CW : sexual assault , transphobia , slurs

online spaces have primarily been sites of trauma for me so it is always special the rare occasions i opt to be visible through my online body. people think transness like emanates from tumblr or something, as if our hxstories / existence begins and ends in this online space. that is nonsense and i am choosing to celebrate trans day of resilience by being embodied online. I don’t embody myself much online because i grew up online, again, in traumatic ways.

i am a person who has been “correctively” raped by someone related to the medical setting (a security guard) where i used to go for my testosterone shots. He forced feminized me and shaved my body before using me and he was also a mixed nikkei person. our communities are complicated and we all are implicated in the calls to heal and change.

im coming out about that today on a day about our resiliency and focusing the many black trans women who are murdered. the driving force behind these violences against our communities are racism and queerphobia, with the intent to eliminate our joy in being alive and our stories and lives. for a long time after that assault i stopped taking testosterone and felt knocked back into a grey area of existing, without agency, again. i do not feel that way today.

This snowflake pride flag bearer is a carefag kinky transexed cripbitch yellow peril earthbased bisexual queer male mixed grrrl

and that is what it says.

the black stripe was there first, to center the guiding stars / deepest ancestors and those facing the most violence within our queer community. This flag has been in my room for a while now, but the words were written today.

(photo: top photo, a rainbow flag with a black stripe down the middle, with the words CAREFAG KINKY TRANSEXED CRIPBITCH YELLOW PERIL EARTHBASED BISEXUAL QUEER MALE MIXED GRRRL written on either sides of the stripe on the colors of the flag. bottom photo, the same flag is being held by the light skinned queer ambiguously gendered mixed asian person, smiling. they are wearing a blue cloth and a pink hat in a room with decorations on the walls and a mirror in the top left.)

Post 2: The Origins of Yellow Peril and Subsequent Asian Stereotypes

Although fear of the “Yellow Peril” began to spread around the late nineteenth century, the concept can be traced back to the fifth century (BCE) looking at the ways the Greeks thought about the Persians (Okihiro, 1994). Okihiro also suggests that the concept may have originated in the medieval era, particularly from the fear of Genghis Khan and the Mongolian invasion of European land (Okihiro, 1994). He states in his book “Yellow Peril combines the racist terror of alien cultures, sexual anxieties, and the belief that the West will be overpowered and enveloped by the irresistible, dark, occult forces of the East” which show that the original Yellow Peril stemmed from hatred and fear of the unknown “Other” and their strange cultures (Okihiro, 1994).

For Asian Americans, the concept of the “Yellow Peril” is the most long-standing stereotype and originated during the wave of Chinese immigration to the United States as laborers (Wu, 2002). In the mid-twentieth century, this term became linked with a large number of Japanese immigrants. Regardless of which Asian country it refers to, the Yellow Peril discourse “emphasizes the powerful, threatening, and extensiveness of Asians and Asian Americans, while depicting whites as vulnerable, threatened, and in danger” (Yang, 2011).

These early depictions of the East go through various periods of different representations: firstly as racial and social pollutants from the mid-nineteenth century, then from the 1860s to 1870s as drug users and sexual deviants, then from 1870s to 1880s as coolies, and from the 1880s as a great threat to white people and particularly white women (Yang, 2011). At the height of the Yellow Peril discourse, it was being broadcasted that “nonwhite people are by nature physically and intellectually inferior, morally suspect, heathen, licentious, disease-ridden, feral, violent, uncivilized, infantile, and in need of the guidance of white, Anglo-Saxon Protestants” (Marchetti, 1993). These racial discriminations led to the Chinese Exclusion Act in 1882 and laid the foundation for political scapegoating (Tchen & Years, 2014). In 1905, the Asian Exclusion League (AEL) was formed to try and drive out all Asians and Asian Americans as well as prohibit Asians from immigrating to the United States (Yang, 2011). 

The Yellow Peril discourse was not merely a political discussion but also showed up in journalism and media as well. Newspapers depicted Asians as an inferior race with William F. Wu defining the Yellow Peril as: “the threat to the U.S. that some white American authors believed was posed by the people of East Asia. As a literary theme, the fear of this threat focused on specific issues, including possible military invasion from Asia, perceived competition to the white labor force from Asian workers, the alleged moral degeneracy of Asian people, and the potential genetic mixing of Anglo-Saxons with Asians, who were considered a biologically inferior race” (Wu, 2002). Much of these negative perceptions stemmed from the fear and hostility brought upon by the economic competition that came with the increase of Asian workers. Even though the Yellow Peril was the first of the stereotypes to be formed against Asians and Asian Americans, it has persisted through the twentieth century and is still very much alive today as we will discuss later on. 

