Alice Lee Instagram – I had been complicit as well. I HAD been silent. I wanted to be the model minority. I had benefited from being a model minority. I had been a part of the problem, even if it was subconsciously. Wanting to assimilate to whiteness had been systemically so ingrained in me that I was unable to see I was also perpetuating anti-blackness. I don’t have all the words, so I’ve collected the sources above.
We need to have uncomfortable conversations with others, but I think we also need to have uncomfortable conversations with ourselves.
We need to look inside and see what part we have had in this, strive to be better and take action.
