Three years ago, a man went on a shooting spree at three spas in the Atlanta area, killing eight people. Six of the eight victims were women of Asian descent.
Today, we honor their lives and send love to their families.

I think 'positive' stereotypes about marginalized people (e.g. smart Asians, athletic Black people, genius Autists, kind and wise wheelchair users) are probably better described as 'benign', by analogy to 'benign tumors'
From Wikipedia
'Does not spread' is maybe a bit overly generous, but 'can be harmful or fatal' tracks
PS both my parents had cancer so I'm authorised to speak on tumor analogies ✌️

Happy Lunar New Year New moon, and welcome to Aquarius Season. . The Star is the seventeenth card of the Major Arcana and ruled by Aquarius. She is Divine support. The cracks where the light gets in. She is here to create space for diving deep, integrating, merging and support as we move along this journey of deep healing. Set intentions of cleansing, clearing and allowing. Let the tears flow. . As I write this, I am feeling deeply saddened and infuriated. The onslaught of hate crimes towards the #aapi community is weighing heavily on my heart and soul. Which makes the experience of healing feel distant. Calling on energy of The Star in order to find that glimmer of light while the smoke clears. #lunarnewyear #stopasianhate #aquariusseason #thestar #tarot #newmooninaquarius #newmoon #aapi (at New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnusjb-P_Uc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sobre a ADUS e outras reflexões
O instituto ADUS é uma entidade não-governamental criada em 2011 que busca a integração de refugiados na sociedade brasileira e já impactou a vida de mais de 9.000 pessoas.
Considerando as informações passadas referente a instituição, conseguimos uma entrevista com um dos refugiados que recebeu auxílio da ADUS e hoje ministra aulas na escola de idiomas Unno, o qual podemos analisar a seguir.
Ao redor do mundo, países se organizam no Sistema Internacional (SI) acompanhados de suas respectivas formas de governo (seja um sistema presidencialista, monárquico parlamentarista, democrático e entre outras). Por sua vez, a estrutura político-ideológica de um governo autoritário pode desmembrar um regime de ditadura nos Estados que determinam este como base administrativa da nação.
Este caso ocorreu com Togo, um país africano localizado ao oeste do continente africano, que há anos encara um regime ditatorial. Togo já foi o lar de Tafalwa Ahorou, refugiado que precisou deixar a sua vida, seu trabalho e seus laços territoriais para partir rumo ao Brasil em 2017, buscando o bem-estar social e uma jornada mais digna.
Formado em Contabilidade e com experiência profissional bancária em seu país de origem, Tafalwa atua há 4 anos como professor de francês no Instituto ADUS (que concentra a participação de outros refugiados no ensino linguístico), após cursar pedagogia e aprender a língua portuguesa (dificuldade que ele acentua na entrevista).
Durante o processo de chegada e estabilização no Brasil, outros obstáculos, além do idioma, também são encontrados no caminho de grande parte dos refugiados que aqui enxergam possibilidades. Um deles, também relatado por Tafalwa, é a retirada do Registro Nacional de Estrangeiros (RNE), que funciona como um documento aos imigrantes, legalizando a permanência deles em solo brasileiro.
Além disso, o preconceito intrínseco na sociedade, em especial a brasileira, torna-se uma das piores etapas a serem enfrentadas pelos refugiados, que se sentem deslocados e violados pelos comentários racistas e xenofóbicos de muitos indivíduos.
O Brasil possui o dever de cumprir com os compromissos humanitários envolvendo as pessoas refugiadas e solicitantes de refúgio, assegurando a proteção dessas pessoas, garantindo a sua entrada no país – o que vai além de possuir permissão e documentação – o direito de solicitação de refúgio, residência provisória, até o recebimento de documentos de identidade, tais quais RNE, Carteira de Trabalho e CPF.
Embora a lei brasileira de refúgio tenha seus avanços normativos, um dos empecilhos acerca do tema no país é a insuficiência em termos de pessoal e recursos necessário do órgão federal vinculado ao Ministério da Justiça, o Conselho Nacional para os Refugiados (CONARE), responsável por avaliar e decidir todas as solicitações de refúgio no Brasil e por definir a política brasileira de refúgio.
A falta de recursos inviabiliza o atendimento da demanda existente, acumulando muitos casos que podem durar mais de dois anos para obter uma resposta, além de possíveis falhas nos processos que acabam prejudicado os solicitantes de refúgio.
Em virtude das vulnerabilidades nos países de origem, muitos dos refugiados e solicitantes de refúgio não conseguirão retornar para eles, por isso outra importante atribuição do Brasil é integrá-los, acolhendo-os e garantindo a mesma condição de igualdade dos nacionais brasileiros. A complicação existente aparece com a pouca integração que é promovida pelos estados e municípios do país, marcados pela falta de competência na formulação de políticas públicas e em integrar, de fato, os refugiados, solicitantes de refúgio e migrantes, nas áreas da educação e saúde, o que pode ser explicado pela falta de recursos federais para atender as demandas.

Hafu Mudblood piece of shit or for white people and non Asians reading this title Redacted Redacted Piece of Shit
There’s a great deal of irony that JK Rowling gets to use the word Mudblood as this
Fantasy world word
When it’s a word still hurled at me
When people think I’m not listening
Or when I’m not in the room
Or if I say something they don’t agree with
Or am too much
Dare to stand in my Japanese-ness
Dare to try
To explain what it’s like to watch your friends die by suicide
And that Everything All At Once is too triggering to watch
Because you’ve lived it
Because being A trans and gay and Japanese man
Is to be so invisible you’re not even caught on cia censors
Except if you dare to complain on Facebook
How not white are you
Dean
Well
The moment I say
I don’t like something
My account is banned
There’s no recourse for the false bans against me
Cops arrested a man for attacking a Buddha statue but not the same man when he threatened to kill me
Even when I had RECORDINGS of it they said I couldn’t prove he wanted to kill me specifically
That unless he killed me it wasn’t a crime
But yeah tell me Asians are all lying when we say we’re victims of hate crimes
It takes so much to say it
You never say it for just you
Because to complain is selfish when there are others in line ahead of you
We’re accutely aware of this
And I would let my fist kiss every white supremacists piece of shit that tries to hurt a Black person And then cries to justify it
But it hurts this model minority silence
Compounded with my throat cancer loss of voice
It’s taken the what felt like the one thing I did well
And turned that into not a choice
So now I’m left with writing
Hoping you will read
This invisible man’s words
Waiting at the back of the line
While white people cut in front of me

It’s truly mind boggling the amount of gaslighting a lot of white people do everytime a person of color talks about the racism they experience to this day in its many different forms.
Like imagine talking about Mississippi essentially brought back Jim Crow when they proposed a bill that will allow a white Republican state official be in charge of choosing judges to oversee a 80% Black city…. Like bombastic side eye. But when Black residents speak up about how this seems very familiar, they’re being met with misquotes of MLK.
An Asian person can talk about how they were bullied for being “weird food” to school and “smelling weird”, but white people will chime in saying, “Well your food does smell weird.” Like no.
Romani people have constantly spoke about how they hate being referred to as the g slur for decades, from what I understand. And a white woman will chime in “I bet you’re only saying this because of ‘My Big F G-Slur Wedding”. Like they didn’t have problems with when the fable first aired.
The list goes on. It’s weird. Why are y’all so quick to defend racism or tell us to be nicer when addressing it? When has being nice ever gotten us anywhere. They only did something during the Civil Rights Era because the Soviet Union was talking shit about the treatment of anyone not white in the US using whataboutism to deflect any propaganda against them.
