about your most recent post, what do you mean by white people having to watch out and think about what they’re doing when it comes to introjecting?

Regarding this post

Specifically like, if white bodied people (reminder that white-passing people are still POC though!) want to change their name to a name that's for example traditionally Japanese, etc. (I'm not just pointing out that this "only applies to Asian names", this is just a common example!).

Obviously we (our system) can't stop anyone from doing what they want with their legal powers, but it's something we hope white systems really think about before they change their name so easily to something like that

Because of white privilege, white people most likely won't know what POC or SOC (systems of color) go through. People with less-white sounding names get racially profiled and/or deal with their names constantly being mispronounced to the point of changing their name legally to sound more white, or adopting an "English name". I don't think I have to explain the leaked Flight Ban/Watchlist and why the people on that list were there, for example

I hope that explains it! If white people want to change their name to something "different", I literally can't do anything abt that! In short, we brought that up because of racism, xenophobia, and bullying that's been done to people with less-white-sounding names.

#ask #anon #BTW Im not talking about INTROJECTING im talking what you do with this information AFTER the fact #Also our system is not white- we are asian. I'm saying this so that you know our perspective!! Not bc our words shld be 'better' than anyon #And also bc we cant speak for EVERY person of color. our perspective is of someone who is asian yipee #Also now that I'm reading what we said in the tags of that previous post- I hope it isn't read too much as a threat #But I trust that you can understand why any POC might phrase things like that when it comes to appropriating names #Also if someone says 'but what about spanish names?' well the context is that Spain colonized many countries so idk what to tell you #Ask us if you'd need this post tagged! #Also I'm being very /gen /lh!!! not mad at all #Also AGAIN pls pls i dont speak for all POC OTL.. but I hope this explains why ANY POC might ask you to think Deeply about ur privileges
