HOW TO SUPPORT THE ASIAN COMMUNITY
This post truly breaks my heart. Being full Filipina, the recent news of my fellow Asians being attacked is unacceptable. I grew up in a predominantly white neighborhood and have experienced racism. I’ve heard “Asian” jokes my whole life. Kids in my school would talk to me in a fake Asian accent or tease me and say I eat dogs. I never really let it get to me and I would just ignore them. Looking back at those experiences, I wish I stood up to them.
I am fighting for a future where we can appreciate everyone’s culture. I wanted to share organizations and fundraisers on how we can help. In addition to these websites and documents, standing up against racism is one thing we can do daily to protect each other.
