About LLAG



A different type of blog post. A rant.

I saw this online. A friend had shared it with a comment that she doesn't support LLAG or NextShark.

We are both Asian Americans.

I realized how much I agreed with that thought. I was debating it for awhile but wasn't sure if in the end I unfollowed the page. Turns out I did.

I return to her post, and I was about to comment this:


For a while, I was supportive of the page (LLAG). Maybe naive and curious about it, as it was an active page promoting the "Asian American voice". But as time went by, I was like, this isn't how I view America should be. This isn't how I view the world, this isn't how we, Asian Americans, should be seen as. I felt like maybe it was just some occasional radical thoughts, maybe to garner more views or whatever. So a few weeks went by, and this type of speech continued, which is just too much. I felt like he was hating on white people, rather than supporting the Asian American voice and community. It felt like he was promoting hatred towards people (like we should discriminate Caucasians instead of trying to live in harmony with them-- calling them ppl pink people? what?), instead of promoting our voice. The alt-right movement is the opposite of what he seems to be promoting, but two wrongs doesn't make a right. We do not need to hate or discriminate them. Thus, I unfollowed him because following him just made me feel like I was also promoting this hatred. Seeing this makes me glad that I unfollowed him.
