I want to name how tired I am as a women of color professor who teaches and researches race/racism. When I get attacked, it isn't just an intellectual debate. My very identity is at stake. On top of that, I am expected to justify myself and soothe the attacker. It's too much.
Grateful to all of the Asian American scholars, writers, and activists, esp. Asian American women, who have been writing and speaking out in the media this week. Here's a thread of some of the best articles I've seen; feel free to add others I've missed.

Mahadevi ? (replica), Shiva Lingam, and Shiva as the dancer (Nataraja). After Tamil merchants left China, their temples came down to ruins. These stone carvings were reused by local Buddhists, who worshipped them as Buddhist or Daoist deities.
Asked @AOC re this dancing video. She said: "It is not normal for elected officials to have a reputation for dancing well and I'm happy to be one." & "It is unsurprising to me that Republicans would think having fun should be disqualifying or illegal" youtube.com/watch?v=Qj2Xal…
