  1. As an Asian American, this article really hit home about the racism that's resurfaced. Somedays, I'm just tired of having to be the outgoing one just so people don't give me the stink eye. Sometimes, I get so tired when people ask me where I'm from. nytimes.com/2020/04/12/magazine/asian-american-discrimination-coronavirus.html

      Margaret Cho said that to be Asian in America is to die by a thousand paper cuts, a thousand subtle cues that I don't belong here even though I was born here. Some days, I just get tired of the hate.

        The climate nowadays encourages violence and xenophobia, and god, sometimes it's just too much. This is my own personal river that I have to swim upstream. It's hard to try and do good when you fear for your safety.
