unimpressed
2013-09-23
with seeing an Asian woman (sorry… yellow female) sort of dismissively ‘recognize’ that anti-Blackness is real while also appropriating AAVE
but it was one of those rhetorical sleights of hand whereby while mocking others for their ‘consciousness’ or whatever the fuck, makes sure to mention anti-Blackness so that we know that she is conscious
even as she dismisses her own complicity in it
can mark herself as ‘cis’
but uncritically goes around using yellow ‘female’ or yellow ‘males’
claims to include all asians like SEAsians (so allegedly me)
despite reifying a white system for reducing gender to a sex binary
whereby ladyboys like me are erased
u can call me tita tan if u want1
