Why you joined: I was tired of seeing Asians asking the same questions, getting gas lighted by racists, held back by self-hating Asians who care more about other races more than their own, and buying into the “post-racial” narrative to our detriment. So, I made this safe space for Asians with centralized answers to the questions that keep many of them up at night along with some means [still evolving] to address them.
