We often talk about how white supremacy uses the Model Minority Myth as a wedge, but rarely talk about how Black Americans adopt racism and jingoism against Asians domestically and abroad. (Please don’t repost or edit my art. Reblogs are always appreciated.)

armys doxxing a black woman for.. *checks notes* daring to speak out about how bts going to the white house is not only a joke given how their own fandom is blatantly and viciously anti asian to anyone that isn't them but also an obvious pr move by biden's administration to "get down with the youths" in an attempt to take heat off his failed anti bigotry agenda.... is not something that i had in my 2022 bingo card but you know what. i am not at all surprised

oh and FUCK bts for this they should focus on putting a muzzle on their rabid fans instead of hijacking conversations about anti asian american violence but we know they will never have the balls to do that cause they're too fucking scared of pissing off the racist imbeciles that keep their bills paid

do not have the fucking energy for ryan mnrphy stans anymore so here we go:

ryan murphy is making a movie about jeffrey dahmer. setting aside the fact that we shouldn't be sensationalizing stories about serial killers, ryan murphy, specifically, should get the fuck away from the jeffrey dahmer story, and how this fucking film is going to just be performative torture porn that dehumanizes victims.

for those of you who don't know about jeffrey dahmer, here are links to what he did. PLEASE be extremely cautious with yourselves. there are extremely explicit descriptions of torture, necrophilia, sexual assault, murder, dismemberment, and cannibalism.

cw for explicit description of one of the murders under the cut:

before i saw that ryan murphy was the writer/director i had some vague hopes for this film. i don't agree with any serial killer movie just on the basis of the fact that i truly and deeply believe that we should not be giving these people the hollywood treatment, but i was SLIGHTLY optimistic because it looked like there were black characters who weren't just there to be murdered by dahmer! but then i saw murphy's name, and actually watched the trailer, and oh boy i have not seen such dehumanizing shit in a while.

the thing about this that's pissing me off so much, beyond the fetishization of YET ANOTHER serial killer, is you cannot fairly and accurately discuss the murders committed by jeffrey dahmer without discussing race and racial conflicts in milwaukee in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. jeffrey dahmer was able to kill so many people (SEVENTEEN. SEVENTEEN.) because he was a white man and his victims were, predominantly, men and boys of color. they were queer. they were sex workers. they were fucking children. you cannot and should not and should NEVER present the story of the people who were murdered by jeffrey dahmer without focusing on that point. you can't discuss how jeffrey dahmer got away with it for years--from 1978 to fucking 1991--without acknowledging that he was white.

the story that breaks my heart is the story of konerak sinthasomphone, a FOURTEEN YEAR OLD LAOTIAN REFUGEE who was the younger brother of one of dahmer's sexual assault victims. dahmer injected acid into his skull. konerak got away, and asked two passing black women for help, but cops those women called BROUGHT HIM BACK TO DAHMER because dahmer claimed that konerak was a) drunk, b) 19, and c) his boyfriend. this in 1991.

you cannot separate the horror of dahmer's predation and killings without an intimate and thorough examination of racism and queerphobia, not just in dahmer but in milwaukee, in wisconsin, and in law enforcement as a whole. i do not fucking trust ryan murphy to do that. i barely trust him to own a pet.

jeffrey dahmer murdered 17 people. half of them were black men. only three were white. this story could not and should not be told by a white man, especially a white cis gay man who thinks his shit doesn't stink while simultaneously pulling off some of the most egregiously racist torture porn that i've seen in DECADES.

fuck this movie. fuck this movie. fuck ryan murphy and fuck netflix for enabling him.

When the opening scene of The Batman was playing and I saw the one (1) East Asian man stand up on the train uneasily while a gang eyed him I felt a pit in my stomach. When he left and the gang started chasing him the bad feeling intensified. When he was being beaten I felt resigned. When the movie ended and this one East Asian man, who was given all of one minute of screen time, was shown to also be the only East Asian character in the entirety of the movie, it left a bad taste in my mouth. How can I possibly explain how this felt deeply unpleasant after two years of an unrelenting rise in Asian hate? How having the only person who even remotely looks like me get reduced to being a meek, helpless, victimized plot device like so many East Asian characters have been reduced to in Western media for decades makes me feel? The scene was, at best, rather in bad taste

They have no information. The shooter is still at large, so please tell everyone you know in the LA area to...... well, nothing. I guess there's nothing you can do to be safe and nowhere you can go to be safe, so just good luck 😔

Only country with dozens of mass shootings a year, but apparently, it's unstoppable. There is no way forward to even reduce gun violence at all. That's what gun enthusiasts say. That's the logic we're supposed to accept: nothing can stop it or reduce it, so there's no point in trying. Again, only happens here. But yeah....

The mainstream media narrative about anti-Asian hate crimes consistently erases Asian men as victims. So when AAPI Data—a well-known source of reputable stats—acknowledged this issue in March, I felt validated for the first time, and decided to find out what went wrong.

Is the erasure of Asian men in anti-Asian hate crime narratives occurring during data collection, analysis, or interpretation by mainstream media? The answer is that deep-seated bias against Asian men is present at all three levels of the process, causing harm along the way.

The reports I read came from a variety of sources: AAPI Data (national surveys), Stop AAPI Hate (community reporting), hate crime statistics (national law enforcement data), and articles and reports from Asian academics and journalists. I focused on these four reports in particular.

Here's what I found. National survey data (AAPI Data) is considered more reliable than community reporting (Stop AAPI Hate), yet mainstream Asian-led media has relied heavily on Stop AAPI Hate data. Which might not be so bad—if Stop AAPI Hate didn't show several signs of bias.

