  6. I saw how boys were allowed to take up space, while girls were taught to shrink, to smile and to stay small. So I used to think maybe if I were a boy, it would all make sense and maybe I would finally feel right.

  11. Downtown #VictoriaBC will be filled with music, colour and tradition on April 11 as the Victoria #BengaliCulturalSociety hosts its first outdoor celebration of #PohelaBoishakh - the #Bengali #NewYear. The #FreeEvent, set for #CentennialSquare at noon, marks a milestone for the local Bengali community, bringing one of its most recognized #cultural traditions into the public square. For the first time in Victoria, organizers will stage the #MongolShobhajatra -a “parade of well-being” recognized by #UNESCO. The procession will feature large, handcrafted masks and vibrant artistic structures, accompanied by drumming and music symbolizing #peace and #unity.

    The parade is expected to begin around 1 p.m. The celebration will also include live Bengali music and dance performances, a food fair showcasing #SouthAsian cuisine, and vendor stalls offering traditional clothing and handmade goods. Organizers say the event is meant to highlight the #diversity of #cultures on #VancouverIsland while offering residents a chance to engage with Bengali traditions.

  21. ⬆️ Institutional #racism in #US is not limited to #black people.

    'That #SouthAsian Americans were able to successfully naturalize was an anomaly. Other #Asian immigrants had already been barred from naturalized #citizenship on the grounds that they were not #white as required by the nation’s naturalization laws dating back to 1790. It would not be until the #SupremeCourt ruled in the #Thind decision, on February 19, 1923, that South Asians were not considered "white”'
