Did you know Filipinos are considered Asian American & not Pacific Islander, at least when filling out certain U.S. Government forms? Meanwhile, how Filipinos identify varies. Thanks for your scholar + work @professorjro @ChingChingTan2 @KyoungMiChoi

It's AAPI (Asian American Pacific Islander) Heritage Month.
Factoid: Are Filipinos 🇵🇭 Asians?
Spoiler: For the U.S. federal (and Calif) government forms, yes.
And so I share "Filipino: Identity Beyond a Checkbox" shirleyfrivera.com/blog/fili… #BrownAsian #AAPIHeritageMonth

My work-in-progress - from a written essay to a storytelling piece about Asian fetishization experiences.
No more jokes.
And a reminder, to those who fetishize and harass women
... you
... are not welcomed

This was posted on the Asian SEA Story FB page. It’s exciting because it accentuates the cultural ties to Hinduism that span thousands of years. The borrowed Sanskrit, epics, trickster folk tales, attire and imagery still exists among many Ph indigenous peoples.

Len Bias died and then his name was invoked to pass laws that provided stiffer penalties for rock cocaine than powder, with the entirely intentional effect of imprisoning more Black people. Bias used to enshrine bias.

Loved hearing @aricianoo speak at #imaginfra quoting "Art would not exist if we understood each other" – thinking a lot about how we communicate and listen to each other's problems and dreams, and imagine solutions and mechanisms to create new realities