All of these early fears and depictions of Asians and particularly a paranoia about an “Asian horde that will overwhelm the white people of the world”, resulted in the creation of the comic character, Fu Manchu, created by Sax Rohmer who admitted he knew nothing about the Chinese, but which became the personification of Yellow Peril and “represented the tension between the morally pure and superior West and the “mysterious, seductively evil East” (Wu, 2002). As the representation of Yellow Peril, Fu Manchu “perpetuates the myth that the Chinese, and by extension, Asians, are trying to take over the Western world” and became the outlet for American fear of the Orient (Chan, 2001). The recurrence of the orientalized “Other” used to enhance the “visibility/racial invisibility” of whites is done by promoting the “permanent status of Asians as the perpetually foreign, invisible other” (Johnson, 2004). 

The “Perpetual Foreigner” is a stereotype of Asian Americans depicting that all Asians and Asian Americans come from a faraway place with different languages, cultures, and ideologies and cannot understand or be a part of mainstream American culture (Yang, 2011). This leads to the misconception that Asian Americans -even those who are born, raised, and educated and have been for perhaps multiple generations, are still seen as foreigners who cannot speak English fluently or do not understand American culture. This perception makes it difficult for Asians to take part in society because they are deemed unassimilable to the mainstream white society and deemed foreign and invisible. The main ideas that underlie this stereotype are that first, the United States belongs to the whites; and secondly, there is not much difference between race and culture, “the outside, reflected by the race, is thought to represent the inside, one’s culture, custom or world view” meaning that no matter how long Asians and Asian Americans live in the United States, they will still be seen as the “foreigner” and “outside” of mainstream society (Yang, 2011). 

The “Model Minority” stereotype originated in the 1960s during the civil rights movement and has a seemingly positive connotation that includes traits such as “hardworking, politically inactive, intelligent, productive, and inoffensive” however, it was used to pit Asian minorities against other racial minorities such as the Black and Latino communities who were labeled “immoral, unethical, lazy, and violent” (Yang, 2011). The Model Minority myth is also dangerous for Asians and Asian Americans as it erases the cultural, political, and social barriers that Asians face and struggle with.

Our Ancestors have always been revolutionary ✊🏾✊🏿✊🏼 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ From the Black Panthers, Brown Berets, American Indian Movement, The Young Lords, to the Asian American Movement (Yellow Peril) and more. Let’s learn from them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We need to start hating on white supremacy, patriarchy, and imperialism more and understand that the state and police are merely a tool of the bourgeois and a screen for the violent corporations and markets. Don’t ever underestimate the power of the people tho. Start researching movements against the state led by your people. Study their tactics, safety practices, literature, and solidarity movements and why our liberations are tied together. . To my femme, trans, women relatives, especially our Black relatives: start creating your safety nets, community organizing and care, and always look after each other and protect yourselves. WE MUST PROTECT EACH OTHER AT ALL COSTS. . We have resources under our Black Lives Matter link on our website for you to learn and practice from. Allies, time to start practicing what you’re learning. . #cyclistazine #blacklivesmatter #resistance #cycling #younglords #brownberets #yellowperil #aim #skoden #americanindianmovement #blackpanthers #protest #shredthepartriarchy #racialjustice https://www.instagram.com/p/CBdPgsJldid/?utm_medium=tumblr

Who knew #MalcomX and #YuriKochiyama the #japaneseamericanactivist shared the same birthdate of May 19th(sorry I missed it.) Yesterday was also Yuri's 6th anniversary for her passing on June 1st, 2014. She was Malcolm's close aid fighting racism together in his last years after he left the NOI. And was sitting front row at his last speech and was by his side when he took his last breaths. She was illegally imprisioned in an #internmentcamp during #ww2 due to #FDR and his racist #executiveorder9066 Divide control and conquer is a tactic of oppressors. The dumb deaf and blind are easily mislead and mislead others. #✊🏿✊🏾✊✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻 #endracism #yellowperil #yellowperilsupportsblackpower #blacklivesmatter #asians4blacklives (at USA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA8_VTBF9BS/?igshid=27el2p9uj0t0
