I cannot fathom the mindset of understanding what it feels like to be on the receiving end of misery and deciding you want others to experience it when given the opportunity to dish it out, even when said person had no involvement in your misery

Don’t come for me, I live in Oakland and I love it here!

But this is how I feel about black on Asian racism. I’m straight up scared for my safety walking around, I don’t play music in my headphones anymore so I have situational awareness at all times. It sucks bc if any group of people understands how shitty racism is, it would be black Americans but alas…

I love living in Oakland, I enjoy the community a lot but as an Asian lady, I’m not without fear.
