Reddit reviews Afro Asia: Revolutionary Political and Cultural Connections between African Americans and Asian Americans

I actually just posted this link to the subreddit so here you go, and then please remember Black and Hispanic people are overrepresented in poverty in the United States.

I'm not smart or eloquent enough to educate you on this but there's a book called Afro Asia: Revolutionary Political and Cultural Connections between African Americans and Asian Americans and in one of the first chapters it talks about how the non-refugee and not-coincidentally richer Asians in this country brought their life savings with them and invested it in single tracks to become business owners, educators, and other professionals. These are the kids in good schools. The contexts behind Asian, Black and brown peoples' prosperities are all so different. You can pick and choose which standard to judge races by when we're all subject to different pressures in the first place.

> The sad thing is that a lot of black and latino parents simply don't value education and they are not willing to put in the time and money to see their kids succeed,

This is totally anecdotal and racist... Wikipedia "model minority," "brain drain," and "selective immigration" if you'd like.

Did you know in the past, blacks and asians marched together against racism?

I know that Asians can receive racism from Blacks, but returning racism and deepening the divide will not help anyone. We worked together previously, why not again?
Why not bring all minorities combat racism together? I know people's traditional view of masculinity is a muscular, wealthy, promiscuous man, and that is certainly good, but masculinity is also more than that. It is being the best person you can be, loving all people and choosing to do the right thing even when it is hard to do so. I think Asians, because we are the "model minority" are in the perfect place to fight racism. What happens when the "model minority" calls a racist out for their bullshit? Continue to not give up hope, spread the word, and improve yourself to the best person you can be. It is the best way to say, "fuck you" to the system.

This subreddit is full of inspirational and woke people.
