This is a coat my Mom gave me when I was in college. It’s a very Chinese coat. I told her I could not wear it because people would make fun of me, and I’d be embarrassed. I could see the look of devastation on my Mom’s face when I said that to her. #AsianAugustpic.twitter.com/Cby5G2Uxzc
POC have to deal with even to this day. I still couldn’t really wear this outside without people thinking I’m a FOB or looking at me funny. And even if MOST people wouldn’t care at all, it only takes one or two people to say something to make us stop. It’s doesn’t feel worth it.
Those that keep saying I shoulda just rocked it have to understand the struggles of an Asian American growing up with no identity. It’s not easy being shamed and othered and just brush it off. Media makes Asians “strange” and “exotic” so these things couldn’t be normal.
Obviously with more awareness nowadays, it’s easy to say the coat looks good now (also helps that I make everything look good 
). But believe me, a couple of decades ago this was not an option. I grew up as only one of a handful of Asians, so the mindset was already burned in.
Minorities will always be discriminated on, because humans are evil. It’s not limited to any race or belief. I get ostracized walking down my own street just because I’m white. I don’t think it’s worth living in fear. Wear the coat, it looks cool.
this aint it
a fob?
Looked it up found Fresh off the boat
I definitely used to have a similar jacket. That idea of being too asian definitely bled into other aspects of my fashion too. Like literally the outfit I wore to the movie, I took a second and said "too asian", but Constance rocks it in the film.https://twitter.com/JasonZil/status/1031265574318424066 …
That's normal and even inevtiable with a country made of people from other countries. More so in coast cities. I think the coat looks great. When I was younger, I wanted one for myself haha.
