She never talks about this time, but my assumption is she witnessed some difficult things during civil rights in the south and herself experienced profound racism. Like many Asians, her tactic was to not rock the boat, work hard and obey the “man.” There was safety in ducking her head so she herself wouldn’t be a target. She worked very hard to achieve a level of success as a small business owner. However, this is a key example of the “model minority” myth that created a riff between Blacks and Asians. The perception of universal success among Asian-Americans is wielded to downplay racism's role in the persistent struggles of other minority groups, especially black Americans. Society has a flawed comparison between Asian Americans Black Americans, to argue that racism, including more than two centuries of black enslavement, can be overcome by hard work and strong family values—it does not really work that way in this system. This argument is the idea that black failure and Asian success cannot be explained by inequities and racism, and that they are one and the same; this allows a segment of white America to avoid any responsibility for addressing racism or the damage it continues to inflict. I will not not be pitted against my black friends and family. Black culture is apart of all our cultures. Black justice is justice for all. #asiansforblacklives #georgefloyd #blm #asians4blacklives 🖼 @monyeeart」6月7日 5時50分