Stop AAPI Hate has pushed a media narrative that East Asian women are at the highest risk of physical assault. Yet their most recent national report and survey of AAPI women show that Asian men, enbies, and South Asian women are the most likely to experience physical assault.

Stop AAPI Hate has also pushed the narrative that Asian women are uniquely targeted because of their gender. Yet in both their national report and survey of AAPI women, victims of all genders overwhelmingly attribute these hate incidents to race & ethnicity, not gender.

The omission of Asian men from the narrative of anti-Asian hate crimes is more glaring when Dr. Janelle Wong's report shows that there's evidence—even before 2021—that Asian men report violent incidents more often, self-report to community organizations less, and get less media coverage.

It seems Stop AAPI Hate suffers from two major problems: 1) it ignores important patterns in its own data if it doesn't validate a narrative centering East Asian women, which 2) suggests a biased over-prioritization of EA women in outreach efforts—which impacts self-reporting.

Additionally, Stop AAPI Hate doesn't collect race data on perpetrators of anti-Asian hate crimes. Its vague language and ambiguous framework of restorative justice & education seems to favor the perpetrators' needs more than the needs of actual AAPI victims—which is concerning.

Restorative justice is well-intentioned but has major flaws, including the assumption that the victim has enough English proficiency to understand procedures and communicate their needs. Given what we know about many AAPI victims, this assumption is dangerous and can cause harm.

Anti-Asian hate crimes are vastly under-reported in national law enforcement stats because AAPI feel the least comfortable in reporting them and, like in Atlanta, law enforcement routinely downplays anti-Asian racism due to white supremacist apathy and the Model Minority Myth.

AAPI victims worry about drawing attention to themselves in reporting hate incidents, so they may feel pressured to rush through restorative justice procedures or acquiesce to whatever is proposed, regardless of whether they agree. This defeats the purpose of empowering them.

Also, national hate crime stats show 75% of perpetrators of anti-Asian hate crimes are white, 25% non-white. So why is restorative justice, an approach meant to protect POC from disproportionate levels of judicial punishment, being applied in a one-size-fits-all approach?

To understand why this is harmful, let's consider the Atlanta shooter. The AAPI community had to fight loudly to overcome the racist narrative that he had a sex addiction and "had a bad day." According to Stop AAPI Hate, should we drop all charges and just get him in a classroom?

Overall, vague restorative justice procedures could end up reinforcing the status quo that already exists: perpetrators don't face appropriate consequences and AAPI victims are disempowered. AAPI deserve full transparency on what restorative justice looks like—upfront.

This doesn't mean Stop AAPI Hate's work is useless. But the severe de-prioritization of Asian men raises red flags on what the organization's purpose is and how much bias is corrupting its work. It means that Asian men are being double victimized—and by our own community no less.

So until Stop AAPI Hate publicly acknowledges the harm it's caused in its erasure of Asian men, improves its methodology and analysis, and centers victims completely, it shouldn't be relied on as a primary data source to shape the media narrative about anti-Asian hate crimes.

In this post, I focused mostly on the data and analysis of anti-Asian hate crimes, and Stop AAPI Hate's role as a primary source. In my next post, I’ll focus on journalism and the mainstream media messaging about anti-Asian hate crimes that gets produced from this data.

'canada is the 8th safest place in the world for women'

indigenous women: missing and/or murdered

black women: face police brutality

asian women: targeted by asian hate groups

brown women: face religious discrimination whether or not they wear a head garment

This is what happens when anti-Asian racism and discrimination is allowed to go unchecked.

Extremely weird to me that we don't use racism to describe all forms of ethnic/racial discrimination that would qualify if the victim were black, commonly.

Not using the shared term feels antithetical to coalition building, and I don't like that.

Anti indigenous sentiment is racism

Anti Asian sentiment is racism

Anti semitism is racism, etc

None of these are qualitatively different from one another, the stereotypes and justifications are just diverse.

Whenever I see asian, brown, and/or black Americans reinforcing, supporting, and upholding racism, colonization, imperialism, colorism, and any other belief system that not only harms them directly but other non-white communities as well and they still want to claim that they themselves are POC and face discrimination I feel bitter disgust towards them.

#yeah I know the oppression Olympics aren't real #everyone has their own problems #but the way so many Asian Americans contribute to colonization of the USA #refuse to admit they are guilty of anti-black racism and won't even acknowledge the Native American genocide really upsets me #then of course there's the colorism that every single Community is guilty of #don't even need to explain that one #the fact that my fellow brown people are also guilty of anti-black racism is upsetting as I feel we should be allies #and let's be honest there are black Republicans out there #whether it be through self-hatred or combination of multiple factors a lot of black people don't want to see other black people succeed #plus I've seen my share of black people on the Internet Posting pictures of themselves in red face for Halloween or #talking about how if Pocahontas was real she would be a black woman #fucken really? #plus many middle class and higher Asian Americans and African Americans don't want to acknowledge who's stolen land theyre living on #i 100% agree African-American should receive reparations from the US government #but I see people talking about how they deserve to have a plot of land and that makes me uneasy #of course there was that whole Asian American vs African American violence during the covid shutdowns #white supremacist love to see anyone who is not white tear each other down because it makes their job easier #I know we have our history between all of us that has left scars that never healed #I just find it so sad that we as a whole are still tearing each other down instead of trying to do better #I don't know how to properly explain this without going into a long ass historic rant #plus I don't want to #no energy #just wanted to get some thoughts out of my head
