Because Dr. Sarah Jones is dope. And Asian Americans and Black Americans have a long history of sticking together under racial oppression, and in the face of the Jenny Hyuns & Floyd Mayweathers, we need to remember that. And Calvin Ho of http://www.plaidbag.org (@calvinhyj) is not only dope, but also extremely attractive.
Executive Order 9066 →
Today is the 70th anniversary of the signing of Executive Order 9066, which allowed Japanese Americans to be put in internment camps. “Relocation centers” In America. Their own country. There’s no blood and death, but clicking the link and looking through the pictures hurt. It makes me sad to see people of color displaying patriotism in a land that has repeatedly shown it...

It’s official: white people can time-travel and teleport themselves to locations where the chances of running into one of their lily-white asses are ZERO. Like my Asian movies. Case in point?

I love objectifying men as much as the next gal (or guy), but I’ve got a slight problem with these blogs that just post pics of hot Asian guys with no name or ethnicity, no hint of whatever it is not-related-to-sexiness that they’re contributing to the world. I understand that sometimes you just…

It can be subtle and carefully threaded into everyday conversation and action. It can also be deadly, as the tragic torture and death of Private...
rosasharon asked: As a queer Asian American man who's quite consistently fetishized in a predominately white gay community I don't much appreciate all this talk of letting ign'ant shit slide just because there was "good intent."
