“Wasian”? gross nonsense fetish term
theres a heap of white folks from asia so wtf do they mean, certainly not circassians
chapo episode where they do a reading series of an article by a eurasian (dutch-vietnamese) person
i wish i was chinese but not ethnically or racially (i dont care about that one way or another, tbh) i just covet that fucking citizenship
I wish it weren’t so difficult to get
One of the crummiest things about China, tbf
The first time hearing the term wasian and I’m Korean and Czech. Would have been nice for white people to have become a little more open minded a couple decades ago. Would have probably gotten in less fights with rednecks.
It could always be worse. They couldve ended up as Estonian-Indian
Pfp checks out
I don’t understand why polish-bangladeshi is supposed to be bad there are gorgeous people of both ethnicities and there would be some gorgeous mixed ethnicity people between the two as well if it were at all common, I assume it’s not but still.
there are gorgeous people of both ethnicities
Poland appreciation on Hexbear? This incident will be noted.
I imagine it is because they are culturally very distinct from the anglo japanese that most people mean when they say wasian
“I wish I was wasian”
Congrats you are now the successor of Elliott Rodgers instead of a Henry Golding or Eileen Gu
Andrew Cunanan erasure
I just wish I had a connection to a history. I’m a product of white supremacy accomplishing it’s goals. I have zero connection to my ancestors. I have no idea where I came from and neither do my parents. (Can’t ask them anyway. Not in contact). It fucking sucks ass.
It doesn’t really matter. There’s so many things about yourself as a person that you can build up all on your own, you don’t really need it. Not to denigrate people’s heritage or anything, but if you’re just an Anglo mutt it’s whatever. You are you, developing yourself outside of weird heritage stuff is far more important
You have connection to history as anyone else, there is nobody who is more and less historied. Moreover, even the idea of having a localized identity which may or may not be institutionally robust that used to highlight a regional socio-cultural and historical presence disintegrated in most of the world already and everyone exists in the permanent global present which has its own culture and subculture. Everyone looks for authenticity in this and some people are just more romanticized and some larp more than others, which depends entirely on their relation to permanent global present and not any genuine history that’s somehow more real than others.
Do you know anything about your ancestors beyond your parents? Pretty easy to do family history research just on your computer using findagrave or familysearch, both free. And of course contacting local historical societies once you get some names/dates. I’m one quarter Lebanese but the most interesting of my ancestors (including from a left wing perspective) have been the Germans. You might be surprised at what you find.
even if we did, you’re not part of a culture genetically, you’re part of it because you were raised in and participate in it.
If that culture is american hegemonic white supremacy and you reject it, there’s not really a replacement unless you can physically leave and assimilate somewhere.
Except those people make you who you are. I don’t consider myself “German” or “Lebanese” but seeing my ancestors who were anti-monarchists, liberal intellectuals during the time of the French Revolution, and then came to the USA and supported abolitionist causes, maybe I’m not a huge black sheep in my family. I’m sure I have a bone to pick with them in a lot of ways, but I can also see a clear line from them to me
there’s follow on effects from the people who raised the people who raised the people who raised you or whatever but it gets diluted pretty quickly and coca cola has more to do with our holidays than great grandma.
the only line for me is that they decided to be settlers and the united states still exist.
Going on one if them sites to see the vigorous history of Johann Gargleshitgietzballscrackermayo, the most famous of my ancestors from Bumblefük Switzerland, known for his excellent life of fish guts removal and dying of super herpaghonnasyphilaids, the black death, super cancer, and being executed by the duke for wearing his clogs wrong
Would you rather be related to wealthy aristocrats and capitalists?
you actually should, its pretty interesting to see how you got to where you are today.
History and legacy is for people that have it
White “”““people””“” have none and deserve to have none. Just be like me, a fellow whitoid and make our own history of badposts and furry smut from the ground up !
Lol same, that’s why I bury myself in ancient history books
