THE MOST RUSSIAN NAME OF ALL TIME

lzzzbth:

so

caitlin moran legitmately just told me that she could not give a shit about the representation of WOC. SHE JUST SAID THOSE EXACT WORDS. as one of the most prominent feminists in the UK today, her particular brand of white middle class feminism is THE FUCKING PITS AND I HATE HER. please excuse my rage but CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS.

her book is called ‘how to be a woman’. HOW TO BE A FUCKING WOMAN.

can i not be a woman if i think representation of WOC in modern media is really important? more important than the representation of white women?

fuckkkkk her

I’m so disappointed in this you-aint-even-fame-enuf-2-be-verified-shit.

Study of the Day: There’s a ‘Bamboo Ceiling’ for Would-Be Asian Leaders

New research suggests that assertive Asian-Americans may be penalized for not adhering to racial stereotypes that peg them more as meek followers.

PROBLEM: Compared to their proportion of the North American population, East Asians are overrepresented in universities and in many professional settings. Still, why are they less likely to be promoted to leadership positions compared to Whites and other racial minorities?

METHODOLOGY: University of Toronto researchers Jennifer L. Berdahl and Ji-A Min conducted four experiments to look into this so-called “bamboo ceiling.” In one trial, they asked survey respondents to read the human-resource record of a business consultant whose last name was either Sutherland or Wong before indicating how much they would like to have the employee as a co-worker. The file also included different supervisor assessments on the employee’s assertiveness, agreeableness, and leadership potential.

RESULTS: The dominant East Asian employee was more disliked than the non-dominant East Asian employee, the non-dominant White employee, and the dominant White employee. A separate experiment showed that participants held descriptive stereotypes of East Asians as being competent, cold, and non-dominant, while another showed that the most valued expectation of East Asians was that they “stay in their place.”

CONCLUSION: East Asians who don’t conform to racial stereotypes are less likely to be popular in the workplace. “In general, people don’t want dominant co-workers,” says Berdahl, “but they really don’t want to work with a dominant East-Asian co-worker.”

IMPLICATION: Berdahl says managers and coworkers should be wary of this tendency against East Asian employees that exhibit leader-like behavior. She says, “The bias lies within observers and it’s ultimately their responsibility.”

SOURCE: The full study, “Prescriptive Stereotypes and Workplace Consequences for East Asians in North America,” (PDF) is published in the journal Cultural Diversity and Ethnic Minority Psychology.

I don’t need an article or researchers to tell me this, so why does it hurt so much to read?  

Just letting my Asian sisters and brothers out there know that you shouldn’t sip on that Korporate Kooler Kool-Aid anymore and be content.  Stand up and do whatever the fuck you need to do.  The Korporate ladder wasn’t made for you, except inkorporated you as a step rung, so fucking tear it down and burn it to fuel your cold nights.

I’m sick of this whole Asians hating on Asians; Asians surrounding themselves with only white people and embarrassed by other Asians; Asians who only want to date white people; etc. when there’s a BIGGER PICTURE of historical, institutional RACISM that turns you against your self.  Has society really done such irrevocable damage on you that you are ashamed to speak to your own mother in public?  You don’t win ANYTHING from denying love to the people who raised you and look like you.  Your hate doesn’t protect shit.  It don’t protect you.  It doesn’t place you any higher on the ladder.  And it’s not worth living life as The Token to become The Exception—because, well, that shit’s a damn lie that Asians everywhere sacrifice their livelihoods for.  Look that vicious cycle in the eye.  Is that the only thing that makes you happy?  Or is it the only way you’ve ever known how to live, to get by in this world?  Because you know, it’s never too late to do something different.

So go for it.  And take care.  I want to support and love you.  And I wish you the best, and I’ll be waiting for you to get there.  

I was so happy and feeling productive until conversation of Cloud Atlas came up.

And its use of YELLOW-FACE as PROGRESSIVE? BRILLIANT?

…backwards.

I didn’t even know about this shit, and I was at peace with my self right now.

I spent 10 seconds of my life making this in MS Paint.

And now I’m moving on with my damn Mongoloid self, okay? #OverIt
