Ask Me   Artist Mae Lee | 24 | Asian American
Blog | Facebook | Twitter | Website

A struggling artist trying to make it. Sometimes I'll indulge in fandom amidst artwork postings and sketches. Actually most of the time. Also, I apparently have a lot of feelings about racism and sexism.

Current shows I'm watching are Nikita, Hawaii Five-O, The Walking Dead, Elementary, probably more to come as long as people of color are represented.

Anti white washing, anti white privilege, anti racism, anti sexism, anti all other isms...people just need to be decent people.

"Every black american is bilingual. All of them. We speak street vernacular and we speak job interview. There’s a certain way I gotta speak to have access. If I’m sitting across the table from a studio executive, ya know, somtimes they’ll do it to me. (mimics executive) “Hey my man what’s happening”. Hold up. Hold up, no no no no no. And I gotta throw out them big words. I gotta let them know that my parents are probably smarter than your parents. Much better educated than your parents. But they may not have had the access that your parents had."

Dave Chappelle (Inside The Actors Studio)

Every damn time. Until it’s time to flip the script on they ass

(via hamburgerjack) Super relevant as I’m now reading “The Skin That We Speak,” about how language is used in the classroom. The essay that I’m currently reading right now outlines just how pervasive English is as a colonialist tool, and how this effects black children in the education system. (via thebloggart)
