  • I hope this means less Sinophonia and not copying the government’s authoritarianism lol

    I wanna highlight this:

    “Appreciation does not erase the racism that many Chinese people grew up with,” said Elise Zeng, 28, from Brooklyn, New York. A video she posted critiquing the social media phenomenon was liked by more than 36,000 people.

    She recalls how during the COVID-19 pandemic she was afraid for her parents stepping out of the house because they heard about people getting attacked just walking down the street. At the time, many Asians reported being assaulted or verbally abused by people who blamed East Asians for the spread of the virus.

    “Those experiences don’t just disappear because Chinese culture is suddenly cool and trendy,” she said.

    I really hope my future children can go through school in the west without ever being called “ching chong” or kids do the racist “pull their eyes back” bullshit…

    But like… the reality is: Obama being president for 8 years didn’t prevent George Floyd from getting murdered by a white cop.





  • Okay I know this is c/greentext and its not a serious comm, still just wanna infodump lol:

    So… in 1st grade I was in China…

    I remember them doing National Anthem… very similar to the US lol (as in the ritual, not the melody lol)

    They use rulers to hit kids lol… 😭

    I lucked out because my family emigrated…

    Forgot if I ever got hit by a teacher… if I did, I must’ve deleted that memory since it sounds kinda traumatizing…

    And they made us RECITE AN ENTIRE STORY! (Children’s story, but still) They made us stay afterschool for that 😭

    I STILL REMEMBER the 9x9 times table “poem” thingy from first grade, it’s forever burned into my head (okay this might be 2nd grade tbf, forgot when I learned it exactly)

    Article I found: https://yoyochinese.com/blog/Learn-Chinese-Multiplication-Rhyme-Time-Tables)

    Oh yes I can sing the Chinese national anthem¹ + the American one too…

    they played it too much the melody is forever stored in my hippocampus

    (¹Okay I might have looked up the exact lyrics later on as a teen…)

    And if I sing both, I get both sides to hate me… xD

    I feel like that kindergarden, 1st, 2nd grade… just those few years of school there makes me very distinct from ABCs (American-Born Chinese).
