Thank you for speaking about your experience, Amanda. It’s been so heartbreaking to watch the news and to hear how you’ve been treated throughout the pandemic and for your entire life. I feel like so many Canadians ignore our issues with racism and pretend we’re an idyllic multicultural society with no xenophobia or discrimination, which is just so far from the truth. I am horrified by the hatred being put on display by so many ignorant people but sadly I am not surprised. I hope the stationery community can come together and support Asian creators, businesses, and art forms. This video was so informative and beautifully done and I so appreciate the emotional labour you put into creating it 🖤

I’m a second generation Chinese-Dutch girl, and I used to think it’s normal, the jokes insulting China and my culture, looking at me weird when I go to the Asian supermarket near my school, the questions I get asked when people meet me. You really opened my eyes, making me realise that’s not what people are supposed to go to, so thank you for doing this Edit: I remembered something I wanted to say. I’m in the middle of choosing my future career path, and when I told the teacher I wanted to study science, and work in the medical world, he asked if that’s what I wanted, or what my parents wanted. It just seemed as a legitimate question, but asking my friends I found out it was only asked to me, my Asians friends that didn’t choose science didn’t get asked that question, and other people didn’t either. It was a question that wasn’t that bad at first, but later I realise it came from stereotypes about Asian parents. Yeah. That’s what I wanted to say I think

I'm a teen of color and when I imagrated to Canada I felt so so left out... I was bullied too. I got racist comments often saying "go back to your country" or "you aren't us!" These comments made me feel like I wanted to be white instead. Eventually I became friends with people of color and they told me that they felt the same sometimes. I've now started getting more connected to my culture instead and I fight back when I get racist comments. Ty so much for this video Amanda and addressing this problem I salute you!!🙂

Thank you for the bit of history, I learned a lot. Bless you Amanda.

@vijayanareddy6787 3 года назад

As apart of the Asian community, it is so important to stress that these attacks have been happening for a long time, and people are just starting to bring awareness. People are attacking all Asians but especially our elders, which brings our community a lot of pain seeing that respecting elders are a big part of our culture. I love how you included Canada statistics, obviously since your Canadian, but also since many people assume that Canada doesn’t have racism. Thank you Amanda for speaking out about the Asian hate crimes. They can’t burn us all.

@carochan86 3 года назад

I don't know enough about Canada but I do know that many Chinese ( correct me if I'm wrong) buy apartments and homes in Canada. The homes sit and there are very few places to rent therefore the cost of rent sky rockets. It's not those Chinese families faults they wanted a home in Toronto ( correct me if I wrong) .? Its the Canadian Government that allows rent to be exorbitant. Maybe those of Asian decent are getting the brunt and anger of what the Canadian Government is doing or NOT doing.

@peaceofpaperbindery 3 года назад

Why can’t everyone appreciate the diverse cultures and traditions of the world for being fascinating and beautiful? There are imperfect people in every culture and in every time. People can be cruel and selfish and mean in any culture. But there can also be good and kind and beautiful human beings in any culture. Can’t we embrace who we are, flaws and all, and embrace others with their imperfections but also with their beauty. I personally am from a pretty sheltered small town, so I don’t see other cultures very often, but when I do, I find them beautiful and fascinating and love learning about their personal stories and hearing some of their languages. I think you’re beautiful, Amanda, inside and out. ❤️

@nixthelapin9869 3 года назад

I’m white, but many of my friends in high school were Asian because my town has a pretty high Asian population. Much of those friends and their families immigrated from China. It was really interesting to see the diversity among this group in of itself. There was a lot of variation in their fluency in English (since they were from China, their first language is Chinese) and how they interacted with American culture. But it was also sad to see that the ones who were less fluent in English were less connected with other students or couldn’t get into the higher classes (like honors or AP) because they can’t keep up with the language, even if they’re smart enough to do the class. One kid in one of my classes would have a digital translator for when we took tests so he could actually take the test (which obviously meant he took longer). Then there’s the name thing- taking up European names to fit in with the culture. Sometimes, it is a practical issue, like it being difficult to pronounce in some languages. Like one of my friends’ names was really hard to pronounce, no matter how much I tried, so I used her English name even when I used the Chinese names of my other friends (which she was very sweet about- I felt really bad about it). But that’s not the case most of the time- it’s just not wanting to use ethnic names. Most of my friends’ names were really easy to pronounce, but they weren’t European so it didn’t come naturally to people here in America. People don’t like things that are different, so they try to avoid it. None of us are exempt, myself included, but we should all make the effort to embrace the different in our lives :) Thank you for the beautiful discussion Amanda!

