      Why do Asian American women who make repping Asians the central thing in their lives -- @pronounced_ing @cassielam -- go out of their way to tweet stuff like this? It's like there's some selective filter for women like this.pic.twitter.com/CzFzNW4rq0

      Hi John and Mont, I'm sorry on behalf of those who hurt you and agreed that there's a lot of work to be done. I will personally signal boost a lot of what you guys have been raising publicly on my profile soon. Would like to add my support for Asian men to the larger convo <3

      Hi John and Mont, I don’t think that saying I personally don’t find Asian men attractive is calling Asian men evil. But I see your point, and apologize. I try to signal boost those whose voices have been silenced, and will keep doing so—being even more mindful of this going fwd.

          I don't find this infuriating, I find it consistent with a gender/racial politics surrounding the white man/asian woman connection, and it's high time asian women talked more openly about it.

          No you dont seem to get it if you think we are equating it with calling asian men "evil". Please read how your children would interpret your statement and see it from their perspective (instead of writing them off as "trolls")https://www.reddit.com/r/hapas/comments/83y0uc/celeste_i_do_not_often_find_asian_men_attractive/ …

          how are we suppose to be proud of being asian when we have self hating asian mothers who denigerate the entire half of their race to appeal to white men? It's not about who your dating, but the ppl you put down to justify it. You are another @AmyTan

          Also your statement is problematic because you are appealing to white supremacy narratives that try to dehumanize Asians as "all looking alike" "having no individuality"

          You pretend to be blind to the fact that you are essentially Amy Tan reincarnate, and that your success was because you parrot white America's narratives of Asian men being more oppressive than white ppl (implied) to soothe white male egos. Nvm the female Asian presidents.

          Nvm the opportunities and high percentages of Asian women in business not just in China, but in the states. The fact that @YouTube discriminates against BOTH white and Asian men implies that y'all see Asian men as akin to white men in terms of privilege. L.O.L

          Asian women oftentimes feel a jealousy towards White women for their status and appearance, whereby Asian women will date any White male that they can find – meaning that they subject themselves to violence.

          I run into this problem often on dating sites. Asian women with similar interests, hobbies, etc. only to read the last line of their profile: Caucasian men only. I don't know how one or a few people can ruin everything for other Asian men.

          This apology is insincere. I'm not sure if reading is your forte, but he did not equate your comment to calling Asian men evil. Your comment is a sign of self-hate. If you feel Asian men are not attractive, then you must feel Asian women are not attractive either. We are linked.

          Why are asian feminist the only WoC to vocally express their disdain for their male counterparts and sucumb to white male supremacy? This is why other PoC don't take asian feminism seriously

          Yeah.. no one's getting any hopes up that you'll be more "mindful". LOL. Just be honest and keep hating Asian men as you've been doing. Be what Asian feminists have always failed to be: honest and transparent. Don't lie to us, you so-called "representative" (hah, what a farce).

          Hey http://celeste.do  you realize how unnecessarily racist your statement on Asian men is? Do you ever hear a white guy say "oh yeah white women remind me of my sisters, that's why I don't date them" or any other race saying that in particular? No other race says this shit.
