Just really, really, really not in the mood for people using immigrants as model minority wedges against kneeling black athletes today.
"Immigrants love America so much they flock to our shores. These athletes should learn to see America the same way." #wedgepolitics anew

Just unpacking Dr. Ford’s response on her memories: epinephrine and norepinephrine are the adrenaline hormones that underlie the body’s “fight-or-flight” response. In the brain, they act as neurotransmitters to heighten immediate awareness in response to fear.
The adrenaline-driven fear state sears specific memories of a trauma into the brain by linking them to the fear, but that heightened awareness is often incomplete. One will remember laughter of the attacker or some mundane detail of the room, but perhaps not the house’s address.
Importantly, the fight-or-flight response rarely preserves the exact “when” of a trauma. The adrenaline response creates a vivid memory of the trauma itself, but often without events leading up to or after the trauma, because that is outside of the epinephrine response window.

Check this @thecrimson article out for a deep dive into an Asian American student’s successful application into Harvard, including the glowing review he received by the admissions panel. thecrimson.com/article/2018/9…
The key takeaway here is sort of what we’ve been saying all along: academic scores aren’t the full picture and only used to assess basic competency. What’s more important is for a student to highlight how they are unique, and how they will contribute to the Harvard community.
When some focus primarily on the strength of their academic scores, as if this entitles them to a Harvard admission letter over others, a reviewer can see that and knows that this may be the wrong attitude to take to a discursive community. Schools are recruiting new citizens.

So many of us deal with the kind of trolling and online harassment that @pronounced_ing is highlighting here and in her previous thread. This type of coordinated abuse is grounded in misogynistic rationale that Asian American women/feminists need to be put back in our place.
The purpose of this type of abuse campaign is to terrorize Asian American women into silence through repeated harassment, belittlment, and occasionally threats. Sadly, it is too often effective; over the years I know several women who have felt forced to stop talking bc of this.
This is happening. This is happening every day to many of us Asian American women and feminists. We know who these users are. We know where they congregate. We know their tactics.

And yet, the community does almost nothing to address this, and so the targeted abuse continues.

Important ethnic disaggregation of Asian American survey data shows that there is a widening gap between Chinese Americans and other Asian Americans on affirmative action.
While a majority of Chinese Americans now oppose affirmative action, we should also remember that many Chinese Americans (myself included) support holistic review and race-conscious affirmative action. Campus diversity benefits ALL students.
Also, we should remember that Chinese Americans make up only about one-quarter of the AA/NHPIs. Folks in the media must be careful not to allow the opinions of some Asian Americans to outweigh the rest of us. cdn.americanprogress.org/wp-content/upl…

So disappointed that this is how some activists in our community choose to engage their activism. | In fighting homeless camp, Irvine's Asians win, but at a cost latimes.com/local/lanow/la…
Many of these anti-homeless activists are middle-class and upper-middle-class East Asian Americans. Frustrating to see a lack of self-reflection on that class privilege.
Also, disappointed in the failure to interrogate the likely anti-blackness in this anti-homeless campaign: nearly 40% of LA county’s homeless population are Black. latimes.com/projects/la-me…

Sigh. This has been literally the full 18 years of Reappropriate’s existence. This is how a fringe group of AsAm masculinist extremists work to silence AsAm women and feminists.
(Sorry I tweeted this and then immediately went into an appointment requiring two hours of radio silence. I had more to say.)
EVERY Asian American woman of any fame — no matter how slight — appears to deal with an overwhelming onslaught of online harassment. This is an exceedingly common experience for us; yet one that is rarely openly discussed.
