You should read it. awesome chinese ladies part one: i will not go quietly Recently Tiger Beatdown had a post up about Sei Shonagon, then just this week Isabel wrote about the Disney version of Mulan.

my culture is not a trend.: Because unfortunately,... →
My act of calling out racism, is not worse than the act of racism itself. My drawing attention to a racist act, is not the same as calling the person a racist. There is a high correlation to racism and racist acts. This isn’t up to me. The intentions of a person who commits a racist act are…

it just is

Rasta inmates spend 10 years in isolation for hair →
