This is so painful to read. As if you are giving up the hope that the "Asian men are undesirable" categorization will ever end. I think it can but we need to do so much work. We need Asians to embody other characters in movies than the A+ student. We need them to play other roles, such as the bad boy every girl is after. We need to change the way Asian men are seen in media. It's not okay to keep reinforcing old stereotypes.

I loved this article! It's so personal, you're making yourself vulnerable and yet, you maintain a level of sarcasm? Not sarcasm but you don't let yourself be crushed by a white supremacist society. I hope you are doing okay! I can only imagine what it must feel like as an Asian-American to be reading daily news about the hate crimes against Asian-Americans.
