janetgliang asked: Hi FY Asian Men staff, Could you spare a moment to help Janet Liang? If you don't know her story, she's a recent UCLA grad who's currently battling leukemia. She NEEDS to find a marrow match by this June. We're trying to mobilize the Asian American community to help her find a match, since minorities are heavily underrepresented in the donor pool. Could you reblog Janet's...

People with Yellow Fever don’t want to get to know Asian women. In fact, I would venture to say that they don’t care very much about Asian women at all. They are more concerned with the idea of us— the notion that we are adorable little kawaii girls or demure lotus flowers or geisha-like sexual objects. Their attraction to Asian women relies on stereotypes that turn us into exotic sexual objects...

Dr. Sarah Jones tweets about Black/Asian... →
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.

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...
