I should really edit those pictures from that day at the park…… but my camera is so far away. Problems.
The classic doll color test performed with a white child, complete with the parent’s
excusesreactionsThe little girl even says she picked the white figures as the good child because it “looks like me” and the dark girl as bad because “she’s dark”. When Soledad O’Brien asks the girl’s mother about it, we’re met with quite a few colorblind based excuses and “well, we just don’t talk about race”.
“We don’t talk about race!!”
And your kid is saying racist shit regardless.
That should fucking tell you something, lady.
But of course, it won’t. I bet you cash money she won’t change a thing, continuing to use that color blind bullshit.
So what are J and I doing this particular night?
Doing boss runs, and then maybe we’ll try working towards some titles… because we want to be *~cool~*.
If I ever tell you I’m going to sleep and then you see me posting or liking things online for about an hour immediately after that, I promise I wasn’t lying to you, I’m just bad at going to sleep and it is usually a long process that begins with disengaging from any sort of immediate contact with people (chats, for example) and ends when everything on my screen is blurry and I’m hallucinating plot points I haven’t written yet
Fuck keeping quiet and “ignoring” shitty white people who do shitty things. There is no such thing as ignoring it, because it’s just there, you know? It’s always been there, and people have always gotten away with it because no one ever calls them out on it (and when they do, they get their feelings invalidated, but that’s a whole other topic for another day). I spent the past 23 or so years keeping quiet and worrying about the feelings of white people (and men too, but, again, another post for another day), and I was miserable as fuck. I’m done being miserable, I’m done letting people walk all over me and my culture, I’m done being a submissive quiet Chinese girl who can’t stand up for herself. If people are going to say ignorant things about something I care about, then you bet your ass I’m going to be calling them out on that shit.
