Stones on my chest
This is what racism is to me as a young Asian woman: racism is hundreds of stones on my chest.
A stone for every time a racial slur is thrown my way.
A stone for every time achieving a goal is harder because of my race.
A stone for every time I am pushed/assumed/written/declared out of the sphere of what is considered Australian.
A stone for my white mother, who said to me last week but I've always thought of you as white.
A stone for my white father, who said to me yesterday CHINA. WORLD POWER. TERROR. FEAR. RESOURCES. INVASION. NOT LIKE US. INSCRUTABLE. MERCILESS. GROUP-THINK. COMMUNISTS!!!!!!! P.S YUM CHA IS DELICIOUS.MORE
