This is what happens to someone when they raise their voice against Israeli injustice and racist policies perpetuated against Palestinians. Watch as a Palestinian activist protesting against the appropriation Of Palestinian land brutally attacked by Israeli occupation forces in Masaferr, near Hebron today. It's simply unbelievable how masses of people actually support Israel! Shame on you!!! #FreePalestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸 Reposted from @khatijasuleman

——— A little discussion on race? I’ve always thought a lot about the terrifying topic of “race”. We do not like to comment on it, we prefer seeing no “race”, we shy away from the difficult intricacies. All these thoughts came back to me after watching #shangchi . Surprisingly, as a non-ABC, I do feel inspired by the movie. There’s so much to explore in our Asian culture, so much to be grateful for. Then I came across many passages with the hashtag #Asianpride, and I began to wonder is it only appropriate because “Asians” is often broadly categorised as “middle situated” in the hierarchy of “race superiority” in mainstream media? Because we have a history of being suppressed? It’s intriguing to think that a post hashtagging #Whitepride instead would attract a lot of hate. So - can pride only be justified by sufferings, and not everyone is entitled to (publicly declaring) being proud of their racial identity? I’ve been subjected to racial discrimination before, eg being thrown eggs on the streets/ asked to “be with your own kind” at a club. While I could call myself a “victim”, should I hate on the fact that we’re “distinguished” by races? Somehow ironically, I am proud of my own race, does that make me a “racist”? Should all of us just be ONE race? These are all very sensitive topics that everyone avoids, because we all like to be politically correct. We slowly sulk and form our own close minded thoughts. Although I did wish, so hard, since young that there’s a magic recipe uprooting discrimination, and that we can be proud of our identities while making peace with the world… Sadly there’s none. Things like this need to be discussed, reviewed, and disseminated to deepen human’s understandings towards an often “scary” topic. It’s 2021, yet we are still very, very far away from achieving racial harmony. 變幻中必須忍耐，may different kinds of changes salvage us. PS some photos of the city I dearly love. There’s been so many changes, but you’ll always be my root, my home 🏠. #just_somewords

【終極Racist密技——想一想，好好說】 我們看過很多人，從媒體到身邊的同學朋友，都把「老+番+顛」當成在描述一種狀態，彷彿這其中的歧視不存在；當然我們都知道，這一類貶抑的負面語彙，本來就是帶入負面形容來指涉一種負面意涵，老+番+顛之所以強大，是因為它強化了社會對於老人的刻板印象，也連帶強化「番」的負面意涵。追溯言語的歧視架構，你會發現這一類語彙都是歧視的典型——基於人的身分或年齡來歧視他們，並且是瘋癲的，因為這些人的身分跟外在本身，就是一種非人的、不文明的形象。 有人會說，沒有啊，是因為某些人做了某些事，我才要這樣說他們啊。噢，可是，為什麼原住民族就要被你拖下水呢，為什麼老人就一定是愚笨遲緩呢，就算老人因為年齡與身體的退化無法達到你的要求，你該注意的是從專業醫囑去注意他們的身心，而不是將情緒發洩在歧視語彙上，不是嗎？ 希望我們都能放棄使用這種終極歧視密技，在語言的關卡上，想一想，好好說，學習如何好好對待彼此。 年紀到了就該認老？傷人，也終將傷已的年齡歧視（上）： https://twstreetcorner.org/2014/10/21/wengchihyuan/ #終極Racist密技 #想一想 #好好說
