(screenshot from friend’s ig story) wanted to say this tweet isn’t about the battle of who’s the “strongest”. it’s a critique in how the patriarchy is unsustainable — for all genders. especially for daughters who are often tasked to carry the trauma & unpack everyone’s emotions

there are many things that separate us from east asians, but this is NOT one of them. we arent above this criticism. we know dam well, & have to b honest, that many of our people are apolitical & turn the other cheek. we are capable of it & we see it in our families & communities

but ofc there are factors that make us apolitical in contrast to other asians - like social class, immigration patterns (esp majority being of the more recent wave (esp between 80s-90s)), & hella of us purposefully being placed in hoods upon settling/seeking refuge. to name a few

yall forget that seasoning can come from the freshness of foods, whether it be crops, meat, or seafood. social media has made yall think just because something doesnt have pounds of grained seasoning means it has no flavor. sometimes the taste comes from the garlic, onions, etc.
