2010. When I played a scarface #Asian mafia boss lady on a horror film short production. Filmed at the old Hung Fat #kungfu club in Chinatown. Gentrification got their longtime, oldest kungfu association in BC, evicted a few years ago.

Gloria Tsoi, pictured with me, owns & runs the kung-fu club - passed down from ancestors. We've been friends since the 90s.

#Trans people, #women, people of color [#POC] are being erased

Across #Trump’s federal government, agencies have been busy scrubbing photographic and written references about women, people of color & members of the #LGBTQ+ community from their websites.

"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)."

Was #listening to #PBSNewsHour from last night and I was turned on to #Death, an African-American #PunkRock band, but considered #ProtoPunk because they were ahead of their time compared to other #punk bands according to the Newshour.

Put this album on just now and my mind is blown at how good this is! Not surprising that #PoC musicians are amazing, but this blew away my already high expectations! You have to give this a listen if you haven't!

“POC” was targeted because they thought it meant “people of color.” It stood for “point of care” in medical emergencies: This Is the Research Ted Cruz Calls “Woke.” — ProPublica

I’ve written before that folks from overseas should not visit the US for a variety of reasons.

Some folks, particularly #European people seem skeptical. Here’s a scary story about a #German tourist who’s been held in detention for a month, with some of that in solitary confinement.

Note she had a passport, ESTA, and return ticket home. As predicted and contrary to what was assumed by #White folks, #Nazi don’t just torture #POC.

If you do come have #health #insurance , #travel insurance, #vaccines up to date, and don’t visit if #pregnant

Selbst als queerer, links-grüner Mensch aus Sachsen kommend, sind meine Gedanken am Tag nach der #BTW25 vor allem bei den Menschen in den #noAfD-Hochburgen, die jetzt (noch mehr) Angst haben, sie selbst (#PoC, #queer, #links ...) zu sein. Es kann - mittlerweile aus dem hohen Norden gesendet - nur ein schwacher Trost sein, aber: Ihr seid nicht allein! Fühlt euch umarmt! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈❤️💚

My answer?
Yes, yes they are.

The Credentialed Managerial Class, #white, aspirationally white #PoC, #Black and #indigenous are in an undeclared war against the working class poor they claim to serve!

They don't give a damn about those who can't pass their purity test for the neoliberal value proposition, and that includes the millions of European-Americans desperately clinging to the delusion of #whiteness.

A higher seat at the table, of an unjust system, is not progress, it is a bribe!
