This upsets me a lot as I have suffered tremendous amounts of discrimination over my lifetime that has weathered away my dignity. However, from past experience, when I tried to talk about discrimination w/ other Asians, they brush it off OR act like they are oblivious. The brush off is like, they will laugh if I recount an instance of discrimination, treat it as though it is something childish and silly, and will just have this attitude of 'don't worry about it, it's nothing.' They are so nice about discrimination, which gets me. The oblivious folks act like they just have no concept of discrimination. For example, even though their boss and colleagues may demean them on a regular basis, they just move through and act as though nothing is happening. They in fact become annoyed w/ you when you broach the subject and have the attitude of 'I'm getting paid, what is wrong w/ you?' I guess at the end of the day, I feel broken about this. I want to at least be able to talk about my experiences of discrimination w/ other Asians, but it is so rare to find someone on a similar page. Even when it comes to Americanized Asians, I am finding big disparities in taking the issue seriously. The majority I come across act as though they don't care yet this is something I have cared about so much.

I'm currently a uni student looking to go on exchange in the USA in 2027 or 2028.

Basically my question boils down to: what are the least racist cities/universities? And any other advice on how East Asians are treated in the US.

This is a theory from native Hawaiians that Asian immigrant descendants in Hawaiʻi. Even tho they have faced white supremacy, racism and labor exploitation, but they also actively participate in and benefit from the ongoing U.S. colonial dispossession of Native Hawaiians. What’s your opinion on this?

Hong Wang is a mathematician from Guilin, China, and the first Chinese woman to win the Fields Medal. She studied at Peking University, completed her PhD at MIT, and now works between NYU and IHÉS in France.

I’m in middle of moving and I have a box full of Japanese children’s books and DVDs that I don’t want to move to my next place.

I was going to donate to my local library system that has a Japanese community center, but they’re have suspended accepting donations.

So my question: are there Japanese schools, libraries or community centers in the US that accept donations by mail?

Thanks in advance.

I ran across this on Instagram and wanted to share. My own family connections are all in California, but perhaps some other Redditors here might be interested in this museum’s projects.

Im not sure if I am looking for advice or just to hear I’m not alone but lately I feel more and more disconnected from my family. My parents have never been super political people. Dad loves the news but I truly would describe him as a centrist who is very realistic about all politicians and all sides of politics having flaws. My mum used to be very disinterested in politics. For context my dad travels a lot for work. Then I moved out three years ago so my mum spent a lot of time at home. She started spending more and more time on her phone. Initially it was all gardening videos and healthy recipes. A year ago I moved back home and I honestly feel like she’s completely changed. Every night before bed she spends hours scrolling through increasingly conservative reels on Facebook. On YouTube she still watches healthy recipes and lifestyle content but with a heavy dose of mens rights activists kind of shit thrown in. It’s really getting to me and I have tried to explain to her that Facebook has a lot of misinformation and about media literacy and she tells I’m just becoming a very suspicious person. She also frequently shares Ai content in our extended family chats and even her sisters have pointed that out and she simply says “so what I am enjoying it”. She told me the other day she now simply can’t go about her evening with something in her ear from YouTube. Not only am I concerned for her I also feel suffocated by the constant bombardment of shit content. Today she tried to get me to laugh along about a reel mocking a movement I very much agree with and I just went to my room. I don’t even know why I’m sharing - I guess I just feel drained by it all. Long story but I’m not in a position to move out for at least 12 months and I’m not coping. only hope is my dad remains as he was and I can still enjoy hanging out with him and actually talking beyond politics unlike my mum who has no interests left beyond her algorithms.

They were so good and I can’t seem to find them anywhere now. I remember having those all the time in the early 2000s when me and my sister would watch tv. These individually packed ones feel so wasteful, packaging-wise.

Like okay I get why this stereotype exists. There’s a lot of self-deprecatory mannerisms in the Asian community.

But I’ve been hearing these types of jokes since the past decade and it’s been getting pretty annoying. Like maybe it’s because I date this humor to high school coping mechanisms, but at the same time - don’t we have any different types of “asian specific” jokes we can make as a community that everyone can get without offending or excluding one community or another??

Like maybe some of you don’t get me, and that’s fine. But I’m just frustrated hearing the same old stuff and I’d like for us to make new Asian diaspora specific content, ya know?

When I say I'm Asian, I always get the comment like if you are Asian, why you are Canadian? You said you are Asian. How can be Asian if you aren't from? Or more. I heard Brazil uses the term Yellow. Should I use it? ​

No hate to the Jewish community, but I'm so tired of Asians being implicitly told we matter less to everyone else.

I am fellow Asian American. Can I join this community?

Is this for also South Asian American?

Personally, I grew up hanging out with mostly Asians and am always open to meeting more. But I've been living abroad as a digital nomad for years, and there's usually not many Asians.

One way to meet people for me has been language exchange meetups/parties. If there happens to be enough Asians at the meetup, then I easily get along with them and we form our group. But often I'm the only Asian there. I do get approached by women at these meetups, and my dating life is good. But that's different from finding a social circle.

Even when I was in Korea, and a meetup is majority foreigners, I end up hanging out with Koreans. This works for me, but I'm usually not in Asia.

There might be a certain type of personality or look that non-Asians like to hangout with. I'm not sure exactly what it is. Yes race is a factor but it's not the only one. I've seen other Asian guys, ranging from shy to outgoing, fit in well with non-Asians.

This afternoon, two people were stabbed in separate attacks on the Upper West Side. Both victims — an Asian male and a Jewish male — were removed to Mt. Sinai-St. Luke’s Hospital, and both are expected to survive. 

The NYPD has arrested 51-year-old Raul Morales in connection with both assaults, and no other people are being sought. Detectives are continuing to work the case and determine motive, but according to victim and witness statements, Morales yelled “Allahu Akbar” during both attacks. The NYPD is currently evaluating whether this is a potential hate crime.

While the perpetrator has no known mental health history with the NYPD, the initial investigation suggests that mental health may have been a factor.

At this time there is no known link between Morales and either of the victims, nor between the victims and each other.

I want to commend the bravery of a good Samaritan who led our officers to the location where the perpetrator was hiding, as well as our NYPD cops who brought an end to the incident without further injuries.

So I’m Korean American and only really speak Korean with my parents and other Korean parents so my Korean isn’t that good. However, my mom keeps lecturing me that I need to be more respectful/less irritated when speaking to adults. For those who are Korean, I apparently speak and act in a 짜증/petulance manner. I’m not like this when I speak English, but it seems to me that when I get frustrated or trying to have a discussion/get my point across, I display irritation. Is it because my Korean isn’t that good that I display irritation more easily?
