[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]

What a load of BS based on nothing but your own imagination.

To the different PP complaining about “Asian culture” -  Asia is huge and made up of many cultures.  I am Asian American, born and raised in America.  I have had so many people say things to me assuming I am a tiger parent, my kids prep or are in extracurricular academics.  None of that is true but the white people at our school assumed these things of us and it has been very isolating.  You need to stop stereotyping your neighbors.[/quote]
