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.

Dude. Your faux benevolence and complete inability to even attempt self reflection is truly astounding. For a moment, just a moment, consider what life might be like for a non-white migrant. Think about the difficulty of documentation in that circumstance.

Yes that's kind of what I was saying. My son and his mother were non-white migrants when they came to the UK. It indeed difficult to obtain documents, more so because he could not automatically claim citizenship thru me
