When a person belonging to a minority group says or does something bad, you are, of course, free to criticize them. But it still does not give you the right to be a bigot. Noah Schnapp sharing stupid, careless, and uninformed geopolitical opinions deserves to be called out, but it does not mean that you suddenly get to tell him that he should have been gassed by Hitler or killed by anti-Jewish hate groups or terrorists — both things I've read on Twitter and on Tumblr. It does not justify you calling him homophobic or antisemitic slurs.

"But he deserves it!" you argue. First of all, why do you think so? What makes it okay for any person to be given the green signal to get called slurs, or have people advocate for them to get hatecrimed? And more importantly, you are only signaling to your Jewish friends that you are actually capable of antisemitism. Same thing goes with your queer friends, or any friends belonging to a minority group. When you justify one form of bigotry, even to just one person — you justify all forms of bigotry.

So if you find yourself doing any of these, ask yourself why it's so easy to slip into bigoted rhetoric instead of simply focusing your criticism on what a person did/said.

#here's another example: a couple years back many chinese idols made statements supporting the ccp #despite the fact that the ccp was comitting genocide on its muslim population #it was awful and i have stopped supporting any of these idols #but that doesn't mean i could call these idols sinophobic slurs #and when anti-chinese hate crimes because of covid were spiking it didn't mean i could say that these chinese idols deserved to get beat up #because that is a horrible fucking thing to say #noah schnapp #antisemitism #this is probably the last thing i talk about noah bc again people care too much about him #i'm aware i hold a shockingly unpopular opinion lol #a person from x minority doing something disagreeable is not and will never be grounds for you to act bigoted

I'm sorry, this was bothering me enough to send in an ask.

The stupid question is: how strict is Earth-Kingdom-is-China vs Fire-Kingdom-is-Japan generally? I mostly ask because although none of the canon characters use real Japanese names, but it feels like everyone uses Japanese names for Fire Kingdom and Chinese for Earth, which makes Chinese Wanyi for Zuko's ship not fit in.

I mean, the waters are muddied from China's historical domination over the area, and it's a really great pun, but I woke up and my brain wouldn't let go of the entirely petty issue.

Ugh. Sorry for the stupid ask, especially since I don't come bearing any like funny trivia with to mitigate with. Please feel free to disregard as well, especially since I'm too cowardly to link to my actual tumblr account.

There's absolutely no strictness, because that's a fanon division anyway, and not one I adhere to. Fanon is fake and we can make of it what we want, and I want the pretty ship name!

#I tend to use Japanese names and culture #because I minored in Japanese and lived in Japan for awhile #I use Chinese and other Asian-country concepts as I become aware of them #the show itself deliberately mixes cultures across the board #probably because they realized making the Fire Nation == Japan would be #Uh #Rather on the nose #Historically speaking

Fishskin Robes of the Ethnic Tungusic People of China and Russia

The Hezhe people 赫哲族 (also known as Nanai 那乃) are one of the smallest recognized minority groups in China composed of around five thousand members. Most live in the Amur Basin, more specifically, around the Heilong 黑龙, Songhua 松花, and Wusuli 乌苏里 rivers. Their wet environment and diet, composed of almost exclusively fish, led them to develop impermeable clothing made out of fish skin. Since they are part of the Tungusic family, their clothing bears resemblance to that of other Tungusic people, including the Jurchen and Manchu.

They were nearly wiped out during the Imperial Japanese invasion of China but, slowly, their numbers have begun to recover. Due to mixing with other ethnic groups who introduced the Hezhen to cloth, the tradition of fish skin clothing is endangered but there are attempts of preserving this heritage.

Although Hezhen clothing is characterized by its practicality and ease of movement, it does not mean it’s devoid of complexity. Below are two examples of ornate female Hezhen fishskin robes. Although they may look like leather or cloth at first sight, they’re fully made of different fish skins stitched together. It shows an impressive technical command of the medium.

