Ryan Alexander Holmes Instagram - they NOT like us FR FR 😂
.
YELLOW FACE dates to early forms of minstrelsy when ethnic white actors would darken their faces and use prosthetics and costumes to appear Asian. The term itself came from similar acts of BLACKFACE that were popular, when white actors colored their skin to caricature black people and culture.

Ryan Alexander Holmes Instagram - As a kid i heard the stereotype that black ppl liked watermelon & fried chicken & I was like “you mean Chinese ppl?” bc we BOTH LOVE BOTH. who doesn’t?! 🍉
origin: “The watermelon stereotype is an anti-Black racist trope originating in the Southern United States. It first arose as a backlash against African-American emancipation and economic self-sufficiency in the late 1860s.

After the American Civil War, in several areas of the south, former slaves grew watermelon on their own land as a cash-crop to sell. Thus, for African-Americans, watermelons were a symbol of liberation and self-reliance, while for many in the majority white culture they embodied, and threatened, a loss of dominance. Southern-white resentment against African Americans led to a politically potent cultural caricature, using the watermelon to disparage African Americans as sloppy, childish, unclean, lazy, and publicly embarrassing.” - Black, William R. (2018). “How Watermelons Became Black: Emancipation and the Origins of a Racist Trope”. Journal of the Civil War Era.

Ryan Alexander Holmes Instagram - representation allows us to see ourselves for who we always knew ourselves to be all along and not the stereotypes shoved down our throats. also don’t for a second allow the credit to be given to anybody but ourselves, the door wasn’t opened for us, we kicked it down [last slide energy], we made the change we are seeing and enjoying. 

this shoot was the first time ever that i was on a set where the entire cast and crew were POC. most of my career I’ve been the only one. misunderstood, misdirected, misguided to act untrue to my nature because I thought it was what I had to do in order to fit in, in order to be successful, there was no alternative in sight because there was no one that looked like me in sight. but this was different - to feel myself reflected back, to be able to speak freely and be understood, it was a profound experience and I couldn’t stop taking pause to bask in it. times are changing. our spirits have claimed our rightful pasture to finally run free. the art will be unlike anything we’ve seen before.

Ryan Alexander Holmes Instagram - my father was the first in his family to achieve a college degree, first to achieve a law degree, the first of his kind in powerful organizations that never previously gave people like him access, and once he gained entry he transformed them. 

he showed me through example that belonging can be solely internal if it has to be, one does not ever have to “wait to belong”, you establish a sense of belonging internally then project that outwards in any environment you find yourself in. belonging does not have to be outside-in, it can be inside-out, the latter allows you the power to never be reliant on anyone or anything to feel like you belong. 

he taught me that i belong anywhere and everywhere, external circumstances be damned. 
and he did it with a smile on his face, so that’s why you always see a smile on mine. 

happy father’s day old man. i love the hell outta you.

happy father’s day old man. i love the hell outta you.
Ryan Alexander Holmes Instagram - my father was the first in his family to achieve a college degree, first to achieve a law degree, the first of his kind in powerful organizations that never previously gave people like him access, and once he gained entry he transformed them. 

he showed me through example that belonging can be solely internal if it has to be, one does not ever have to “wait to belong”, you establish a sense of belonging internally then project that outwards in any environment you find yourself in. belonging does not have to be outside-in, it can be inside-out, the latter allows you the power to never be reliant on anyone or anything to feel like you belong. 

he taught me that i belong anywhere and everywhere, external circumstances be damned. 
and he did it with a smile on his face, so that’s why you always see a smile on mine.

Ryan Alexander Holmes Instagram - the reel that started it all 🥹 i never talked about being a mixed chinese blasian before making this, now i wont shutup about it. i wana instill the same pride in others to love their heritage, to love every part of themselves that makes them unique no matter what society and the trolls think, no matter what the “trend” of the time is. you can only be you and there is only one of you in the entire universe so embrace the fact that you are one of kind, you are special, do not rob the world of your shine ✨

YELLOW FACE dates to early forms of minstrelsy when ethnic white actors would darken their faces and use prosthetics and costumes to appear Asian. The term itself came from similar acts of BLACKFACE that were popular, when white actors colored their skin to caricature black people and culture.

Ryan Alexander Holmes - 22.4K Likes - As a kid i heard the stereotype that black ppl liked watermelon & fried chicken & I was like “you mean Chinese ppl?” bc we BOTH LOVE BOTH. who doesn’t?! 🍉
origin: “The watermelon stereotype is an anti-Black racist trope originating in the Southern United States. It first arose as a backlash against African-American emancipation and economic self-sufficiency in the late 1860s.

After the American Civil War, in several areas of the south, former slaves grew watermelon on their own land as a cash-crop to sell. Thus, for African-Americans, watermelons were a symbol of liberation and self-reliance, while for many in the majority white culture they embodied, and threatened, a loss of dominance. Southern-white resentment against African Americans led to a politically potent cultural caricature, using the watermelon to disparage African Americans as sloppy, childish, unclean, lazy, and publicly embarrassing.” - Black, William R. (2018). “How Watermelons Became Black: Emancipation and the Origins of a Racist Trope”. Journal of the Civil War Era.

Ryan Alexander Holmes - 5.5K Likes - representation allows us to see ourselves for who we always knew ourselves to be all along and not the stereotypes shoved down our throats. also don’t for a second allow the credit to be given to anybody but ourselves, the door wasn’t opened for us, we kicked it down [last slide energy], we made the change we are seeing and enjoying. 

this shoot was the first time ever that i was on a set where the entire cast and crew were POC. most of my career I’ve been the only one. misunderstood, misdirected, misguided to act untrue to my nature because I thought it was what I had to do in order to fit in, in order to be successful, there was no alternative in sight because there was no one that looked like me in sight. but this was different - to feel myself reflected back, to be able to speak freely and be understood, it was a profound experience and I couldn’t stop taking pause to bask in it. times are changing. our spirits have claimed our rightful pasture to finally run free. the art will be unlike anything we’ve seen before.

Ryan Alexander Holmes - 2.8K Likes - my father was the first in his family to achieve a college degree, first to achieve a law degree, the first of his kind in powerful organizations that never previously gave people like him access, and once he gained entry he transformed them. 

he showed me through example that belonging can be solely internal if it has to be, one does not ever have to “wait to belong”, you establish a sense of belonging internally then project that outwards in any environment you find yourself in. belonging does not have to be outside-in, it can be inside-out, the latter allows you the power to never be reliant on anyone or anything to feel like you belong. 

he taught me that i belong anywhere and everywhere, external circumstances be damned. 
and he did it with a smile on his face, so that’s why you always see a smile on mine. 

happy father’s day old man. i love the hell outta you.
