亚裔与中国人

我能理解你的想法，我曾经也有这样的担心。
后来觉得还是应该坚定的跟AAPI站到一起，不管怎么样，外国人不会觉得有区别的。
比如Black American通过平权来获取权利，从非洲来的黑人是不是也受益？你会特地去区分谁是Black American，谁是非洲来的吗？

何况我们的下一代迟早要面对这些问题，支持他们也是为我们的下一代铺路。

退一步讲，如果美国社会接受了Asian American是American天然的一部分，一代移民至少还能通过练英语健身play into it.
如果人家一直觉得Asian American都是外来的，那看脸就能歧视你，不管一代还是二代，谁都不好过。

不存在我们不理解他们，因为他们本来就强势的多，抱大腿还来不及呢。。。我也不真的care aapi怎么看我们 ...

是的 斗争的时候站到一起 情感上不强求
我们公司的Asian Network也是平时不怎么搭理Chinese Network，但是碰到关键问题，还是能默默支持
我跟他们打交道的时候能感觉到，情感很subtle，但是有默契

前段时间看到fb的一个越南朋友呼吁她的其他朋友不要因为仇视某党就把亚裔遭受歧视的锅全部甩到中国人身上来 ...

其实其他亚裔还是能想明白的，外国人看脸歧视，把自己摘出去也只是一个笑话，前段时间在公司为那个Youtube的视频抗议的时候，很多亚裔，台湾裔，香港裔，韩裔，越南裔都很积极。

情感上不能强求大家都那么伟大，但是被欺负一次以后，大家就明白了，不得不绑在一起抗争。
1982年的Vincent Chin是Chinese为Japanese背锅。现在是Chinese的锅，还能怎么办，一起背呗，哪天没锅了，就不用绑在一起了。

单纯的别人问你where are you coming from，肯定不会觉得歧视，我有遇到过，我说从波士顿来，然后人家问，你一直都在波士顿么，我说我5年前从中国来，然后那个人一脸满意，make sense的感觉，就稍微让我有点offend的感觉

确实 只是一个redflag 还需要结合上下文来看。

看了看前面的发言，感觉在美中国人就像越战中的美国黑人士兵。白人士兵类比成谁呢？那就是美籍亚裔。两种人为了同一个目标并肩奋斗，但是他们平等吗？不。

那奋斗的果实由谁来享用呢？当然是白人。可悲。

俺加黑了一部分，但是建议摘出来的全部看完

“Where are you from?” This benign question is commonly asked during social interactions, and the answer often leads to interesting conversations with strangers or acquaintances. But what if an answer like “Lincoln, Nebraska,” “Baltimore, Maryland,” or “Modesto, California” does not suffice for the questioner? Indeed, ethnic minorities, especially Asian Americans and Latino/as, are often asked follow-up questions like, “No, where are you really from?” or “I meant, where are you originally from?". At least under some circumstances, experiences such as these may be perceived by some ethnic minorities as a message that they do not share the American identity or have in-group status; therefore, these experiences may have negative implications for their identity and adjustment. Thus, in a series of three studies involving three major American ethnic minority groups, we sought to demonstrate that members of ethnic minorities are aware of this perpetual foreigner stereotype, and this awareness is linked to their sense of belonging to American society, sense of conflict between ethnic and national identities, and psychological adjustment.

Although the United States is historically an immigrant nation with an ethnically and culturally diverse population, members of ethnic minority groups are often innocuously denied the American identity and treated as if they were perpetual foreigners.” This especially is evident in recent research that shows an overwhelming propensity to more readily ascribe the American identity to European Americans rather than to ethnic minorities. Even when ethnic minorities are explicitly judged to be American, implicitly, in the minds of both European Americans and some ethnic minorities (Asian Americans and Latino/as), being “American” is equated with being White.

The assumption that ethnic minorities do not fit the definition of what it means to be American may manifest itself in subtle, covert marginalizing incidents, such as questioning an individual’s home-town, complimenting his/her command of the English language, or mistaking him/her as a foreigner . These behaviors comprise a contemporary form of racism called racial microaggression, whereby racism is disguised in supposedly benign behaviors and comments (e.g., Where are you from?) that convey strong messages of exclusion and inferiority. Even when the intent of perpetrators, who can be of any ethnic or racial group, is not malicious or racially motivated, it is in these seemingly harmless occurrences that ethnic minorities are told that they are somehow less American than European Americans.

的确一般人也没那个底气叫非裔滚回去，毕竟他们不是自愿来的。

这句话莫名地很搞笑 😂