The Nivkh people of China and Russia also make clothing out of fish skin. Like the Hezhen, they also live in the Amur Basin but they are more concentrated on and nearby to Sakhalin Island in East Siberia.

hey i just wanted to say your art got reposted without credit on tiktok from a user going by _viiiiimi_, they made some serious allegations about sinophobia from china fans using your fan art of china as example because they thought it was over sexualized / feminized. just wanted to give you a heads up

AIN’T NO FUCKING WAY 😨😨😨 I’M LITERALLY CHINESE?1!1?-!2?:&:&/9&:’sskoakekwodmdjdlsl

Unfortunately I don’t have a tiktok, nor do I ever plan to download it — could someone confront them for me, I can’t find any of their other SMS

Wow, I’m reading reviews for a book I’m trying to read, and I’m appalled that so many people have a problem with a male author writing a sapphic main character. Damn, get your fucking head out of the sand.

They don’t even complain of him messing up representation there. They just hate it for some reason!

Sorry, but that’s just not it. A man can write a sapphic main character. There is no inherent problem with that. He’s just writing a character he finds fun and fascinating!

#y’all would hate my dad for this then #when really his sister was a lesbian #and he supported her through hell and high water #so of course he’d want to share that representation with the world #and people don’t even need a story like that to write whoever they want #i’m sorry am i going to hell for writing a chinese character #despite my minor in asian studies and hours of research? #thinking of rebecca kuang mentioning #this same idea that you can just write that representation #just do it #my god people #vent #salt #also one of my guy friends has a lesbian main character in one trilogy #what is wrong with that #nothing

#bungo stray dogs #bsd #literature #dark academia #reading list #academia #i'm sure there's people i've missed but i did my best LOL #this also really throws into a stark contrast how relatively un-worldly american literary curriculums really are #obviously; it makes vague sense to focus american literary schooling on the western 'canon' bc so much of the english language #is influenced by it and the 'culture' is more touched by it but HOLY SHIT does it just... astound me #how uneducated i am on even east asian literature (from wheremst i technically hail!!!) #i know like.... maybe 3?? 4??? chinese writers off cuff??? #like the only reason i even know anything about jpn literature is i got my minor in jpn so i read some stuff but WOWWWWW there's a wORLD. #the fact that i knew not a SINGLE work by most of these jpn writers but as soon as we got to the guild members #i didn't even have to fucking google/wiki -- i just KNEW off the top of my head #kinda fucked up tbh;;;; #anyway this list is massive but i think at least dipping my foot into some of the poems/short stories will be fun

Amy Lin Workman (New Zealand actor, director, writer, and award-winning cosplayer) as new Teen Wolf character Hikari Zhang

+ bonus content from her Instagram, @/itsamyworkman

#hope they don’t send her to the desert #nobody is posting about her (that I’ve seen) even though she is also. in the movie #ikik Kira replacement but apparently she was already in the script and meant to interact with Kira before Arden (rightfully) declined #something something teen wolf is incapable of hiring people of the race their character is #which is why Kira is played by a Korean actress and now Hikari is played by a Chinese actress #there’s a joke in here about how the casting directors think all minorities look the same #zhang is a Chinese name btw. hikari however is Japanese. fascinating #very excited about this character however wish more ppl were talking about her #also amy workman is so cool. she does literally everything #teen wolf #hikari zhang #amy workman #amy lin workman #teen wolf movie

learning chinese like 

and then learning scottish gaelic like 

this word guga ‘young gannet’ is on lesson 3 of duolingo. if there is any better way to exemplify the difference between these languages than these two screenshots, I’ll wait

#chinese #gaelic #scottish gaelic #on a more serious note however #the deep sense of ROOTED in place that gaelic has #of knowing - yes I know what a gannet is! #I've seen them! I know where they live and nest and I know the sound of their cry!! #and knowing too all that happened to make this language nearly extinct and that it may still die yet #and still I'm here. lying on my side at 10pm in South Korea across the other side of the world #looking at a tiny electronic box and learning on an app #the word for a young wild bird #and the harsh beauty of the cliffs #I'm thinking about that post that talks about how learning a - I can't say indigenous #because it doesn't mean quite the same thing in a European context #but learning a minority local oppressed language and the way it may have of talking about the hills #and that yes English has these words too (or used to) and yes I'm maybe over-romanticising #but I still feel a deep DEEP sense of kinship to my family who also loved the cliffs and the hills like I do #and maybe talked about them like this #I don't know
