White privilege is white privilege. The fact that this is in Belgium and reported in a non English language is likely why this isn't blowing up.
Blowing up.

Pushing harmful policy in a polite fashion is not something worthy of admiration.Asians who hate Andrew yang will always get a side eye from me.
Regardless of what you think about his policy or his supporters he's always respectful and try to back up his claims with numbers. You may think he's naive in his way of thinking but the hate he garners from a lot of people are insane especially this forum. Really reaffirms my thoughts on "white liberals" and their wannabes.

The bar is undergroundNot sure how his policies are anymore harmful than a typical dem. Why? Cause his policies wasn't means regulate and full of identity politics?
He made ubi and the future problems of automation a national discussion. Thats more than most of these democratic candidates accomplished.
So ummm... I just learned that there's a term called "Jungle Asians" for Asians living in SEA. WTF? I mean, to me, jungle sounds nice, but somehow, there's probably a much more sinister and racist meaning behind it.
malaysians are now kampung asians. singaporeans can be bubble gum asians. the stereotyping will continue until morale improves
I've seen it kinda as a term of endearment among SE Asian Americans, different cultures finding commonality. Probably not right for others to label us as that though lolThat's me! The exclamation mark isn't excitement btw. But yeah that's been something to describe South East Asians for a while now. It's.... It's not good lol.
? i didn't make any reference to the virus. it's just generalised stereotyping lol
hell i think i first heard it on asian not asian. I kinda get it... it's fucking hot and sweaty back in malaysia... wasn't for many a year before I saw snow for the first time... but yeah its probably about 2 steps removed from 'savages'
Surprised you hadn't heard of it yet. Yeah, the "jungle Asian"/"fancy Asian" distinction has been around for a while, and it's racist and classist as shit.
Though as Dreezy said, I've seen some SEAs reclaim it in a sort of "badass jungle warriors" kind of way, which hey, more power to them!
Aren't we scheduled for a meeting with the mod team next month?
Mods can't seem to help other marginalized groups on this forum, so I'm very doubtful they'll be of much help to Asians here.The way things are right now with the state of things that have devolved even further for Asians out in the world and reflecting back into Era as well, a meeting needs to be fast tracked. But I don't know what's going on behind the scenes myself. I also have been too busy to hit up the discord too much, but unless things change drastically over here, I don't see why we'd really wanna jump back in.

Yeah I agree, I find it really hard to read the backlog on discord compared to here. But there are so many threads I actively avoid here right now. Sometimes I go in curious and then regret bothering. It's not good.Almost all of you guys have abandoned this thread for Discord 😭
I checked out Discord and found that I hate using Discord.
Can't you guys have your discussions here?

They won't try anything different. Look at the results from their other conversations so far. What's changed?Yeah, on second thought I think I agree with you, but since many, if not most of us are already out or at least not posting I don't know that I wouldn't mind mods trying something different in an attempt to improve anyway, regardless, unless that somehow makes things even worse

Racism's always relevantWho know making this thread and the OP almost three years ago would still be frightening relevant in 2020, perhaps even moreso than before.
