    This is not it, Andrew. It shouldn’t be on Asians to prove we’re American by sacrifice. That hasn’t protected us before and won’t now. We prove we’re American by fighting things that should be un-American, like racism—and not just when it happens to us.https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/04/01/andrew-yang-coronavirus-discrimination/ …

        The idea that Asians can overcome racism by bending our heads and working harder—shrugging it off when it happens to us, ignoring it when it happens to others—is the main pillar of model minority myth, and it has been devastating for coalitions with Black Americans and other POC.https://twitter.com/originalspin/status/1245755094529765377 …

        I 100% agree with this point: It should not be on any minority to prove their American by sacrifice. But in the same breath, no community is going to get built with any parties standing around with their arms folded. It’s okay to lend yourself to a cause.

        100% agree. I get that it’s galling to have to compensate for other people’s ignorance by working harder than the average person to get in their good graces. Unfortunately it’s also the only thing that has ever worked for me from firsthand experience.

        Funny how me being an Italian American I haven’t experienced a tenth of the discrimination Asian Americans have dealt with even though their cases outnumber chinas. Hmm I wonder why 🤔🤔🤔
