Is it Racism, Or Am I Just Paranoid?
what i feel too often.

There are just those days when I wonder - am I even oppressed? A good friend mentioned the Oppression Olympics the other day - the ongoing tensions between communities of color and the underlying dialogue of ‘who’s more oppressed?’. I feel today - as I sit here reciting litanies of racist and sexist incidents that have happened to me - that I’m in the regional qualifying championships, crossing my fingers and hoping my stylistic achievements will compensate for my underwhelming routine. All so I can compete for my team (and who the heck is that?) against others who have been through these grueling years of practice, practice, practice. It shouldn’t have to be like that.

Hair
my most favorite entry on my most favorite blog

I am a 2nd generation South Asian American woman. I cut my hair almost exactly 10 months ago today. I cut it from waist length to pixie cut. Even today I am ashamed that I use my hair to speak for my politics in places where I don’t have the strength to speak. And a little tiny part of me is proudashamedliberatedchained about the assumptions that I think other South Asian American women of my generation make about me.
