      what's SO grating about white ppl flexing their privilege in Asia is that us diaspora kids are so often second guessing ourselves there

      It's impossible to be AsAm and do the whole "back to the motherland" thing w/o having whiteness shoved down your throat at every turn

      And to go back & see how whiteness is exalted while 2nd-gen folks are treated with derision/suspicion is just...painful.

      There's some deep Orientalism & internalized racism involved in (white) Westerners living/teaching/traveling in Asia & being lauded for it

      Why is speaking English so coveted in East Asia? Why are white teachers so desired? Would-be "expats" should consider these structural Qs.

          My 9 year old banned that term from our household because she considers it racist.

          You could do a great analysis of these kinds of expat blogs.
