I would also like to posit that the reason more Asians could afford houses when that was a thing that was possible here, and can also afford to send their kids to school is because LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THE PACIFIC OCEAN YOU ARE NOT CROSSING THAT IN A DINGHY!!! Poorer Asians in Asia get stuck more often , barring refugees, just like poorer ones that ended up here where everyone tells us it’s a priveledge to be raped for our race get stuck.

Also, to be perfectly honest, you’re only poorer over here because all the housing is fake Airbnb stuff and you can only get certain jobs if your name isn’t a “normal, easy” name like Aeloui SniffleWalk McFuwbfkfk III, Jr. and you’ll be a polyglot college graduate stuck under illiterate bosses who give you 40 minute lectures about having a “troublesome, bad, wrong, difficult, impossible” name like “Li Yu” or “Ikeda Tarou” and get force-renamed without your consent if you actually get the job and don’t just get tossed in the shredder pile (or deleted by the algorithm these days, I suppose) so it’s a trade down from some places unless you come for some US branch high exec job.

Here’s a whole lot about how priveledged we are to be targets/s

The offenders here love to return to the US and pretend to know more about Japan than us filthy Asians and like to tell me that’s why they should be my friend

I want you to also mind here that in 2019, a local Sinophonic (they have a few Chinese languages) news channel in NorCal ran a story on how police refuse to help Asians, which is why I lost my home back in 2014 to racially motivated violent DV and murder attempts and the police just told me it wasn’t important, and I recently watched an Asian worker in the run-down, violence-filled building I live now be gaslit out of reporting a hate crime earlier this year (2021), so of course there’s no data on Asians. Even when the media was suddenly oh-so-shocked that they weren’t ignoring it anymore, the entirety of Western Society is just like English Tumbler, only blogging under SAH to disrupt and destroy our voices so they can continue gaslighting us that we deserve racism because we “never did anything”

While this article feels like it has to genuflect toward the end because we aren’t allowed spaces for ourselves by others, this is another good article, and do keep in mind that the entire modern system of immigration was created to criminalise Asians, who were also being used as a replacement for newly-banned slavery of Black people, all the bans on citizenship if one had Asian blood, and that the entire Anglosphere if not all of EuroAmerica, including English Tumbler, considers it just as much “leftist praxis uwu” as a right wing cause to carry this all out, call it love, and claim it’s totally not racism to deny this isn’t love. And that police won’t help you, and also the whole banning women in immigration from Asia, the West will then turn around and tell you “your backwards people thought women on ships were bad luck, that’s why” WHICH WAS ACTUALLY AN OLD EUROPEAN BELIEF CHINA HAD EARLY MEDICINE EVEN CENTURIES BEFORE EUROPE DEVELOPED LEECH TREATMENT AND HUMOURS (the “black bile” stuff)

Also, I’m Asian and trans male, which is another thing people tell me I’m priveledged to be oppressed for , and since I’ve lost my orientation because people only ever wanted me as a “weak” walking wallet despite me being poor as dirt thanks to AsAm “sticky floor” from the Wikipedia article, four languages and a college degree and I’m priveledged to be bottom rung under bosses who can’t spell “towel” in their only language of English and then tell me I’m stupid because my English isn’t native but it’s a priveledge to be treated this way because I’m Asian, so I don’t even have money, but I literally became aromantic due to trauma (Caedromantic) because partnerships have only ever been about racialised violence and using me for the money I don’t have, so I thought I’d add this. All the violence against me was because I’m Asian enough to capture and beat, so Asian trans man, forget about it.

I will tell you multiple likely reasons Asian men report violence less than Asian women cis or trans or any orientation:

1. Bog standard male DV survivors are hardly believed and usually have nowhere to turn for help, and widespread mockery and invalidation as well as being continued to be stuck with abuser and have to escape with no support whatsoever, save maybe a willing friend for the lucky.

2. Again, police do not serve Asians, or at least didn’t until this year

3. A lot of postwar Japanese immigrants are scared off from passing on language to their kids and families here before were already jailed as babies for being an “evil race.” Which America denied for decades until George Takei made it no longer deniable. So, very recently. America says “Japan is a hive mind of insects but in America, we celebrate difference—racism, sexism, ableism, queerphobia, and all that other stuff we exported are one big party!!!” but you are never more afraid of being the nail that sticks up than if you’re Asian or Latino in America, particularly as an immigrant yourself. I’ve been having deportation nightmares again despite citizenship for 23 years. This goes for everyone and all crime, not just male DV survivors.

4. Just like we’re brainwashed by 99% of non ALPOC that our Asianness and our Americanness can’t both be true, so it is with Asianness and masculinity. Remember what I said above about male DV survivors being ignored or made fun of? Racism posits us all as “effeminate”=“weak”=“undesirable”=“not a real man.” (And yes, of course that’s loaded with 30 other bigotries. You find bigots where you find bigots, surprise of the year/s) So you really think that incentivises reporting by Asian men unless they’re like me and have been done with all this abuse for decades!? Even I lost my wonderful home and never recovered because no one took me with my Asian name, Asian neighbourhood address (yes, a white racist literally stole an Asian’s home in an Asian neighbourhood, this is how our lives are. Online fetishisers of Japanese and Korean media are not our friends. They are closer to the Atlanta shooter or military rapists than they are to good or safe people) seriously. Police refused to help over several calls for several days and told me they had ‘important things to do uwu.’ Mind you this was only because my white, later, violent Nazi-loving, cousin pushed me to cal. No one cares when it’s Asians, that’s why no one reblogged Angelo Quinto’s death around Christmas 2020 same exact way as Floyd except right in front of his pleading mother in her home, and I’ve personally faced violence by Southern cops, but the “Asians can not be men” is also why you get overcompensating macho n-th gen AsAm guys. It’s not a great thing, machoism is always bad, but it is a reaction to racism. Those guys are super not gonna report.

Clearly, we are so priveledged to be gaslit and refused acknowledgement of all our suffering anywhere ever/s

And sorry this is so East Asian centric and not a lot on SE Asians who also face all this as well as all those targeted deportation raids by ICE no one cares about on top of that, sometimes committing suicide in the country they’ve not been since two months old, have no clue on, separated from spouses and children and all their families with no hope of reuniting, and all of us E/SE Asians are otherwise treated the exact same because people refuse to learn we’re not all the exact same single person because racism is inherently dehumanising and 100% OK to do to us in 2021 Anno Domini because we’ve totally progressed../s

Don’t forget SE Asians are more likely to come over as refugees, so same financial instability as me and a lot of Asians around me regardless of where we’re from or our parents were, come over poor, and poverty becomes inter generational. SE Asian Americans, a lot of times they end up nurses or home care aides around here, which hospital and nursing home nurse deaths were significantly Filipina, at least here, because that’s the best they can hope for ever.
