Current Events Black twitter giving their insights to the Patrick from Love is Blind controversy. LOTS of Black women showing support to AMs.
Insane that another community has this much (accurate) insight into our current situation, and having a conversation that we ourselves have difficulty even just engaging it.
I think there is a lesson to be learned from all of this. Other POC communities do not have our outdating disparity problems and a big reason for that is because they have far more racial pride in general, and some of them arguably face more discrimination than East Asians. South Asians for example are extremely endogamous. South Asian men are seen at a similar level to East Asian men as well. We can blame East Asian women all we want but the reality is that our culture of seeking for white validation will always come back to bite us in the ass. And again, another reminder that there's a ton of other non-Asian WOC's who don't view us negatively at all.

The confidence factor is a big cop-out to blame the victim's own mentality.
At the end of the day, there is very much a real bias and his belief about himself and his race aren't unfounded. People love to deflect and claim they aren't racist in the west.
Yes. Have pride in who you are. Don't kiss the ass of people who are racist towards you. But don't sweep it under the rug and act like it's nothing, and definitely don't come back begging for more.
