Internalized Racism Among Asians

<p>Internalized racism, first, is not some biological or cultural characteristic of those who possess it. It is neither a consequence of weakness, ignorance, inferiority, psychological defect, gullibility, or shortcoming of those who possess internalized racism. It can not be reduced to one form or be assumed to affect similar individuals or groups in the same way. It is a condition of&nbsp;<em>all</em>&nbsp;the structures of oppression. But what does that really mean? It means it is the result of all the institutions , whether it is media , government , social narratives , that affect the very way a person thinks about themselves, and others. Have you ever thought about why you might harbor racist thoughts against African Americans, or why you think white people are much more attractive ? It&rsquo;s not because you are inherently racist , nor are white people more attractive then the rest of us. It is the result of living under a society where&nbsp;<em>social narratives, media</em>&nbsp;instructs your thinking.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/a-m-awaken-your-inner-asian/internalized-racism-among-asians-49980f984401"><strong>Visit Now</strong></a></p>
