Re: I'm not going to dogpile you, OP

[(Anonymous)]

This is so stupid.

Yeah, they might make that mistake again. You know why? Because people sometimes look like other people.

I know there's that whole, "they all look the same" bullshit, but man, people make that kind of mistake with members of their own race. The truth is that, even though there is a lot of diversity between individuals, there's a lot of similarities as well, and sometimes enough things are similar (or strike someone as similar at first glance) that people fuck up. Telling someone that they can stop that by "watching more media with Asian casts" is disingenuous and honestly, I think it's more problematic than making a mistake.

Okay, let's assume it's an honest mistake and not racial at all. But... explain to me how people sharing recs for movies that feature Asian POCs or watching movies featuring more Asian POCs causes damage?

OP AGAIN.

I don't know if anybody will see this but I feel the need to explain a little further. I already said downthread what happened, that I was scrolling fast, thought I saw George Takei posing with Kim Jong Il, said "WHAT? Ohhhhh. Wow, that's terrible. I should make it a secret."

I was upset when I read the first few comments but honestly? Before I even scrolled down to read them, I looked at the secret and realized it was actually pretty awful. Because Kim Jong Il was a brutal dictator responsible for the suffering of millions, and Emily Takei was most likely a wonderful lady who suffered quite a bit in the internment camps. That, combined with the thought that George Takei would see this made me uncomfortable. So that's why I had it taken down.

I can see why people thought I was saying "all Asians look alike" but on the other hand, if I wanted to say that I would have made a secret saying that.

I'm getting out of this thread. I hope people see this.

Oh, and I wouldn't ever want to say that. And I'm not offended by people reccing Asian media. And NOW I'm leaving.

I don't think rec'ing or watching movies does any damage. I'm bothered by the idea that, if OP just watches some movies, then OP won't make the mistake of confusing one person of Asian descent with another again.

Re: I'm not going to dogpile you, OP

That comment was mine, and I got confused because I don't think I suggested that movies would fix the problem. I meant that if the OP were familiar with the wide range of diversity in Asian cultures, they likely wouldn't be so quick to mistake one Asian person for another. My response was very poorly phrased, and I apologize.
