Not The Meg Vs Nicki Beef Making It To Tumblr

Let’s talk about white privilege. 

I know this is different from what I normally put on here, but this is something that needs to be addressed. I am biracial—half white and half Asian—though because of my appearance, I am hardly ever labeled as white. As someone who is not white passing despite being white, while I experience other forms of privilege, I do not often experience white privilege and have been on the receiving end of hate and racism more times than I can count even when living in what is supposed to be a more sheltered area. For those of you who might comment that you are tired of seeing politics in art, let me remind you that: 

1) I am tired of being discriminated against just because of my race. I am tired of being called slurs, I am tired of people pulling their eyes back to mock my heritage, and I am tired of stereotypes that plague the Asian community stemming from ignorance and hate. These examples just barely scratch the surface.

2) art has always been tied to politics somehow, and there have been countless instances where it’s been used to make political statements. This is no different. 

3) racism is a humanitarian issue that has been radicalized for political gain, and it’s something that everyone should be actively aware of regardless of your race. 

If you have questions, notes, critiques, etc, comments will always be open as well as DMs so long as you are respectful. This is coming from my viewpoint as well as a few other POC creators and a number of resources, the links of which I can share through DMs if anyone’s interested in taking a read. I have been quieter on matters for my main feed due to safety concerns as a minor, but I’ve had enough at this point. What happened yesterday was unacceptable and the most blatant example of white privilege I have probably seen in my lifetime. It’s time to speak up.

To be fair:

MAPPA said it was the FINAL SEASON, not the FINAL PART. 😉

Currently re-reading the promised neverland manga because the anime ain’t it rn 😬

PLEASE stop with the unnecessary hate. Mappa has done SO GOOD, they’ve done an amazing job at capturing the emotion that goes along with these scenes that we’ve been anticipating for so long. Yes they leave some things out, but the animation, the music, everything is perfect. You can prefer WIT over Mappa if you’d like, but the hate is so unnecessary because y’all know they’re doing a great job either way. I know they won’t drop the show, I’m so grateful that they picked it up when no one else would, but I’m scared that maybe they’ll delay it or drop it if it becomes to stressful. We should welcome this change positively, even with the flaws, we should be grateful that Mappa is working hard for us and was willing to pick it up so we would be able to see some of our favourite scenes animated.

“Well John, if they are not going to make a distinction between Muslims and violent extremists, why should I take the time to distinguish between decent fearful white people and racists?”

you really CAN. NOT. argue with that.

I literally felt nothing after my high school graduation it probably hasn’t kicked in yet 🤷🏾‍♀️

high school is soo funny in hindsight. the entire time you're there thinking it's the most important period of your life and then the second you're out you're like well that was fucking stupid
