thinking bout in past, we always lov talkimg about our language n culture in discord servers as it so very important to us n it same as infodumping anything else.
but always mad n frustrated, cuz either its
A. extreme dissintrest n only 1 person show intrest
B. Face absolute fucking racism cuz of.
cuz you see, we southeast asian, we camboddian, our language look like this.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It not considered "pretty asian language", it considered "freaky scary demonic foreign". Every single time someone say "it look like gummy worms" or loose their shit about how "weird" it is.
---
1
the worst situation was when in server about original species and we went on ramble about khmer language cuz someone showw intrest.
Then we said how learning online, basic book, and little with parents cuz no khmer language books or anything cambodian related At All in libraries n not many resourses much. Our big sis said how when she was younger, there was flat out Nothing online, and now theres at least tiny tinyy bit
But when said that, fucking white person said "dont learn language online, learn from history book". we already said Why we cant, and since they literally said "history book", clearly they dont know SHIT about cambodian history or even bothered googling "cambodia/khmer" alone (a literal genocide which wiped out lot of art n culture shit, it literal reason why our parents even in USA in first place. it literally first thing that pops up if you type cambodia/khmer)
So fucking saying that at all is gross. Telling anyone to "learn from history book" is fucked up, Shut up.
-
So when we literally restated reason Why and Why saying it is fucked, they ignored us and said "your attacking me and being mean!!!" because.... we didnt use tone indicator... Even after saying "it my fault for not tone indicating but point still stands", they just ignored
(hate how often tone indicators are so very weaponized in these situations, we personally need tone indicators too, please ppl stop weaponizing n use as "ur mean!!!" 4 calling something out)
But not moments later, some other person goes "omgg im learrning korean on duolingo!!!" and they fucking congratulated them????
sigh
(if want learn more, watch Funan on netflix or read the book it based on, and/or look up khmer rouge, edit: theres also documentary The Killing Fields, forgot to include)
---
2
So then we talked about Nāgas (នាគ Neak in khmer) cuz topic of dragons were brought up so we talked about them. Serpents important to our culture and many southeast asian cultures, we said that
Tumblr media
but then was told by mod to censor/stop talking about it cuz the word "looks like the N slur".
really just,,,, cannot express how uncomforable n angry we were.
---
3
So thenn it all sort of boiled over
Pretty much tried standing up for self n friend helped us, tried to educate about how their behavior towards us was gross, many ppl who stood back (and seem agree with us) left server, but 99% of server was loud and lost their shit when we n friend told them that white ppl dont experience racism
Someone even said "i disagree with u" then turned around n said "im learning chinese from a friend!!!!" while were right here literally being stepped on in real time about talking about own language and culture.
(stuff like descrimination is nuanced, lot of intersection. A purely white person with monolids may face anti-asian hate, mixed white ppl may face racism too, etc etc. but that all still based in POC hate or assumed POC status, not on whiteness, white fucking supremecy, not facing bad shit cuz of being white, youre litterally benefiting from it but harmed in other wayz in intersections cuz of what it entails. god.)
So yeah, they all lost their shit, we left.
We even told owner how to fix n deal with these issues, they did the complete opposite, banning ALL discussion of culture n race.
This happened around 2021-2022 thinks so.
---
anyways, yeah. Just wanted to get this out as its AAPI month n soon is "speak your language day" n we will be making posts in khmer, and us being more open about us being cambodian as well as disabled, queer, level 2 autistic, other stuff.
We never see rep of own culture n people in ANY media at all, not once. None in the USA care about the language or culture unless own people. None really care about anything asian that is not east asian, n seeing these white ppl flustered over our east asian brethren but grossed at ppl like me, frustrating.
White ppl, stand up for your poc friends and strangers especially if being targeted, speak out if someone being weird about shit.
ppl like us not always able to realize or have voice to stand up, have another post about it here. If this happened IRL, wouldnt be able to do anything. Only close friend stood up for us, the other ppl who agreed w us didnt do anything, just left n gave us "kind message" after about how fucked th plac was..
so yeah, plz do better.
[plz reblog]

Meet the Artist: @joshualunacreations
Hi, I’m Joshua and I’m a professional comic book writer and artist. I co-created three series at Image comics: Ultra, Girls, and The Sword. After I went solo with my Image series Whispers, I started making online comic strips exploring my Filipino/Asian American identity and experiences. What began as a side project and organic outlet to process my thoughts and feelings turned into a seven-year journey that continues to this day. The more I write and draw, the more I realize I have to say—especially with the sharp increase in anti-Asian violence against AAPI and the institutional censorship that prevents us from addressing it adequately. I was told by my publisher that I wasn’t talking about AAPI issues in the “right way” because I tackle difficult, complex, and painful truths about Asian America. Despite these barriers, I’m determined to collect these strips into a book and publish them as Americanizasian. In the meantime, you can follow and share my work online and support me by pledging to my Patreon or donating to my PayPal. Happy APAHM!
Pleased to meet you, Joshua! He has shared some of his comics below for you all.

I made it just in time! My contribution for AAPI month: Immy in a Filipiniana inspired by gumamela (hibiscus)
it’s not the Philippines’ national flower, but it’s nostalgic to me as it was the flower that grew in front of my childhood home before we immigrated to the US. I thought the petals would make a beautiful skirt
