This Mobile, Alabama weather is WILD. Was pouring down raining and super cold an hour ago, now its tolerable outside with the sun slightly peaking out. A few degrees more and it’d be lukewarm.

Hahaha wtf. The weather here is like picking random select in a video game

We just roll with it. We trust weathermen as much as q anon trusts the govt. Just be prepared for anything. We can still get snow potentially right up until first week of May… It’s rare but it’s happened. Also our summers aren’t a joke either…we get 90-100 summers and people are always confused when they vacation here

Pretty sure Thanos is purple, but hey, ok!!

Lol

Asian Americans like me are fighting hate with tradition (Opinion) - CNN

In high school, I learned through the Internet about the myth Americans had been taught about people who looked like me – that we were the “model minority.” The term was coined in the 1960s by a White sociologist writing for The New York Times Magazine. He was trying to make the case that Asians were what Black people could be, if only they tried harder. Implicit in this generalization was that we were obedient and that we would not stir trouble, unlike what White America viewed as those other pesky minorities – which would grow to include Latinx and other minority groups.

Gross but predictable. This happened a lot last year in the Cop thread after the George Floyd murder “Why don’t they just go to school and not protest?”

Because I was not expected to speak out, I mostly avoided talking about how much racism hurt me. Whenever a professor confused me with the other Asian kid in class or a classmate mocked me by pulling their eyes back, I laughed it off, albeit awkwardly. I learned from other Asian-Americans that making fun of ourselves was not only the norm, but it was cool – calling it out would have relegated us to “uptight” status. But being the minority that was not allowed to have self-regard took a toll. It was like being in a purgatory where no one would take me seriously, even when I was no longer joking.

“Are you sure you heard her right?” a friend asked me after the incident outside of Target.

Our status as “good” minorities has always been a burden. But it has never felt as heavy as it does now, when we need the support of others and discover that we are unsure of how to speak about our own marginalization. If the task of our immigrant parents was to find a way to survive in the United States, then it is ours to speak into existence the things they left unsaid.

We need to acknowledge that the model minority status has silenced us, pitted us against other oppressed people and convinced us that we are no good when we are, for whatever the reason of the moment may be, no longer palatable. Unless we change the narrative, we will continue to be the biggest victims to the myth of our exceptionalism.
