mmmm thanks for sharing. Their Black in Latin America series was outstanding. Can be found on YouTube if anyone is interested. I expect no less here.
I dunno man. I'm not white but I'm an American expat and I've definitely seen these behaviors personified and even in myself sometimes but that's hard to get on board with. Kind of weird to think of living in Asia as being a racist immigrant personally. But think what you want i guess
I'm Asian-American and I personally don't go to ERA to discuss Asian-American topics. Most of the time it's because there really just isn't enough traction from other members on any of those topics on here.
Do you think people are arguing against interracial marriage here?
The fact that Anglo-Saxons refer to themselves differently than how they refer to other ethnicities. More often than not, they enjoy being of a higher social status, strongly more accepted as "whites", and rarely commit to integrate; therefore they aren't "immigrants".
My name is Frank, I really hope that shit doesn't catch on.
Just don't present yourself as some kind of unimpeachable authority on your host country or try to use your experiences to put others down. Not trying to make these discussions about you is a good start.
Ya'll white people love to make every thread about yourselves don't you guys.
If you're aware that 'on paper' you're a Frank, use this as a learning opportunity. Being just aware isn't good enough. You can't control your gut response to an article like this and it makes sense that you're defensive, but a little bit of humility goes a long way. It's good that you're uncomfortable, this is what dismantling racism is going to look and feel like. Sit with this discomfort, get upset if you need to, but don't double down on it and dig your heels in.
Goddamn really slid in with the "won't somebody think of the white people" line.
Yeah same. I don't post a lot in the Asian community threads so it feels like I missed something.
Ha, that'd be hilarious. But of course not if they're international couples. Only way I could see this happen is they're both American and the wife/gf is very whitewashed. Of course the white people in that case would be offended -.-
Boohoohoo ;_;
