Mary H.K. Choi Instagram – My heart hurts today. I can’t stop thinking about all the anti Asian racism and attacks in the news. The videos, the headlines, how it’s all gotten so much more flagrant and angry. And how optics, proximity to whiteness, assigned privilege, Uber rich caricatures in media all play into this notion that anti-Asian racism doesn’t count or is more forgivable. I can’t stop thinking about my parents and how they’re so far away and how I felt when they got their first vaccine shot last week and for the moment where I could allow myself the tiniest glimmer of hope and how deeply I slept that night for the first time in so long. And how I have to be helplessly vigilant again because this is what it is. Anyway I’m sad. There’s just so much ache in my body. | Posted on 09/Feb/2021 01:28:10
