That is an entirely other, deeply rooted issue at play, but I wouldn't be surprised if they use it as a mechanism to look down on Blacks as inferior - that said - the majority of them are DARK skinned.

Asians don’t even stand up for themselves dudes are brainwashed having to play the model minority role to mingle amongst the whites
Nov 28, 2019·1 replydiorKing!! I f***ing love this and glad you took the effort to express this. I have no hatred towards the Asian community in fact majority of my friends are either black OR Asian and I’ve been having this discussion with them amongst ourselves as well but wanted to see ktt’s take
Appreciate all you said and agreed, I was wondering if any AsAms felt this way
Really, thanks
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I've always been willing to have this discussion, but it seems like our communities don't want to do that. There's not even much of a platform to do so. Wish I knew you in person so we could have this talk face to face.
As an Asian-American kid growing up around the time of the LA riots, I knew about the tension between our communities at an early age. It always saddened me because most of the kids I hung out with were black, but I also saw hostility and passive-aggressiveness going on among the older folks.
I know a lot of the Asian grownups would tell me and other Asian kids things about being careful of black people and other BS like that. It's like they made the terms "criminal" and "black" synonymous.
When I become a father myself, I'm never resorting to that. That's for sure. I hope my fellow Asian-American people of our generation don't either.

It gets weirder when they have virtually no issue with white people loving the same culture - is it because they want reciprocation and approval from them? All I can think of.

When do we stand up for Asians?
Black folks usually call out racism in any way shape or form even when it’s not targeted at us.
We do that cuz we know what it’s like first hand and sympathize with other races who go through it even though we don’t get that same love back a lot of the time
Nov 28, 2019canondon't box me like that chief, that's disrespectful and dismissive.
I didn’t mean it in a disrespectful way. Obviously we’re all way more than our ktt political views, but that’s kinda your classification on here. Really distinct from “right wing trump” is what I’m trying to say

I will say I’ve seen white peoples get called out for appropriation but it’s never as bad as with us.
And it’s crazy cuz as a black kid growing up I usually gravitated towards Asian cinema and shows and s*** cuz I felt like even though they weren’t directly speaking to our issues I could still relate.
But I’m just a nigga with Chinese cousins so
Nov 28, 2019·1 replyVersettiSaying it's a win for non black POC is disrespectful. Asian Americans has been treated like a monolith, and historically been used as a tool by white people.
The model minority myth is often used as a cudgel against other poc. The MMM is a specific construct emerging in mid-60’s against the backdrop of Jim Crow dismantlement & Black people’s growing demands for political equity.
During this period, rather than addressing these demands thru structural changes or social reorg, the Johnson administration released a report which essentially blamed Black poverty on dysfunctional families and asserted it as inherent to Black culture itself.
Simultaneously, Asian-Americans were juxtaposed as a group of immigrants who self-sufficiently moved ahead w/o outside help, self-disciplined, hard-working, submissive. a racial minority that could seamlessly assimilate without making demands for institutional change.
Within this Cold War context, the model minority embodied the Protestant work ethic of obedience, individualism, and loyalty to the nuclear family. as opposed to international solidarity or social consciousness as advocated by Black radicalism.
That’s how that model minority construct and the Asian-American desire for assimilation operates and continues to operate in the service of white supremacy, even to this day.One of the most detrimental effects of the model minority myth is that it treats all Asians in the US as a monolith, rendering invisible those that don't fit the narrative. In NYC, for ex, AsAms suffer from the highest poverty rate of any racial group

ElliniaBecause everybody benefits off of having a common punching bag. POC solidarity doesn't exist for this very reason. Many people need somebody to look down on to feel better about themselves, and they often aren't even aware of this. That's how the hierarchy in racism is set up. You're mexican/asian? Well at least you're not black, type of mentality is profitable. As long as there is someone beneath you you will always have something to pride yourself in, and profit off of it. People struggle to admit this though because they're directly benefitting of such a mentality, and adressing it threatens the illusion. As long as black people believe in POC solidarity they'll fight other people's battles as well, while the efforts stay one sided. It's a win-win situation for non black POC.
lol idiot. Blacks are higher up then asians and mexicans

I'm aware of the model minority myth. It might be disrespectful to you, or many others, but that doesn't change that what I said is true. In this society you benefit off of not being (visibly) black. I grew up around many asian people and one of my best friends is asian. Despite me being such good friends with this girl for years, her parents to this day don't want me hanging out with her because I am black. Mind you, I'm 5'3 and petite as f***, but they genuinely believe that hanging out with black people is a bad influence on their daughter. These same parents have no issue with her befriending white people, male or female and my friend has a lot of half white family members.
Wether people like to admit it or not, in current society being anything but black is already considered an achievement. Being viewed as a monolith is something black people deal with as well, and I'm aware being considered a model minority isn't good at all trust me, but asians undeniably play a role in upholding the system that views black people as less than. Having your own struggles does not mean you can't have a hand in fueling other peoples struggles. It's a win win because a certain group is fighting for your struggles, while you also benefit from upholding the struggles of that same group.

I see so many reasons that Black and Asian people should have some of the strongest solidarity out of all of our large POC world. Whether its bonding through how atrociously we've been treated throughout history, because I know, Asians have far from had it good either - or - just rallying together to stop the divide and focus on bringing down the "real" enemy.
Solidarity should be a first thought, I know so many white people who weaponize their proximity to Asians and go on about how asians love them so they can treat them any type of way but I rarely see Asians standing up for THEMSELVES when this sort of stuff happens and I always assume its cause they value that proximity as it lets them operate in white space aka better chances in life - even as far as marrying a white person as a status symbol. Not saying people dont marry out their race for love but Ive known asian girls specifically date white guys because they shame their own men.
thats another issue, we both as different communities face separate issues but also have something differing us from communicating together as brothers and sisters but that s*** needs to be dead because at the end of the day
who the f*** is the one looking down on us all? we both know

RX Nigerian PastorI wish more black people learned that every race on the planet is racist towards us.
That defending every other race against racism has gotten us no where, nor has it helped us any.
100%, it’s been like that forever but the rise of the term “POC” got people thinking all minorities in this s*** together.
Nah bro. Personally my worst racist experiences came from Asian and and Latinos. Try to date one of they daughters and see how quick that s*** jump out. Or like op said, just watch how quiet they get when some f*** s*** happening to the black community.
Niggas gotta learn bro. These people not your friend.
