  24. "Chinese and Indigenous communities have shared histories. We faced hardships together while mining for gold in the British Columbia gold rush and experiencing the rugged Canadian weather and terrain.

    There are many graves on First Nations territories when Chinese people died from the flu and from the building of the railway, crushed by landslides, collapsing tunnels and premature blastings (Mittelstedt, 2014). The First Nations communities took in the Chinese railroad workers and care for their grave sites to this day (Mittelstedt, 2014). We enjoyed economic success and partnerships that were respectful and mutually beneficial (Ma, 2012). Chinese people leased lands (on First Nations) to farm and then hired Indigenous people to help farm the land (Mathur et al., 2011, p. 74). The Chinese built elaborate gold-mining operations among First Nations communities and perhaps most importantly our communities intermingled and there were many marriages between Chinese men and Indigenous women. In 1891, 98% of Chinese people in Canada lived in British Columbia (Barman, 2013, p. 1), which explains why there are such intimate ties between Chinese people and our First Nations communities in British Columbia. Unsurprisingly, one in six Chinese men created a family with a local Indigenous woman (Barman, 2013, p. 1)."

  34. It took 14 years, but British Labour was finally elected. What took them so long?
    By Matt Bevan and Yasmin Parry

    During their time in office, the UK Conservative Party was chaotic, inept and hubristic. But, if they were bad, the Labour Party's infighting might have been even worse.

  36. Originating from tales of #Japanese & #Vietnamese prostitutes seducing US soldiers during #WW2 & the #VietnamWar, it is the fantasy that #AsianWomen are quiet, submissive, yet sexually promiscuous. In short, a #misogynist’s wet dream.

    This idea that #AsianWomen would gracefully embrace male dominance whilst being an exotic sex toy spread like an epidemic, hence the name #YellowFever.

    The #WhiteSupremacists on the #FarRight have #YellowFever — an #AsianWoman fetish. It’s a confusing mix.

    The #ModelMinorityMyth exists alongside another dangerous & limiting idea — one that is consistent with the alt-right’s #misogyny & core #AntiFeminist values. The main problem with white women, as many alt-right #AsianFetishists have noted, is they’ve become too #feminist.

    Just like it's not POC's jobs to deal with white #racists - it's the responsibilities of white folks to deal with problematic bigots in their own communities.
