STOP ASIAN VIOLENCE

As an Asian, I feel like I have the need to speak out, but there might not be a lot of people who see this. So please, if you can, reblog for me. we need to spread the information.

70.9% of 2808 reported incidents are verbal harassment

21.4% of 2080 reported incidents are shunning

8.7% are physical assault

8% are workplace discrimination or refusal of service

6.4% are coughed/spat on

and these are only REPORTED CASES (March - December 2020)

Here are some reported attacks from around May 2021

An 84-year-old Thai immigrant in San Francisco, California, died in February after being violently shoved to the ground during his morning walk

In Oakland, California, a 91-year-old senior was shoved to the pavement from behind

An 89-year-old Chinese woman was slapped and set on fire by two people in Brooklyn, New York

Two Asian American women were stabbed at a San Francisco bus stop; eyewitness reports say the assailant "casually walked away in broad daylight"

An Asian man walking with his 1-year-old child in a stroller in San Francisco was punched in the head and back multiple times

A stranger on the New York subway slashed a 61-year-old Filipino American passenger's face with a box cutter

An Asian American woman in New York City was struck in the head with a hammer by an unidentified assailant who demanded that she remove her mask

Asian American restaurant employees in New York City told the New York Times they now always go home early for fear of violence and harassment

An Asian American butcher shop owner in Sacramento, California found a dead cat - likely intended for her - left in the store's parking lot; police are investigating it as a hate crime

An Asian American family celebrating a birthday at a restaurant in Carmel, California, was berated with racist slurs by a Trump-supporting tech executive

Several Asian Americans homeowners say they've been abused with racial slurs and had rocks thrown at their houses

The only Asian American lawmaker in the Kansas legislature says he was physically threatened in a bar by a patron who accused him of carrying the coronavirus

New York police arrested a man who assaulted a woman during a protest against anti-Asian racism

A grieving family received a hateful letter on the day of their father's funeral, telling them to "pack your bags and go back to your country where you belong"

A school board candidate of Vietnamese descent in Portland, Oregon, found a note with the words "Kung Flu" on her doorstep

A medical worker of Filipino descent in Los Gatos, California was shoved to the ground from behind by an assailant who told her to "go back to [expletive] China"

A Thai woman was brutally beaten and robbed of her phone while commuting on a train in San Francisco

These incidents are best explained by the "widespread omission" of Asian Americans within cultural conversations, according to Amanda Nguyen, an activist, and the founder of the Rise civil rights not-for-profit organization.

Of the 832 incidents reported in California, many included anti-Asian slurs and references to China and the coronavirus. One assailant yelled about "bringing that Chinese virus over here" during an attack against an Asian-American man at a San Francisco hardware store on May 6. The assailant reportedly also said "Go back to China," "F*ck you, Chinaman" and "F*ck you, you monkey." In Santa Clara on June 16, a man kicked a woman's dog and then spat at her, saying, "Take your disease that's ruining our country and go home."

Asian American families shouldn't be worrying about returning back to school, buying groceries, working, and so on, in their country. They shouldn't be worrying about their family going on a morning walk and not coming back.

"These are real people just living their lives and encountering this kind of hate,"

Yes, black lives STILL matter. Yes, LGBTQ+'s rights still matter. But I feel like we are overlooking the Asian Hate.

BLM, LGBTQ+, Asian Hate, women's rights, and more. They're NOT a trend, and I DESPISE those people who see these as a trend to get more fame. We are all in this together, there's no race in this pandemic. The virus isn't racist, you won't get the virus BECAUSE you are white, you won't get the virus BECAUSE you are black. Skin colors do NOT matter to the virus, so why should they matter to us? If we want to end this pandemic, we need to fight TOGETHER.

Thank you for spending your time reading this. Please, if you can, reblog.

I’m not dating till a boy falls in love with me the way james loved lily

snape hate

Let’s start from the beginning. Before Snape even reaches Hogwarts, he drops a tree branch on petunias head, which shows he wasn’t afraid to hurt people. We know that as a child, Snape was deeply invested in the dark arts. This was part of the the reason James hated him. Snape, in return hated James and the Marauders by extension. Snape complained about the Marauders to Lily, saying that their pranking was rude and mean. Snape however, was part of a friend group who bullied Mary McDonald, a friend of Lily’s. By bullying, I mean cursing her.

