#racismstudies — Public Fediverse posts

A series exploring how the rise of #fetishization of #EastAsian #culture, specifically in terms of #appropriation & #stereotyping, across #MSM & within #WesternCivilizations has impacted the modern #AsianAmerican’s experiences.

When considering the audience, it’s no surprise that many within the #WhiteMajority of #NorthAmerica, lack the necessary #education when investing in the appropriation of #POC lifestyles.

[This article is the first of a multi-part series where I will be investigating the collision of #Asian and #Western societies throughout time and how this has created #fetishizations of Asian culture that have shaped the West. Although this is a very narrow slice of #cultural collisions, the lessons and points drawn affect everyone, not just Asians or western society. ]

#AltRight’s #AsianFetish

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.

[Lots of other white men, including some of my husband’s #journalism colleagues, were quick to comment that we shouldn’t jump to conclusions. Well, that’s bullshit. Even for people who did recognize the shootings as an act of #racism, I had to explain to them that it’s not just racism. It’s a #racialized #misogyny that’s very, very specific to #AsianWomen. ]
