Yoko Ono and Asian-American Identity

  • Yoko Ono's career consists of over half a century of art, music, and activism. Yet despite this, public knowledge of her is limited to her famous husband and unsubstantiated rumours about her breaking up his band. This video aims to fix that, looking at Yoko Ono outside of her relationship to any one man, examining her life, art, and the ways she expressed her identity as an Asian American woman through them. This video also examines the history of anti-Asian racism in misogyny in America behind why Yoko was and continues to be viewed differently than her white male peers and contemporaries. I had initially begun writing this video in 2021, in solidarity with the Stop Asian Hate movement that began in response to a rise in Anti-Asian hate crimes. It took me almost two years to finish writing, recording, and editing the video. Despite the public conversation having moved on (sadly, it seems, to a similar rise in anti-LGBTQ+ violence), these issues continue to be relevant, and I wanted to cover them within a more specific context relevant to my interests.

    I have been a fan of Yoko's work for many years. People have always been so nasty to her, and I experienced a lot of hate for liking her. I'm so happy she is being discovered by younger people today. If you are just learning about her from this video, please look into her art and music. You will be pleasantly surprised.

    I didn't realize that some feminists basically have been saying exactly the same thing for decades, the mainstream culture just didn't listen and misinterpret their message instead. 30:26 This song is basically saying that, yes, women can also be part of the problem, if they help perpetuate toxic patriarchal ideas. But people discuss this topic today as if no one had realized this until yesterday, and misogynists even weaponize it... to perpetuate toxic patriarchal ideas even more, ironically.

      I'm glad you enjoy my videos 😅. Don't worry, I'm still alive and have a view more videos in the pipeline, but I want to make something bigger and more elaborate which requires a lot of research.

    No sexualization of fishmen. The ultimate Yokopost? More like the ultimate Yokofail. 0/10.
    For real though, great video, your labour bares many ripe fruits.

    Will you do an analysis on The Dark Side of the Moon when it's 50th anniversary comes?

    • @adambaker2967
      @adambaker2967  Год назад +2

      I definitely want to do a video on that album at some point, and, after making the video on The Wall, had initially planned to do it on the anniversary as I had done for that video. Needless to say, I didn't make that deadline, and have a couple of other albums that are in the pipeline before that one. However, it is still planned, and I'm in the preliminary stages of research.