Good Lord these people hate themselves, how can they love others? You should be proud of your chinese background and you should learn more about Chinese culture in the future. It will definitely help your inner self, your personality and your work. I am Greek but I have always been fascinated by other cultures. Take care and keep posting those amazing videos!

I am so happy that someone is speaking up about this and confidently as well because so many people just stay quite because they're too afraid or something but it's so important that we speak up about this so that in the future people won't see asians as objects or people that you shouldn't associate with

I’m white and born+raised in America, but THANK YOU for sharing your experience, Amanda! It’s SOOOOOO important to spread awareness of racism in the Western world, and I really do appreciate that you did this, especially since this was probably hard to talk about. Hopefully those who need to hear this most will find this video. Much love from Texas ❤️❤️❤️

amanda- thank you so much for using your platform to speak up about anti-racism. as a second generation asian-american, i can definitely relate to some of the identity issues you brought up in this video and your words helped me open my eyes to some of the internalized racism i've grown up with. this video really gave me a fresh perspective on not only the injustices the asian community faces but also on learning to celebrate my heritage, and i'm really grateful that you dedicated this video to such an important topic. ❤️

I am Filipino but studied in a Chinese Buddhist School in the Philippines. A class is specially allocated for Chinese calligraphy and that is where I learned how to hold brushes and the strokes that we use now for brush calligraphy. As an asian working in the middle east, racism is manifested on our payroll - arab vs non arab, local or not. And added to that fact is the gender discrimination. It is a daily struggle and I am glad to see people speak up about this. Thank you Amanda for dedicating your April Plan With me for racism (this also happens to be my birth month).

@lizbennett220 3 года назад

THANK YOU for this video. I’m Korean American and I really related to what you said. I know it takes a lot to be open about our experiences with racial injustices. I think you’re criticism of the stationary community is valid and fair. Consuming our culture without allyship feels wrong. Thank you for this video! The artwork was really beautiful too!

@eissaphir 3 года назад

Thank you so much for sharing your story! Being "only" mixed myself, I thought it wasn't fair of me to feel like I was affected by Asian hate/racism and part of the Asian community, but you talking about the topic and your experiences in particular have helped to show me how wrong I was. I don't speak Korean & have never been there, & especially the part where you talk about micro-aggressions hit me hard because I have experienced all of them myself. I'm sorry it was so exhausting for you to speak about this (I hope you feel better soon!!) but I'm very grateful you did! This video reminded me that my experiences with racism are valid and showed me I'm not alone ♥️

I have so much respect for you sharing your truth and using your platform to talk about things like this. I will always show my support for the Asian community and any other marginalized group. I have previously Lived in Asia and to this day I work in an Asian business and so I have a lot of love and respect for those cultures and have been able to see a lot of the discrimination that the Asian community has faced. Sending you much love.

@nilzr7984 3 года назад

The part that you said you didn’t show your face at first really made me sad. As an Iranian I really felt everything you said. My profession is art and the fact that western don’t count on Asian arts really sucks. I mean there are lots of countries with amazing art and art history such as Iran, India, China, Japan and more, and if you look at books about art history there’s just few pages about us. It’s only because they define art, and that definition is west art history. Anyway so glad you talked about this. You are really inspiring. Keep going. ✨

@lacroixreads 3 года назад

Thank you for not only educating us but also speaking on your personal experience. I couldn't begin to understand the way you have felt over your lifetime, but thank you for being so open about it and allowing us to listen. You are so strong! I hope things get better for the entire Asian community, and I have definitely learned a lot about the history of Asian hate. I'll be proud to stand up to people using micro-aggressions and saying racially insensitive things. We love you

