    I’m an Asian descent, and I absolutely approve the use of this term.

    Also, as an Asian descent, I must say: you don’t represent us, so stop getting offended on other people’s behalf.

      I don’t want to be a useless white person that doesn’t call out racism, I’d rather be wrong than perpetuating centuries of hatred. Maybe it’s shifted now but when I was a teenager ~15yrs ago it wad a shitty thing to say that was absolutely a negative thing, like calling someone a f*ggot. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

            This is what I’m talking about. You think you’re entitled to do what you want as long as you feel righteous about it.

            I don’t represent every single Asian descent, but at least I represent one, which is myself. Who do you represent, again?

              This would be like coming in here, as an african-american and saying that everyone can use the n-word. I don’t have to listen to something that patently goes against the prevailing opinion of most african-americans. And I would be remiss not to point out to someone who isn’t black that you shouldn’t do that. That discourse has been done to death that white people need to call out racism. Just like men need to call out sexism. That’s not entitled, that’s just trying to live in a world free from prejudice.

              But anyway, bye 👋

        Thank you!

        God, I am just so sick of people being high and mighty by being pissed at some shit they know nothing of from their ivory tower while the people they’re “trying to help” don’t even see it as an issue.
