Stay angry #WOC. "The problem is that I keep generating [anger] because the onslaught of racism and sexism I face as an Asian Australian woman, both overt and underhanded displays of it, is endless." http://peril.com.au/topics/red-hot-anger/ … via @perilmag

Anger "mobilises me to keep trying and continue making work that demands equity. Because at the end of the day, the people who will enact change for women of colour is women of colour. We have to be our own champions. We can’t afford not to be angry."

What in that article suggested any kind of discrimination had taken place that had materially affected the author and would indicate a need to fight for equity?

Wow. A White man who doesn't use Twitter with his real name demands
#WoC explain racial & gender discrimination further, even after skimmimg tweets about an article by a WoC covering these very issues. You're following me. I tweet about these issues daily. You'll learn so much!pic.twitter.com/3BlVT12jkD3 replies 0 retweets 20 likes -

Not Materially affected? I mean...what you are saying...is that a constant onslaught of racism and sexism that takes a legitimate toll on someone’s psyche to the point that they fear wearing certain colors and fear dating and fear interactions in the workplace...doesn’t matter?

When she was a kid on the way to school she had kids shouting "China" and "Go home"? While unpleasant this doesn't seem anything more than the usual kind of kind of name calling. Most of us have been physically attacked by bullies at some point as kids.

That was some swift skim reading, Gideon Moss, are you sure you should be extending yourself by typing, having cherry picked one example of many, illustrating the very point you seem curiously unable to grasp? Suggest you lie down & conserve energy. This won't go well for you.

Well I tried to pick the most egregious. The other kids saying she had soft skin and touching her hair didn't sound malevolent. Complaining the boys didn't come on to her sexually is rather bizarre when to do so would probably elicit accusations of harassment..

Poor little Gideon Moss. Befuddled by racism & sexism - but wanting a say all the same. Being touched as a sexual oddity is sexual harassment & Orientalism. (Read Said) The article also details being sexually exocitised. That is sexual racism. You do need a lie down after all.

Well I didnt consider it sexual harassment when in se Asia people wanted to touch my hairy arms. It was irritating and took a while to get used to the lack of any concept of personal space but it wasnt malevolent.

I know you're not comparing a few incidents of your "hairy arms" in a temporary setting to a lifetime of harassment & discrimination faced by #WOC. Doesn't sound like the facetious Gideon Moss who's been monopolising a thread about WOC for an hour.
Oh wait. It's very Gideon Moss

Good, because if you believed I was, you would be making assumptions again far beyond the information you have. I had no intention of monopolising an entire thread. I thought I was being owned.

There he is again,
#GideonMossing his own replies- you've just been repeating the same phrases thinking it makes you sound superior. It doesn't. White men are used to being told their mediocrity is special. It isn't. We'll hold a candlelit vigil for your dignity, Gideon Moss
