I need something like that in my life. A lot of them can be somewhat reactionary and sometimes a little right wing. Not always completely but I think sometimes it can get weird.

    By Asians do you mean Asian Americans or Asian Asians (lol)? I know my country’s subreddit and its sister subs moved to their own specific instance and racial politics is still very much prominent in our country.

      I know that sub is full of negativists’ complaints, but this title screams r/USdefaultism tbh.

    beehaw.org has a POC community and the mods are pretty strict on people not being dicks. They’re also looking to create some more communities for non-white folks. They’re often taking recommendations for new communities. They’d probably dig an AAPI community.

        True. You’ll need multiple accounts to post there.

    We can start one. 😉 I was a former citizen of PRC, now a US citizen. Where are you from?

      USA, AZ.

      If I may ask, why did you flee?

        Lol I didn’t “flee”, my parents have a relative in the US that filed a petition for family based immigration. One of the major reasons was because of economic issues which was exacerbated by the Hukou system, which means My parents and I were essentially treated like immigrants within our own country. We were from a rural village, and even though my parents were able to save up for an apartment in the city and got a job, they still weren’t considered an actual resident. No free public school for kids, no any sort of benefits from the city. They had to pay for me to go to a private school which had worse education than the public ones (even though the “patriotic education” element of it was essentially on the same intensity). So when I was around age 7 and second grade in China, the immigration petition got approved and we got immigration visas, family of four, Father, Mother, Older Brother, and me. Oh did I mention I was the second born during the One-Child Policy, yea my parents bribed a government official to turn a blind eye about her second pregnancy. She eventually had to be sterilized after my birth so the government can ensure she doesn’t give birth to a third child.

        So anyways, after a connection flight in Seoul, we arrived in JFK Airport. So here we are, in the US, and got naturalized a little more than 5 years after arrival.

        Did you know how long the visa petition wait list was? More than 13 years! That’s longer than the time I’ve been here! (I’ve been here about 12 years approaching 13 years.) The immigration petition was filed before I was even born!

          This sounds really messed up, among everything

          Yeah China and India got some very long backlog because of the 7% per country policy

            On the bright side, I’m still alive. I guess killing someone that has already been born is harder to justify than killing me while I was still a fetus.

            But you know what the worst thing was? She STILL BELIEVES IN CCP PROPAGANDA! So does my dad. I’m like y’all have no hope. Too far gone. Everytime they paise the CCP I’m just like “Oh so you think they should’ve killed me?”. At least now whenever someone spews CCP propaganda, I’ll just say “You know, the CCP tried to kill me…”
