The term white supremacy and background!

jnewinLeave a comment

Hi, So you know I am a big fan of wuxia and asian dramas and have many asians who are my blogger friends. I also have a few white men in a wmaf relationhsips who follow me for wuxia!

I asked a few questions to a white man in a wmaf relationship about the term white supremacy. I asked him if wmaf or amwf is white supremacy because I was kinda confused. He has a degree in history and help me clear up some stuff I’m confused about a few times.

Here’s his reply:

“No. White Supremacy is a system where white people have political, social and cultural control. It is about power and segregation. Under White Supremacy, Asians wouldn’t be able to marry whites, just like black people in the south couldn’t. In the south black men were often killed just for looking at a white woman. White Supremacy as a worldview is one that claims white people are superior to all other races due to their genetics. Almost without exception, white supremacists are opposed to interracial marriage because they believe it waters down the bloodline. This is why I keep saying it makes zero sense to frame interracial dating or marriage as contributing to white supremacy. Historically in the US it used to be illegal for interracial couples to marry. It became legal because people who didn’t like white supremacy fought against the law.”

“The other problem with invoking white supremacy that way, is it waters down the term itself. There are real racial injustices that remain from the racist policies the US used to have. But if people use it to say an asian man and women dating is a form of white supremacy (which 95% of the population will regard as a ridiculous argument) then the term starts to lose its meaning and when we talk about white supremacy in terms of things like how minorities are ore impacted by longer jail sentences or how asians might be discriminated against in the work place, people don’t listen as much because they the term has been applied to too many questionable things.”

Another wmaf had a chat with me and he told me about his background and how did he get interested in asian culture.

“I honestly don’t really care about all this racism stuff. Let me tell you about my life. My parents (white) moved from california to oklahoma shortly after they were married. They were the only white people to sit on the “black side” of the church in Oklahoma. Later they moved back to california, and were close friends with a black family. Both families had children around the same time, so my best friend growing up was black. And guess what, we shared the same first name. So for most of my young life, I didn’t even think that there was a difference between black and white people. Later, I became very interested in Asian culture. I loved Jackie Chan movies. Every week, my brother and our friends would go to eat Pho at the best vietnamese restaurant in San Diego (SD has a huge vietnamese community). Later I learned to speak Chinese. I moved to China and lived in a small city. I married a Chinese woman and now my son is Chinese/Asian. ”

So as much as I have plenty of asians who are my friends and enjoy chatting with me about wuxia and asian dramas, I also have a few white men who are fans of swordfighting movies and wuxia and follow me for that. I am grateful for those who follow me and support me out of goodwill. I have never thought of myself as an expert of asian dramas or wuxia and just an asian girl who is interested in them and watch them for fun.

Well isn’t it amazing, I used to be against asians on reddit cause I thought they were racists but some asian drama bloggers who are asians helped me explain about racism against asians and what they do is good. I eventually became good friends with asian men from reddit and became understanding toward them. We are both asians and have the same hobbies and understand each other as asians. Yeah I used to fight with a few asian drama bloggers but we became good friends due to same hobby of watching asian dramas and wuxia. Yeah despite some asians are honest but they care for me and support me. Sometimes I ask a few white men and women for opinions and they tell me “Remember I’m not asian so sometimes I don’t know how asian community feel”. Yeah wmaf would give me their opinions on it but they would tell me they are white so usually they stay out of talking about asian issues. They also tell me to be careful, there are a lot of bad guys out there too. And they said it’s always better for me to talk about it since I’m an asian girl.

So as you know I grew up with wuxia and asian dramas and have been addicted to it since I was a child. I’m in the mood of posting one of my favourite Eye Candy character Zhan Zhao from Justice Bao. I just fell in love watching him onscreen! As you know I’m a big fan of wuxia swordfighting series! This will be a fun post to relax! If you have any favourite asian actor and actress Eye Candy, you can share it too. But I’ll make this post dedicated to my favourite Zhan Zhao. 🙂

Types of asians

Was thinking of writing different types of asians from my high school. I went to a high school that is pretty diverse and have plenty of asian cliques. Not all asians get along. I didn’t have much asian friends back in high school. I have mostly white friends but some asians would like to be friends since I’m asian too. So I’ll list the different asian cliques. I would call myself a good asian girl but also a loner and kinda preppy. Loner in a sense I don’t belong to any asian cliques since I hang out with whoever I get along with.

-Whitewashed asians: Asians who hang out with mostly whites and have and have a few asian friends.

-Asians who dye their hair: Asians who dye their hair and acted like non-asians.

-The good asian girls: Asian girls who studies a lot. Oh yea, in my high school, the good asian girls hang out with mostly indians which makes it indians and asians together.

-Asian girls with one token white guy: There was a group of asian girls with one token white guy or a few white guys who are interested in asian girls.

-FOB: FOB who hang out with mostly in their ethnic cliques: Korean groups, Vietnamese Groups, and Chinese Groups.

-American Asians: Asian Americans who hang out with each other.

What more asian cliques can you add to the list?

Oh yea, there was an asian who said there are two groups of asians: The good groups and the bad groups of asians but he just hang out with both.

I didn’t belong to any clique. Somehow the leader of the good asian groups who hang out with mostly asians tried to be my friend and his asian american clique which he belonged.

I love my drama blog.

Grew up with tvb series and wuxia thanks to my parents.

I’ve been blogging for five years up for now.

I’ve always been known as the tvb/wuxia/drama guru.

I’ve always been known by my family and friends as the drama addict.

I have wonderful tvb and wuxia blogger friends.

One of my dreams was to do drama recaps of my favorite asian dramas and I got it now.

My drama blog is my space to chill.

I love my drama blog!
