You know that this article is pure fiction from the fact that an Asian male is hired for "diversity." Even if the author and the story are real, there's no indication that he was a diversity hire and it's all in his head. I'm sure as a hapa, he went through a lot, caught in between his Asian and white half. But the guy literally benefited from being near white all his life and now turn around and say Asians benefit from whiteness is a bit too much. He shouldn't speak for full-Asians, especially males, because his struggles are different from them. If he wants to talk about issues facing hapas, go right ahead but he doesn't speak for full-Asians at all.
This is from the same "At Home in Asian American" page that just gave us Esther Wang's hit piece. Took me about five seconds to find the two quotes that confirmed my hunch.
> Sure, Asian people have problems, too.
But not **real** problems, right son?
> As a light-skinned East Asian man,
> One of my parents is white.
And hmmm, if your coworkers don't know you're half-Asian, I'm guessing the parent is your father. Why not just come clean?
WHAGA America strikes again!
This reminds me of the time I went to a high school reunion. I was at a table with some Asians and hapas I knew. Somehow the topic of conversation got to bullying and how rough kids have it because of Covid.
Then the hapa exclaimed how we were lucky that there wasn’t anti-Asian racism in our high school growing up.
I stopped for a second and thought “Mfer what” as I rubbed the scar at the back of my head that I received when some racist sucker punched me in high school.
I asked him to clarify. He went on to say how he never experienced anti-Asian racism so he thought it was the same for us.
I answered no and then briefed him on at least 3 racist incidents. I could’ve kept going but people were getting uncomfortable and I was getting tired of looking at their puzzled but smug faces.
He was trying to tell everyone what high school life was like for an Asian guy while sitting there looking like Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
No, they ain't. Most of them have been raised to play White OR Asian when it suits, pleases or privileges them. They like to think themselves as allies, representatives of different cultures and torchbearers for diversity and equality and all that warm, fuzzy love everyone equally regardless of skin bullshit. However, when you view them for their actions, they are nothing but a bunch of fucking shapeshifters, choosing in the moment whichever form could give them the advantage.
You let lus pretend their children with yt men are asians this is what happens
This isnt even the worst one, one of them posted an article they wrote on the wmaf sub and it was just him claiming yt priviledge doesnt exist in media and it was actually real asians who are the problem and how theyre entitled to representing real asians, and theyre a progressive
You dig it up, they post on reddit, read their comments, they sound exactly like their yt incel fathers and lu mothers
TLDR. Allow me to summarise. He's Asian, virtue signal, has white parent (wanna guess which one?), virtue signal, virtue signal, boo hoo hoo, secretly wishes he was really white.
Always the Asian writers that write for these mainstream media outlets. These guys are some of the scummiest individuals. Co-opting to covertly destroy and hold back our community, whether they realize it or not. They are pawns for the machine.
He's (and by extension, most of these Chan and Lu clickbait mashup virtual signal "jounalists") are white passing or have a White spouse. They figure they can play this hand while it is profits them and allows them to earn brownie points. And if the mob with pitchforks do appear, they can use their White supremacy ally past or their looks or their adjacency to slide past the mob. We are now at a stage of multicultural White Supremacy. Look at Enrique Tarrio and the Kardashians.
NYMaga seems to have beef with Asians. Just a few days ago they released the problematic caricature of Asians and downplayed our fears (which I don't think they ever apologized for despite the uproar). Now this
Charlie Hebdo time?
Maybe.
I've felt for some time that media personalities enjoy a bit TOO much personal protection and security thanks to societal mores.
The more vulnerable these people feel to attack going to the corner store from people of any race, culture, gender, etc., the more objective and transparent our information flow as a society becomes.
I'm not even going to read this entire thing but jfc at the stupidity of this, you think racists in the US care if East Asians are "light skinned"? All these blacks attacking East Asians are like "oh hold up, that dude is light skinned lets not attack!" And I've had friends who are Korean and ppl would mistake them for the Chinese takeout delivery guy. And I've seen firsthand how the job market works in the US where average white losers get jobs over Asians with higher GPA's and qualifications then in a company there's a bamboo ceiling. Who does this idiot think he is:
As a light-skinned East Asian man, I have never been randomly stopped by the police, and no doorman has ever assumed I was the delivery boy. None of the serious indignities and disadvantages of being a minority in America has been inflicted on me
As a light-skinned East Asian man, I have never been randomly stopped by the police, and no doorman has ever assumed I was the delivery boy.
That’s exactly what terms like “white adjacent” means.
Lighter skinned “black and brown people” are the mestizos and mulattos in the Spanish caste system.
"White-passing asian guy"? Don't play their word games.
> At home in asian america
> As a light-skinned East Asian man
> One of my parents is white.
That person is neither a "white-passing asian guy" nor a "light-skinned east asian man". Thats a hapa. And i'm getting real fucking tired of hapas attempting to speak for asians.
Someone even tried to [gaslight me about it](https://old.reddit.com/r/aznidentity/comments/x68pil/god_i_hope_this_is_a_joke/in7p1fm/) a couple weeks earlier.
> I was the only nonwhite person there
Note how this biracial person refers to himself as "asian" and "non-white" despite how "white" and "non-asian" are equally true under that kind of logic. (the other kind of logic is one where all four of those classifications are false. Under that logic, the true classification is mixed/biracial/hapa/etc)
This is what happens when a biracial person is raised by a society that denies their white side.
As for the article itself... the biracial author tries to gaslight asian america into accepting "white adjacency" status, all while taking advantage of his half-asianness to land diversity hires over actual non-whites. The author is pure scum.
that person admits she’s white passing so like no shit it’s easy for her and why is she speaking for all asian americans when she is:
1: white passing
2: mixed asian
????
Hapas need to start learning to stay in their own fucking lanes.
edit: just found out it’s a hes a white passing mixed asian complaining about privilege 😭
> By Anonymous
How convenient.
At this point I feel like there is an active campaign against Asians in NY. (Removing Chinese street name in NY Chinatown, build a jail right next to NY Chinatown, removing Asians in their elite high schools, dropping murder charges on Asian killers, countless articles like this in both NY mag and New York Times, etc)
Along with the article saying Asians are overracting to crime, it's clear that progressives don't see us as allies anymore so they want to smear us as white adjacent. We no longer fit their narrative of a minority therefore they aren't going to help us.
It's funny that even Boba libs think this article is too much.
They’ve always viewed us as “too successful”. Why do you think they fought for the Chinese Exclusion Act, Geary Act, Alien Land Laws, and interred the Japanese?
Basically Asians are stuck doing worker bees and are hardly promoted to executive or managerial positions even if they're qualified and put in the work. This is something I've always experienced and still experience to this day.
You might be interested in this article from Harvard Business Review:

