resulted in passive-aggressive treatment from the conservatives in her neighborhood, is just distressing.
I'm in a very unique situation as someone who would be called a "white person" by a passerby, but I live in a Chinese family and I know our customs and lifestyle. I know how we're judged, and how we're portrayed by the media. Yet I also know what it's like to not be on the receiving end of those judgments. And it's wrong. It's ****ing ridiculous, Republicans. Grow the fuck up.
your peor made me think you look like Kristin Kreuk
I am sorry youre going through this, and that your family is going through this. Hopefully the country can grow from this and come out more tolerant :(
