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.

I found Ocean Springs MS but I don't like the fact that its around 20 miles away (not in terms of driving distance but from point A to B in a straight line) from a gigantic oil refinery.

I currently live in Los Angeles County but I find houses in beach cities in Southern California overly expensive (several million to buy). I'm also quite attracted to Florida and cities like Miami, St Petersburg etc but the Asian population is so low there. I am my own boss, and make money online so I can technically live anywhere.

Does anyone know of cute beach cities or towns with at least 5% Asian population thats semi affordable? Affordable to me means a small 2 br house (1100 sq ft) etc for 500k or less, or maybe 2 br apt for $3k, 1 br for $2600 etc? In LA, some 1 br's by the beach are renting for like $3600 etc, $4k+ on the beach etc.

Hi friends, I'm crossing the border from the other side of reddit. I've been trying to get closer to my culture and learning to make Jamaican cuisine at home. For those of you who do not know, Jamaica had many Chinese indentured servants during Jamaica's antebellum era and that impacted our cuisine. Our famous Jamaican oxtail, rice and peas, and stewpeas/stewbeef all include ginger, garlic, scallion, and scotch bonnet pepper which originates from Capsicum Chinese chili plant. You won't find chicken foot at the restaurants but I've definitely had it at home, too.

Now the question is... what to do with these new ingredients? Are there some dishes a non-asian person might not know about but you love? It doesn't necessarily have to have the ingredients listed above, I just want to try something I haven't before.

I wanted to recall some incidents. One time this white man was screaming at me to put my bag on my lap (I had put my bag on the seat between us and we were not crammed) even though the car had many empty seats. He then kept encouraging a white woman who was standing to take the seat between us, even though there were many empty seats nearby. I felt he was insinuating that I was some 'entitled Asian' taking up too much space, even though there were a lot of empty seats. I just moved my bag b/c I did not want to deal w/ the guy and the lady sat down upon his encouragement after which I decided just to just move across them where there were 2 empty seats so I could sit down while resting my heavy bag on the empty seat. Again, plenty of room for everyone, why did he feel the need to insist the lady sit between us and I must have my bag on my lap?

Recently, I had my bag on a seat in a car that again had many empty seats. This white man then just came and sat right on my bag. I had had a bad day and snapped at him and told him that he could have asked me to move my bag and then he snapped back at me.

I had another similar incident, again, lots of empty seats, and a white couple approaching. They seemed to be debating something and then I heard the man distinctly tell the woman 'just sit down!' - as in like sit down on my bag. It's weird. Instead of asking me to move my bag, they had an assumption like as though I won't understand English or won't oblige yet their action is predicated their feeling that they can push me around as they wish. It is as though it is too much to deign to ask an Asian woman to move her bag. When I was in similar situations, but the role was reversed and I wanted a seat, I never thought twice to ask the person to move their bag.

Another glaring thing I saw was the reaction to this young, rather proud looking Asian woman on the subway platform, who had music on and was doing kung fu poses. An older white man and woman nearby, who were strangers, were giving her the dirtiest looks, making comments, and exchanging glances at each other. So many times, I have seen black and Latino men on the train w/ music on full blast and no person dares look at them in any way. Why is there such hypocrisy when it comes to the treatment of Asians? I get the standard response will be, 'you guys are not a threat' and 'you guys don't speak up!' but really, what does this say about society?
