Merf. Thinking is Hard.: On Jessica Hyun (warning: short, rambly, and unpolished)

So I only just heard about Hyun’s racist tweets today and decided to look her up because I had no idea who she was. Therefore, the first impression I had of Hyun is reading her twitter that calls for the genocide of black people. Great. 

I’m not surprised at all that this happened. It’s no secret that East Asians (my family included) are among the POC groups that spout the most anti-black rhetoric. White supremacy puts us near the top of the racial totem pole and throws us scraps like calling us “the model minority,” “the other white meat,” and pretends to treat us as slightly more human than anyone else whose skin is darker than ours. All which, of course, drives us to put down black people while we strive to maintain our false spot at the top. Centuries of cultural imperialism have conditioned us to believe that white is the color to be, white is the state to attain, and in order to achieve whiteness, we must trample over anyone standing in our way. 

Hyun is a product of everything I’ve rambled about in the above paragraph. She’s racist, she’s ignorant, she’s this she’s that, and most importantly she needs to get her ass kicked. 

It’s non-black POC like her that prevent POC solidarity from becoming a real, true thing. And I am sorry for it. 

Seriously, East Asians will drink that fucking whiteness Kool-Aid like it is holy water, just to feed some sense of superiority.

I know. I’ve been there. It is a deeply racist bigoted place.
