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.

ALSO - consider the power dynamics here. In your travels were you a besieged minority?

I was a minority who was discriminated against on the basis of my ethnicity and lack of status as a citizen despite living and working for 18m in the country. I didn't see myself as besieged tho, but neither I expect did the author of the article.

You weren't a minority in the same way WOC are minorities here & you know it. You did not experience discrimination - you can't deny this concept throughout my thread & invoke it now as a cloak for your bigotry You were a visitor not a migrant. You wouldn't qualify for a visa

Well when my son was born in Saigon they refused to acknowledge me as father on the birth certificate bc his mother & I were not married & I was not ethnic Vietnamese. This had material effects like delays and difficulties in obtaining docs regarding his status in UK yrs later

There's that phrase again, "material effects." It only took 4 hours, but there it is - your sense of justification for spewing racism towards an Asian woman. "Difficulty obtaining docs"
Congrats on playing racism bingo. Might want to get that White supremacy in check

That tweet probably doesn't make you look very good. I haven't screenshot it so you could delete it if you've realised this and would like to just forget you ever wrote it.

Instead of quitting the various times you recognised you were out of your depth, here you are again, repeating the same racist diatribe. Poor, sad, Gideon Moss. Feeling very put off by WOC, can't get a win, yet somehow incapable of extricating yourself from my thread & my MTs.
