Six Asian women were brutally killed this week in Atlanta, following a year of anti-Asian racism and xenophobia. Their story is part of a long + shameful legacy of racist violence in America. I wrote about it for this week's issue of @TIME: https://t.co/0pi22gyIkj#StopAsianHate
Asian women in America are simultaneously fetishized and despised, hypervisible as subjects of desire, but disposable as people. It’s part of a long and violent history of intertwined racism and misogyny. @PaulinaCachero and I wrote about it for @TIME: https://t.co/6uWtEfpDJs
1/ For many Asian and Asian American women, the violence in the Atlanta shootings felt intimately familiar.

“In 1965, 85% of GIs surveyed reported having “been with” or “been out with” a prostitute.
There was what is described as a military-sexual complex...In those sites, it’s Asian women who are providing sexual gratification.” Brava @cadylang@PaulinaCacherohttps://t.co/9HYRc42qXt
Important. @Time on how imperialism puts Asian women at risk. Americans are unable to see us outside the filter of war. Even when war ends, the sex industry allows all men to cosplay American invader of our homelands & “experience” us. Decrim women & abolish it to end misogynasia https://t.co/y3gRiscV94
A very poignant quote from @cadylang about what it's like to be an Asian woman in America: "Asian and Asian American women are simultaneously fetishized and despised, hypervisible as subjects of desire but disposable as people."

The pandemic disrupted the pathway to college for many students, particularly those hit hardest by the country’s simultaneous crises. Some applied to college against immense challenges, others decided not to enroll at all. This week’s @TIME cover story: https://t.co/0FIBelZyl5https://t.co/8wRUnyV2BC
Why do I go by Beth? This essay has been about 8 years in the making. Or maybe it’s been a lifetime. I still feel lots of anxiety about it but also grateful.
