[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Speaking of “white culture,” [b]more people need to call out the “white-adjacent” thing as being racist in its own right[/b]. No, Asians aren’t white, and no one would mistake an Asian for one. Why group Asians with white people then? Feels like an attempt to trivialize Asian issues and also justify discriminating against Asians.[/quote]

Asians are not white but are very much 'white adjacent. Hell, Asian people deep down have fought to be white adjacent. Furthermore, asian people like being grouped with white people. LOL!

[b]In America you are treated based on your proximity to whiteness.[/b]

For example, do you really think it's a conidence that so many White men are married to asian women compared to Black and Hispanic women?

The majority of White men married to asian women would have not married their asian wives if their wife was black or hispanic. People are not colorblind and people do recognize patterns.

I've had white people straight up tell me this.[/quote]

Maybe Asians should be the ones determining whether “white-adjacent” is an acceptable term to describe Asians? Do we let white people dictate what terms should be used to describe black people?

It reeks of Latinx. Latino/Hispanic people hate the term yet people continue to use it. “White-adjacent” is the Asian “Latinx.”[/quote]
