I quoted myself from the other day in order to clarify and avoid assumptions or confusion. But I suppose that only works if you actually read the quote. If your takeaway is that I am taking a neutral/passive stance, then you clearly didn't read what I said. Again:
Also, I didn't base that quote solely on the writer of that article, but on the posts of at least one other Asian person in that thread. Your argument is essentially listen to you about how Asians are impacted and/or feel, and not Asians who disagree with you. I'm not Asian. I don't live an Asian's life or have their experiences. That's why I try to hear what Asians are saying, and when there are conflicting opinions, I hope you can see how that causes confusion to someone who isn't Asian. Why should I give you more credibility than someone else who is also Asian but has a different opinion? Are you more Asian than them, that your opinion matters more and theirs should be discarded? Speaking for me, as a general rule, whenever someone relies on a stereotype for the basis of their argument, I don't give it much weight. Especially when that stereotype is used to dismiss anyone who disagrees.