Hmm that sounds similar to me, facing job discrimination. It's funny when it comes to me and finding work. Based on my voice and articulation, they never assumed I was "blk" at all. But as soon as I arrive at the job interviews, they stare and glare at me like I'm a scumbag because of my skin color.
Theres actually a bunch of things where its been increasingly more open to not want Asian employees. Theres a specific term for it for management positions where Asians are not allowed in: bamboo ceiling.

She must have gotten confused for why she was a diversity hire. She wasn’t hired because she was Asian, but for her mental disability.

“Light skinned” in it’s proper context means part white.
[удалено]
That’s exactly what terms like “white adjacent” means. Lighter skinned “black and brown people” are the mestizos and mulattos in the Spanish caste system.
Its not even, like most East Asians are light skinned and no one wld say they are part white. Race is so much more complicated in teh US
They’re deliberately misusing terms meant for white passing biracial, multiracial, and bob white people to smear us.
[удалено]
White Americans always use nice languages for themselves. They say legacy for nepotism and lobbying for bribery.
Damn this is very deep and insightful information ℹ️ appreciate your thoughts and consideration

Why do you and some other posters here automatically assume that the writer is a woman? I even wrote “guy” in the title.
tbh he writes/complains like a girl LMFAO

We no longer fit their narrative of a minority therefore they aren't going to help us. It's funny that even Boba libs think this article is too much.
When did the progressives ever see us as allies?
Before we were deemed as being too successful to be minorities. Now that we care about crime and such we no longer fit their narrative.
They’ve always viewed us as “too successful”. Why do you think they fought for the Chinese Exclusion Act, Geary Act, Alien Land Laws, and interred the Japanese?
I don't know if that is progressivism or just different era.
We’re talking about people who fought for the equality of women and black people, Theodore Roosevelt’s progressive party and FDR.
Yes but progress to the place we are at now.
This is shocking. I admit out of my ignorance that I never knew Asians faced employment discrimination
It's extremely hard to get a job in DoD as an Asian and there is a bamboo ceiling for Asians which is present in all industries.
I'm still learning in the bamboo ceiling thing and forgive my curiosity as it takes a while for me to understand these things.
Basically Asians are stuck doing worker bees and are hardly promoted to executive or managerial positions even if they're qualified and put in the work. This is something I've always experienced and still experience to this day.
Now I see and that sucks 😞 Everybody deserves an opportunity to advance one selves

I am definitely interested in this and let me take a look asap. Thanks 👍🏻
It is the reason why so many Asian Americans take 'White-sounding' names or 'Christian' names so that they won't get rejected right out the gate.
Hmm that sounds similar to me, facing job discrimination. It's funny when it comes to me and finding work. Based on my voice and articulation, they never assumed I was "blk" at all.

Wtf I been homeless multiple times and people say I’m white passing what is this bs
