ABC News · Chinese Australians reflect on work in politics, as federal parliament resumesBy Ning Pan

"The first aspect of the foundation of capitalism is [that] the African woman's womb is capital producing, and that's a difference, the fundamental difference between other forms of indentured servitude...My mantra is capitalism is the highest form of organized crime, founded on stolen land, stolen people, and genocide." - Dr. S.E. Anderson

Join Dr. S.E. Anderson on the Resistant Communiqués Podcast as we explore the complex interplay between race and class. Explore chattel slavery and its foundational role in capitalism. Discover how the exploitation of African women's bodies and wombs as capital laid the groundwork for systemic inequalities that persist today. Uncover the truths of African and Black history in the U.S. with us.

"Chinese and Indigenous communities have shared histories. We faced hardships together while mining for gold in the British Columbia gold rush and experiencing the rugged Canadian weather and terrain.

There are many graves on First Nations territories when Chinese people died from the flu and from the building of the railway, crushed by landslides, collapsing tunnels and premature blastings (Mittelstedt, 2014). The First Nations communities took in the Chinese railroad workers and care for their grave sites to this day (Mittelstedt, 2014). We enjoyed economic success and partnerships that were respectful and mutually beneficial (Ma, 2012). Chinese people leased lands (on First Nations) to farm and then hired Indigenous people to help farm the land (Mathur et al., 2011, p. 74). The Chinese built elaborate gold-mining operations among First Nations communities and perhaps most importantly our communities intermingled and there were many marriages between Chinese men and Indigenous women. In 1891, 98% of Chinese people in Canada lived in British Columbia (Barman, 2013, p. 1), which explains why there are such intimate ties between Chinese people and our First Nations communities in British Columbia. Unsurprisingly, one in six Chinese men created a family with a local Indigenous woman (Barman, 2013, p. 1)."

The #HeritageFoundation's #Project2025 has faced an upsurge in scrutiny for its blueprint to transform the entire federal government into a #RightWing army to do #DonaldTrump's bidding, including ending the #independence of the #JusticeDepartment and allowing any nonpartisan worker who won't back the agenda to be fired at will. But less attention has been focused on the project's detailed plans on #RaceRelations.

#AltRight’s #AsianFetish

The #WhiteSupremacists on the #FarRight have #YellowFever — an #AsianWoman fetish. It’s a confusing mix.

The #ModelMinorityMyth exists alongside another dangerous & limiting idea — one that is consistent with the alt-right’s #misogyny & core #AntiFeminist values. The main problem with white women, as many alt-right #AsianFetishists have noted, is they’ve become too #feminist.

Here's the thing: It's my #POC community & as I'm a part of that, some of my #responsibilities is to address it within that community. It's not #WhiteFolks' jobs to do that - calling out/calling in/educating #diaspora Asian folks suffering from #InternalizedRacism & hurting fellow #Asians.

Just like it's not POC's jobs to deal with white #racists - it's the responsibilities of white folks to deal with problematic bigots in their own communities.

And now they're in the #BBC archives & there is some pretty grim stuff.... including the citation of letters in the Daily Mail as representative of the general view on #racerelations.... plus the great work of Barry Thorne complaining about the Black & White Minstrel show straits in 1962 & continuing for over a decade being rebuffed by top management in largely #racist terms... shocking stuff!
