happy aapi heritage month, loving and friendly reminders
stop erasing pacific islanders or i'll rip out ur spine
asians outnumber pacific islanders by millions and more often than not this month gives CRUMBS to pacific islanders and it's honestly, transparently anti-indigenous at this point.
pacific islanders are melanesian, micronesian, and polynesian. these identities are not homogenous or interchangeable, but are deeply historically connected.
filipinos are not pacific islander and we are not discussing this further
(i am not pacific islander so if anyone from that community wants to add more friendly reminders onto this post, pls do 💛)
east asians are not the only asians
despite being the face of "asian-ness" in the us, there are actually more countries in asia than south korea, north korea, japan, and china.
celebrate southeast asians !
celebrate south asians !
celebrate west asians !
celebrate central asians !
celebrate north asians !
there is so so much diversity in the pacific islander and asian experiences worldwide, and it's well past time we celebrate all of the facets of our identities
celebrate indigenous asians !
celebrate asians who aren't mixed with white !
celebrate dark-skinned asians !
end the diaspora wars !
we need to stand together in community as we face down the capitalist, imperialist, white supremacist machine. uplift each other, and hold each other accountable, always

Hi all,
My name is Nora, otherwise known as tumblr user girl-chunks, and I'm a disabled Asian American trans woman.
As some of you may know, my health has spiraled out of control in the past year. Because of this, I've had to acquire a wheelchair and move in with my partner in NYC so that I can have someone to help take care of me. Unfortunately, the cost of moving proved to be significantly more than I had planned, as well as having an additional $500 expense for my wheelchair charged to me by my insurance.
If you could help donate even a few dollars to support a Chinese/Japanese American trans woman during AAPI Heritage Month, that would be so so helpful. Reblogs go farther than you can imagine. I want to be able to put this chapter behind me and turn a new page. For that I need your help.
Thank you so so much for your support. You have all my love.
Best,
girl-chunks

back on my aapi heritage month headcanons!!
- hermie being jodie’s kid means that hermie is also half chinese and he never understood what that meant growing up w white adoptee parents who also didn’t get his love for the scam
- wasian (chinese) glenn & wasian (viet) morgan leads to wasian nick, and cassandra has the same sweetness and patience of my thai cousins so taylor is everything but japanese/korean but he absolutely adores everything j-pop/j-fashion/k-pop/etc etc
- half chinese hermie who always knew that he felt different but didn’t know how to vocalize it and he thought it was a race thing and not a demon/goof thing
- nick close is not attached to his culture at all bc morgan was the leading force of culture in the house, the only culture he knows is rock n roll (this means glenn is totally detached from his asian side as well but i think as he gets older he genuinely wants to know more about his history)
- nicky swift has a mom and she taught him so much about vietnamese food and culture, nick’s go-to “let me cook for you” food is homemade pho that he has down pat (and of course he lies and says it’s super complicated and hundreds of years of swift tradition)
- taylor swift is incredible at origami, he can make an origami gundam and also attempted the “1000 origami cranes” thing before he got bored and so cassandra just has like 200 origami cranes hung up around the house
- meryl streep owns his identity so hard during his time and he’s “rediscovered” in between the years of s1 and s2 in the name of inclusivity in the film world and immediately he is grant’s secret celebrity crush
- they mean the world to me
First AAPI HC's Post Here!

Sinophobia affects all AAPI. Anyone who a racist thinks is Chinese is going to catch some of that. Or racists don't give a fuck what your ethnicity is and think we're all the same and will attack you anyways. This applies to all of Asia because not everyone fits a look that you think belongs to different parts of Asia & the Pacific. Even if someone is Chinese, they don't deserve it.
Y'alls sinophobia is showing by:
Bringing up the Chinese government every time someone is discussing anything related to China that has nothing to do with their government. Ex: Chinese language, culture, history, celebrities
Calling Asian people "Bing chilling" or commenting it under a video about China or with any Asian people in it just because John Cena said it. It's like calling Asian people "Squid Game" when that Korean show was popular.
"Ching chong" You know exactly what this is. Don't fucking play dumb.
Thinking "Made in China" is inferior despite the American companies being the one who made that decision and told the Chinese manufacturers to make it exactly to their specs. Prior to this, Americans thought Japanese products were inferior, but now y'all lap up Japanese products. Y'all are mad at the wrong people.
Rebranding Chinese beauty trends as Japanese or Korean.
Stealing beauty content from Chinese creators and labeling it as Japanese or Korean while leaving in whole ass Chinese characters. We can literally still see the Douyin or XiaoHongShu logo in the video you fucking stole. Bonus points if they're also speaking Chinese in the video.
Saying "You're so pretty, I thought you were Korean/Japanese." to a Chinese person.
Attacking literally any Asian person because you thought they were Chinese.
Attacking a Chinese person just because they're Chinese.
Bonus points if you attack an Asian person who is from a country you fetishize. *cough cough hardcore kpop/kdrama fans, koreaboos, weeboos*
Double the bonus points if you're a weeboo hating on China. Japan refuses to acknowledge their crimes against humanity to this day. If you want to look up what Japan did, I am warning you(HUGE TRIGGER WARNING), it will psychologically mess you up.
Triple the racist bonus points if you attack an Asian ethnic minority that was oppressed in the past or is currently being oppressed by the Chinese government.
This literally goes for any culture but hating on Chinese culture is not cute. There are beautiful parts of it. We can appreciate the beautiful parts of it.
Y'alls treatment of Chinese or any Asian restaurant/business. I have like a whole other post of this. We all know Asian food is fire. Don't complain about the food and then demand it to be free + request another serving. If you hate us and our food so much, why are you here asking for more?
Categorizing us into the "good" Asians and the "bad" Asians, like y'all could fucking tell the difference between us. This shows y'all are cool with discrimination too, which is just telling on yourselves.
Doing nothing as Congress mistreated the CEO of Tiktok, calling him "China man", saying China comes to Congress, despite him being from Singapore.
Getting mad at Asian people speaking out on sinophobia and all the anti-China propaganda. It's mostly just thinly veiled racism behind "I hate the Chinese government." You can hate the Chinese government, but you can also be racist at the same time. They can co-exist in you.
Nobody is stopping y'all from boycotting anything made in China, but I don't see anyone tossing out their iPhones.

I made it just in time! My contribution for AAPI month: Immy in a Filipiniana inspired by gumamela (hibiscus)
it’s not the Philippines’ national flower, but it’s nostalgic to me as it was the flower that grew in front of my childhood home before we immigrated to the US. I thought the petals would make a beautiful skirt

Because it’s the end of Asian and Pacific Islander Heritage month y’all should follow me because I’m Asian (also I’m so close to 1k followers and it would be so cool to hit 100 followers on Twitter, 500 followers on my other Twitter, and 1k followers on Tumblr all in the same month 🥰)
Here are some of my specifically Asian-inspired artworks I’ve done for various fandoms or original works ♥️

Like any other group, Asians and Asian Americans obviously have their own conflicts. But they're taught to invest in external ideologies that hurt them as a path to "progress."

Wood Engraving Wednesday
So, this week we’re replacing our usual wood engravings with color woodcuts instead because we wanted to show off some of the exquisite original wood block prints from a 2-volume set of contemporary Japanese woodcuts. The volumes have not been cataloged yet because the title and publication information are in Japanese and we have not had them translated yet. The title (we believe) is on the cover of the book, which we show here.
The two volumes contain 24 original prints by different artists showcasing traditional techniques with modern sensibilities. Each print is stored in a page composed of a polyethylene sleeve that the print can be removed from. Please click or tap on the images for title and artist information.
View more posts with Japanese prints.
