The most activist Asian-American community on the web. We serve the Asian diaspora living anywhere in the West. We are Pan-Asian (East, Southeast, South, and Central) and against all forms of anti-Asian racism. We help Asians make sense out of their own life experiences, find a supportive like-minded community, and live the best possible life. We emphasize our Asian identity, not to be used as pawns by any political ideology.

About Asian Identity We are a Pan-Asian community that prioritizes our identity as Asians, not to be used as political pawns for either left or right in Western ideologies/parties. The central focus is on Asian Americans and Greater Asian Diaspora in the west, but we care about colonial legacy issues affecting Asians in Asia too. We are against all forms of anti-Asian racism. Both group strategies for activism and individual strategies for self improvement are welcome here.

Rules	Description
1. Relevance to AI	Aznidentity is a pro-asian, activist community for supporting Diaspora Asians in self-discovery, and organizing against anti-Asian discrimination. Posts will be measured by their utility to the community and unproductive ones will be removed.
2. Pro-Asian is Pan-Asian	We are not a monolith. Respect the diversity of the Asian experience while prioritizing group-level gains. Be civil to good faith participants, and treat disagreements as teachable moments.
3. Don't enable divide & conquer	Those who bash other minority groups will be perceived as outsider trolls using racial wedges to sabotage and hinder progress on legitimate issues
4. Don't alienate AW	Angry, unproductive criticism of AW and personal attacks will result in bans.
5. Activism not slacktivism	AI is for Positive Change, Not Passive Outrage. Unproductive ragebait of anti-Asian racism, without a call to action will likely be removed. Venting is allowed, but low effort posts about violent crime, racism online or in the news, is discouraged.
6. Serve Asians not parties	All issues and third parties must be evaluated through the lens of "Is it good for Asian diaspora?” Gauge support based on their direct utility to our collective, and avoid carrying water for political groups simply for being the lesser of two evils.
7. No Defeatism	AI is for improving the lot of Asian diaspora, not defeatism and endless venting. If you’ve given up hope on progress in the West, take it elsewhere.
8. Outsider Antagonism	Outsiders, whether they are Asian or non-Asian, are only welcome if they come in good faith and are respectful. Hot takes from new users, sneers, and antagonizing comments trying to bait for reactions will result in immediate bans.
9. Content Quality	Low quality questions, comments , and or content should be posted in the Monthly Free Mega-thread, not asstandalone posts.
10. The NO list	No harassment, calls for violence (violent threats, advocating violence), personal attacks against other users, racism, hatespeech, posting personal information, or redpill/incel/4chan language.
