I see it, really - I do. But: the use of extensions/hair pieces at the expense of the poor and under-aware supercedes race: sure, black women have been known for our wigs and pieces for conformity*, but the lush manes of white celebrities and wealthy people? Same places, dyed in different ways. Lush locks on Asian…

That must have made for some wonderfully entertaining editorial meetings.

While we’re on the topic of “where the hair comes from”.

If you’re white, the rules are 1. Listen 2. Amplify 3. Shield. That’s all that’s expected. Everyday. Protests or no protests. If you are white, please, for once in your privileged life, Listen, Amplify, Shield. You’ll be amazed at what you learn when you take a back seat and let someone else do the driving. 

I think the problem with your post is that as I read on, it eventually became clear that you don’t genuinely care about the extent to which women of African descent are injured by European beauty ideals; you’re primarily invested in defending Asian women against exploitation that you believe is being driven by black…

LOL at the people who have apparently never filled out any form that includes race information, because apparently they’ve never seen the “White (non-Hispanic)“ checkbox.

Just think if they’d actually did a search on your name and “colorism”, how it would have totally negated the need for an essay on how you’re “missing” the whole story?

The best time to speak out about injustice was from the beginning.

Tell your friend that while anti-Asian racism is still a huge problem, we have also reaped the benefits of being “white-enough” and a “good minority” in many cases. That’s before we even get into the ways our community has latched onto anti-black racism in the US and helped perpetuate a system that oppresses black…

As a dark skin asian person, I am defiantly look down upon in countries such as China and Korea. Over there, being as white as possible is the beauty standard over there. So the whiter you might be the more beautiful you’re considered. It’s actually pretty annoying. Even worse is everyone sort of judges you behind…

The same should also be repeated for the “White Hair” stigma as well. Black women and women of color from all countries have this drilled into their heads as well.

Are you trying to say all lives matter?

Maybe you like me are an Indian? Then you should be aware of anti-blackness in our community. Being anti-racist takes work that we wish people would do on our behalf in a way that benefits us. For too long, the Indian American community has sat by and enjoyed the model minority stereotype while also experiencing…

I was told that if you’re white and you want to participate in civil disobedience, the rules are 1. Listen 2. Amplify 3. Shield. Your main job is to make sure you are listening and learning, doing what you can to keep the message from not having any recipient. Just because you’re on the right side of history, it…

This is what being an ally is and I hope more white celebrities (and muggles) take note. Throwing out a tweet takes little to no effort but taking that platform and allowing it to be used by the people that SHOULD be heard is what everyone should do. Using one’s white privilege to prop up Black voices (and other…

As long as people agree to carry the message, it resonates. It doesn’t matter if they understand it or wholly agree. What matters is famous people and brands put it out to the public and now they can’t take it back without damaging their image. Rapists are sitting in jail now because people who wouldn’t otherwise…

I like this idea. They are not just using their reach and influence to say things that may or may not appear performative, they are pretty much giving their own voice to people who do not really have one, and letting them speak their truth.

Assuming that this is a real product that has been bought three dozen times, I’m betting they were all bought ironically by MAGAts who plan on burning them in TikTok videos they’ll share on Stormfront, or whatever thirsty racists do to get attention these days. I can’t imagine any sane person seeing this and thinking…

That looks like an article from The Onion...