@sewonpark2361 3 года назад

Thank you Rachel for speaking up about the microaggressions and sharing your experience. It's never easy to speak up about racism, misogyny and other topics you mentioned. Thank you for pointing out the topics without using harsh words for those who might be trigger or get upset. It's never easy to use your platform to advocate for what you believe and include political topics. I really appreciate that you took the time to research and educate not only yourself but also the viewers. I hope that the hate crimes and racism will improve by others understanding and learning/relearning their actions, thoughts and nuances. I think we can all make a better world for everyone by making this place a little less scary and everyone understanding to those who are different. I mean, imagine a world where everyone is exactly the same. I appreciate the differences and that we can all learn from the unfortunate incidents. Thank you Rachel and everyone who is actively learning and unlearning and relearning.

I am new to the journaling community (started with Elizabeth at PBB ) so I am catching up on your videos and was so impressed to watch this one. Amanda, thank you for talking about this very important subject with such honesty and clarity. As a black women from America who grew up in an all white area, I can truly emphasize with your experiences and thoughts ( and, yes all the facts and statistics!).It is so very disheartening to see all this hate continuing to thrive around the world. But, when I see young talented women like you and Elizabeth sharing your truths and speaking up against hate and violence, I am filled with hope. While we each have are own stories regarding race and its myriad of layers and complications, one simple solution is to talk. The more we talk, the more we learn. So thank you….and, it goes without saying….your spreads are so beautiful, fun and inspiring 👼🏾🙏🏽💖

When I was small, my best friends were Japanese and Spanish and now i have two classmades, who are Vietnamese and I find it totaly normal. Honestly, I never thought abot your nationality until now. It was just you, makin these inspireing bulletjournal videos. I wish you all strenght you will ever need :) This video was amazing and it opened my eyes

@megangibson4331 3 года назад

I really appreciate your honest reflection, as well as the fact that you are using your voice to educate and support groups experiencing racism. Personal experiences are exactly that, personal, and no one can assume they understand how others feel - this is so important that we hear it from you. Thank you! BTW, your journal pages are always inspiring, plus you tell us how these setups come to pass (I love the paper cranes spread and its origin story, for example)! You also make it more approachable to try some of your pages ourselves, and I love them all!

I am a 15 year old Japanese and everyone in my family and relatives is Japanese born in Japan. From October 2016 to June 2020, I have lived in the United States (I live in Japan now). I was very fortunate to be able to attend race-wise diverse schools throughout the four years, and I was proud of my race and nationality until I realized that I was /only/ proud of the fact that I am Japanese and that I am bilingual. I am still figuring out what I can be proud of about myself and I do have a vague idea now, but at that time, it was crashing my mental health. It was like if I was anything else than Japanese, I wouldn’t be unique enough. Luckily, I was never faced with discrimination and actually had the best four years in my life, but I’d like to say thank you for voicing that Asians aren’t “one.” Even if we are all Asian, we are different and unique individuals.

Thank you Amanda for speaking up for the Asian community! I too am disappointed in the lack of engagement from people in the stationary community, almost everyone who talks about hate against Asians are, well, Asians.. And your personal story really resonates with me as well, I'm a Korean that can't speak Korean. Love this theme, it's a beautiful tribute!!

I relate to a lot of what you said and you perfectly articulated a lot of thoughts that I've internalized over the years. I'm first gen Iranian-American. My dad is from Iran but my mom is American, and I never grew up speaking my dad's language, Farsi, at home. There was a lot of resentment growing up, and even now, as a 28 year old, I am learning to forgive myself for that resentment. And this is coming from someone who works in immigration and I dedicate my career to helping other immigrants! Like you said, we have these two conflicting identities and too often there is an erasure of one or both cultures when trying to integrate with our classmates or society as a whole. It takes time, and I am so glad you made this video to share a part of your identity and speak up for injustice ❤️

I’m so happy you spoke on current news and how much the community is hurting rn. I’m so sorry this is going on, but I’m happy to have listened and taken in your experience and the hate the community has been experiencing for centuries. Some I knew, some I did not. It was still a wake up call and I’m glad I took the time to listen. I hope you’re okay, I truly do. No one deserves the pain the community is experiencing due to the pandemic. I am here to listen, and spread your voices.

@sharleekrogh2622 3 года назад
