I believe that speaking out against racism, disparities and xenophobia is the ultimate show of respect. It shows our ancestors that their hard work is not in vain, that we understand all they had to overcome, and that they sacrificed their voice so we could find ours. We must stop the cycle of submission, and take on the mantle to fight for our rights and the rights of others. By opening the door for future generations, we can begin the process of healing. A few weeks ago, I participated in Define American’s Black + Gold Forum to discuss black and Asian relations. During the forum, the inimitable Nikole-Hannah Jones drove home that anti-blackness is part of the Americanization process that Asian families undergo upon arrival in this country. We’re taught that if we want to succeed in this country, we should not align ourselves with those that are on the “bottom,” but to align with the dominant culture — that proximity to whiteness will keep us safe. This Saturday, I got to participate with my dear friends alongside side my black and asian community for #asiansforblacklivesmatter protest march to dispel and dismantle the exact gaslighting, the narrative that the colonists put forward for their own benefit, which says that minority groups shouldn’t get along. It was emotional, inspiring, humbling to witness the love & am grateful that our solidarity remains unequivocally with our black sisters and brothers whose sacrifices led to the civil rights and privileges we benefit from.
