i grew up in the US watching a ton of TV with almost exclusively white characters esp. in romantic situations so i feel like my archetypes for both the sort of person i was supposed to be and the sort of person i was supposed to want were white (among other things)

fascinating to read this conversation from Singapore where for the most part people who look like QC are at the top of the social order (white privilege does also exist but they’re like a rounding error in the bigger picture context)

i met a couple asian dudes from singapore at burning man and it was a revelation. they were strong and embodied and confident and sexy in a way i’ve almost never seen in asian-americans. maybe one asian-american dude i can think of off the top of my head
