We went to a great show in 2013 in The Hague, The Netherlands. Beautiful !
Only thing was, it is organized by a very large organization that promotes ideals not in accordance with the official in China.
They might be right, but paying $135 for tickets, you don't expect a speech after each performer.

But some good historic Kdramas do very well with showing traditional dances, always glad when they do that.

#AAPI #Asian #Art #Artifacts #Plunder

You could say the same thing about a large part of the Asian Art Museum's collection of Asian art & artifacts which as "donated" by Avery Brundage to the DeYoung Museum.

Brundage was a Nazi collaborator who supported Germany's hosting of the 1936 Olympics and long served as the head of the US Olympic Committee after that. Jesse Owens ruined Hitler's plans to promote Aryan superiority at those games.

Brundage's collection was on exhibit in a special "Asian" wing of DeYoung Museum for decades before it was later transferred to the Asian Art Museum at the site of the original Main Library building in Civic Center.

People who grew up with the #Chinese / #Asian tradition of drinking hot water, can you tell me about what that looked like in your family?

❓ What were the reasons given?

❓ How often was it recommended you partake?

❓ Do you still follow the practice today?

A friend of mine who is part Chinese does this, and I've started following in her footsteps. Surprisingly quite pleasant; not gross, as I thought it would be!

I call mine, “Rain tea”, because it's filtered rain #water .

Chinese citizens sue #Florida over #PropertyBuyingBan

A group of Chinese citizens working and living in Florida is challenging a new law that bans them from buying property in the state.

The American Civil Liberties Union (#ACLU), a civil rights group representing the plaintiffs, said the law is unconstitutional and discriminatory.

The ban would also impact #ChineseAmericans, and people of #Asian descent, the suit says.

Small #oilpainting I just finished.

Gingko.
This is a crop, but it's not much bigger. Full painting 7x9" oil on canvas.

Gingkos are a symbol of endurance and longevity. Along with all the symbolism of fans which they resemble.
For me, fans represent the winnowing, the separation of wheat from chaff.
It is the oldest tree on earth.

#gingko #fan #fans #art #artist #oilpainting #symbolicart #Asian #symbolism #JapaneseCulture #trees #figurativepainting #painting #Mastoart

painting of a very stylish Asian woman, wearing a bold, couture like top with puffy sleeves, & notched collar. Her head angled so a single gold earring is seen, and a gold gingko leaf pin is on her jacket. A graphic shaped background in black outlined in gold, merges with her hair as though one shape. Painted realistically.

I'll be posting about some issues of #ableism in #Asian communities this month & invite open #discussion on it. From both #disabled & non-disabled folks in our Asian communities.

I feel it's one of several #taboo subjects in Asian communities. I want folks to know how not openly discussing this important issue has harmed people like me & countless others.

I will be speaking from my own personal experiences as a disabled #POC & encourage ppl to share their own experiences too.

Work just streamed the #documentary "38 At The Garden" as part of #AAPI month - something I completely ignored due to my own "sports documentary? ew" prejudices. We also had a panel that included the director Frank Chi.

Wow.

First, the doc was really about overcoming harmful #Asian stereotypes more than being about #basketball

And 2nd, seeing Asians just beam with delight at recalling what Jeremy Lin did for the community - yeah, I cried a lot.

Highly recommended. 💕

"#/BlackMastodon" is off-putting for the generally well-minded people, who are mostly white so far, or #Asian, but using their own language for a big part, so you will not reach many of them."

If "Black Mastodon" is offputting to a person who is not Black, then the simplest explanation is that they're a racist. Also, pretty inconsiderate to include the hashtag when it's meant for Black folks to find and affirm each other, not for your uninformed opinionating.

Just waiting to see if he responds or if he's muted me.

Whenever I see negative feedback about the #fediverse, it is about:
1. being lonely
2. lacks discoverability
3. reach is poor
4. support for this and that is lacking
5. not welcoming for other people

All of the above, it has to do with what I've described in this quoted post,
#ObservableFediverse. Meaning, one was only exposed to a very small part of the fediverse from that person's vantage point.

Let's take for example the #5 item. Is the fediverse not welcoming for certain groups of people, the minorities, the marginalised, those with disabilities, and often discriminated based on origin?

I am an
#Asian, a #Filipino - #Chinese to be exact, and I am also #autistic. There is an active community, as well as #groups, for Filipinos and #ActuallyAutistics here in the fediverse network.

Have you seen those? More likely not. Why? “Observable fediverse.”

In
#astronomy, an #ObservableUniverse is the part of the huge universe that we can observe from Earth. It is how far our current technology can reach.

It is the same in “observable fediverse”. What you see, what you are interacting with, is only what you currently have access to. Your “observable fediverse” relies on these factors:

1. The users in your instance.
2. The remote users and other servers your instance is aware of.
3. The people you are following (which include groups).

That is your “observable fediverse”.

Since you are not following a user who is following a Filipino, or is a member of an autistic group, there is very little chance you will see content from Filipinos and autistics.

Another reason of disappointment is misunderstanding what the “fediverse/global timeline” is. Here's the thing, it is just the public chatter.

Think of it as visiting a crowded public park. You'll hear all kinds of discussions. There are those that are offensive, and those that are not.

The “federated/global timeline” is also
not the entirety of the fediverse. It is only what your instance/server is aware of. If what you most see are unwelcoming content, then don't look at it, or move to a new instance, or ask around. I'm sure your own instance will help you find like-minded individuals and groups.

That's your
observable fediverse. The fediverse is not unwelcoming. My guesstimate is, no one account, no one server, have seen more than 1% of the entire fediverse. Just like how we haven't seen more than 1% of the entire universe.

^_^

The stark differences between dozens of ethnic groups that fall under the umbrella term "Asian American" make a case for disaggregating data about the community.

"Do Indian Americans, who earn a $119,000 median household income, belong in the same statistical category as Burmese Americans, who earn $44,000? Does a first-generation Bangladeshi family have anything in common with a fifth-generation Japanese one?"

We could additionally have a more accurate non-white-washed White History Month. However, #WhiteHistory is #BlackHistory & vice versa.
#AfricanAmerican #Indigenous #Asian #NativeAmerican #Latinx History includes the role & events that White ppl. played in their histories told from their perspective/ experiences.
