One of my best friends and I did a collab parody based off the NMH series logo. I created the design “No more racists” and they are now for sale as shirts, but the big news is SUDA_51 RETWEETED AND LOVED IT!
The resolution recognizes the impact of racism on the health of New Yorkers and requests the Health Department perform a series of actions, including: ✅ Acknowledging examples of the Department’s historic role in divesting and underinvesting in critical community-led health programs ✅ Establishing a Data for Equity internal working group ✅ Making recommendations to the NYC Racial Justice Commission ✅ Conducting an anti-racism review of the NYC Health Code, in consultation with community organizations
New York City’s resolution is one of the first to tie specific actions to its declaration.
“We’d never talked about it, but I figured you knew the rules. If a cop stopped, you didn’t run, you didn’t talk back, you didn’t ever, ever get angry. White people could do that—hell, they could shoot up a church and then ask for Burger King—but not us. We got killed at traffic stops for speeding, for having broken taillights, for knowing our rights.” ― Una LaMarche, You in Five Acts
Women supporting women in public bathrooms is so precious on that note let’s be just as supportive and inclusive of our trans sisters using public bathrooms.
“You can cheer the end of Sulaimani and still be anti-war. You can condemn the way Sulaimani was executed but still be relieved that he is no longer around to terrorize people. You can be anti-US imperialism and anti-Iranian dictatorship and brutality. Being anti-US imperialism, being anti-Trump’s reckless disregard for humanity does not mean that you should make Sulaimani a symbol of freedom, or Leftist ideology. Sulamani was a butcher. Trump is a dangerous megalomanic. The Ayatollah’s are just as guilty, dripping with the blood of millions across the region funding terrorist groups and proxy wars. Let Sulaimani die the butcher he was, with a fitting illegal end- the same he dished out to thousands-, without turning him into an anti-imperialist hero of the people- and by extension justifying the Iranian regime. The only loyalty you should have should be for the ordinary people of Iran, Iraq and the region. It is 2020, and it is about time we started viewing such issues in all their complexities, realizing that multiple truths can co-exist and that a simplistic analysis serves no one but those hungering for war.”
Important reminder that the evils of our governments does not represent the people who only want peace. The difference between you and I, my friend, is far smaller than the difference between our governments.
My foreign friends - we do not have jaundice, or at least, most of us - we’d tell you if we had jaundice. Our skin has yellow undertones, it’s not bright yellow like a Simpsons character, or bright orange like Trump (he’s white to boot). Don’t even make our skin a tone of yellow in any sense. Look at a real-life East Asian before you draw. I don’t care if you look at Xinnie the Pooh or Curry Lamb as a skin tone reference, as long as you use an art reference for once. Thank you.
How isn’t this just reproducing stigma against people with brighter yellow undertones?
Bright yellow undertones are NOT necessarily indicative of disease or health problems. Stop perpetuating that idea.
You CAN push for greater diversity of complexions without just reproducing stigma against certain complexions and implying they shouldn’t be represented because they’re an embarrassing to your race.
Not only that, East Asians themselves portray their own skin is informed by colorism and the drive to make their skin as white as possible and WE sure as hell shouldn’t be reproducing that.
First of all… stop. I’m actually East Asian (I live in Hong Kong) and am backed by Asian friends on this reply, so please, listen to me on this:
I’m not against people with yellow undertones. Hell if I know, I have yellow undertones myself. But news flash, this isn’t the Simpsons, healthy, normal East Asians - nor anyone else for that matter - has bright yellow skin the colour of highlighter ink.
Iam trying to push for diversity in East Asian complexions - you see my Gacha models with pale and tan/dark skin (dark by East Asian standards, mind you). I’m not glamorizing having pale skin and promoting colorism, even if the cosmetics stores around me all sell products for lightening skin - I am well aware of colorism in my society. I am saying that no healthy East Asian has Yellow™️ skin like I have seen in many pieces of fan-art.
People who draw East Asians in Yellow™️ skin tones tend not to be East Asian. I am trying to raise awareness that Asian skin is not effing jaundice-yellow as many Westerners tend to perceive, as if they are using 1940s propaganda posters as art references.
You are a black guy (according to your profile) who primarily reblogs pictures of women in bikinis. You are not East Asian. You do not have a say in the matter.
Children of color are old enough to face racism when they’re born. Old enough to bear the weight of stereotypes & hate before their little eyes can focus. But somehow white kids are supposed to be too delicate & too shielded to even know race exists because somehow that might hurt them. When your definition of innocent child doesn’t include my babies? I know what you’re on & I don’t have any patience for the lies you tell yourself or your children.