Snape also called Lily a mudblood when he was 15. He then tried to justify it by saying that she and she only was different. He also said it “slipped out” meaning he had been saying it in his head for a while.

Snap joins the death eaters, and tells Voldemort about the prophecy. When he finds out that the child in the prophecy is Harry, he begs Dumbledore to save Lily but he doesn’t care about James or Harry. If he really loved Lily he would want James and Harry safe too.

Fast forward 11 years, Harry’s first year at Hogwarts. On Harry’s first day, Snape asks Harry difficult potions questions which Harry didn’t know. As a professor, he should know that Harry only just found out he was a wizard. This is one of many examples of Snape bullying his students. Snape is often condescending to his students (minus the Slytherins). Perfect example being Neville. Neville's greatest fear was Snape, which is so messed up because a student shouldn’t be scared of his teacher; especially when this specific students parents were tortured into insanity by a death eater. Reasonably, Neville's greatest fear should be Bellatrix  Lestrange. Now there are many other occasions when Snape has bullied his students, but one that i remember vividly is when Draco hexed Hermione to make her teeth grow to an abnormal size. Snape looked at them and said, and I quote: “I see no difference.” Also, when Rita Skeeter was slut shaming Hermione in an article, Snape read it out loud in the class.

In Harry’s third year, Snape substitutes a class for Remus. In this class he teaches about werewolves, the homework he sets is how to recognize and kill them. Now not only does this risk exposing Remus, it takes away Remus’ right to teach werewolves as what they really were - afflicted people. Basically, when he exposed Remus, he took away Remus’ chances of getting another job in the wizarding world. Remember, Remus had lived in poverty for a majority of his life and being a professor at Hogwarts was his one chance to escape that. This is pretty annoying considering Remus was being civil to Snape. In the shrieking shack, Snape ignores Remus and Sirius and wants to give them to the dementors without listening to their story - all because of a childhood grudge. (Which the marauders matured from). Constantly made jabs at Sirius for not being able to do much for the order knowing that it wasn’t Sirius’ fault.

Physically abused Harry during occlumency lessons. When he was in Harry’s head for the occlumency lessons, he walked into the memory of the mirror of Erised and said: “feeling sentimental Potter”. Like what a jerk - as if he wasn’t the reason Harry had no parents.

That whole thing when he ripped apart a picture of a happy family to pretend Lily’s love was directed to him. That was creepy and obsessive. Walked over James’ body and ignored a crying child so he could cry over Lily’s dead body - a demonstration of his love, creepy and unhelpful. (I know this wasn't in the books, but most Snape stanners are movie watcher)

He invented the Sectumsempra spell. It was his specialty which shows that he used it a lot. He even cursed of George’s ear! This spell aims to kill which is slightly messed up for a 16 year old boy to make.

Now people try to justify his actions by saying that he had an abusive childhood. Sirius had an abusive childhood and still managed to be a good person. Harry was neglected and still managed to be a good person. Being abused as a child is no excuse to be a bad person.

They also try to justify his actions by saying he was in love with Lily. He was kind of obsessed with her but that’s a whole other debate. Just because he liked her, doesn’t mean him being a jerk should be ignored. What’s even creepier is that if Harry looked like Lily, Snape would’ve liked him.

Snape was brave by going spy, but that doesn’t mean we ignore his horrible actions. It’s doesn’t justify them either.

Black teens shouldn’t have to worry about being killed by cops.

LGBTQ+ teens shouldn’t have to worry about being thrown out or assaulted.

Asian teens shouldn’t have to worry about being attacked or facing xenophobia.

Latino teens shouldn’t have to worry about being told they don’t belong here or having family members deported. 

Low-income teens shouldn’t have to worry about how to succeed in a world stacked against them.

Teens shouldn’t have to worry about climate change or school shootings or all the other stuff they do, and underprivileged and minority teens have even more to worry about. Let’s change the world so future generations don’t have to go through this. 

im so deep into marauders that sometimes i genuinely forget about the fact that we have 7 books about harry

like, what do you mean he's old and he saved the whole wizarding world? no no no, look at him he's 5 and he plays with lego

Eleven: Mike, spell ‘perfect’

Mike: E-L-E-V-E-N

Lucas: Aww that’s sweet

Lucas: Max, spell ‘perfect’

Max: M-A-X

The whole Harry Potter series is basically just a noseless idiot tries to kill a boy seven times killing a lot of people instead then he ended up dead and it’s a very sad happily ever after.
