    Can we also talk about anti-Asian racism ? Like the woman that got pushed down the track of NYC, that was also heartbreaking to read

      They won’t talk about that bc of who pushed down the Asian people. It doesn’t fit the narrative.

      @@hispanic88 I know but it needs to be addressed. It's not just about anti blackness now

      Not for nothing, both the anti-Asian and anti-LGBTQ+ community got results so much faster than anything anti-black. We’ve been dealing with the racism for years. There wasn’t a law or movement put into place for us (Brown
      Melanated people) for a very long time.

    Feels like way more needs to be addressed. The title is a much bigger topic than this short story.
