KFANYC2: Notes from my talk about “Yellow Fever”

August 13th, 2009

Here is my talk, via mp3 (on Vimeo).

I was videorecording it, but the camera was knocked over (you can hear it within the first 10secs) and then the picture was all weird afterwards.

So, I put the mp3 up with the picture of my iBook desktop wallpaper.

Attempting to pass my kvetch as a semi-intelligent argument…

Asian woman are constantly sexually harassed in America.

White girls, black girls, Latinas…sorry, I love y’all but what Asian women go through is ridiculous.

I mean, even my mom gets harassed. And she’s a slightly frumpy middle-aged woman who walks around in golfing clothes. Although, yes, she has a cute figure and looks really youthful.

Anyways, I’ve had strange men proposition me on the street (this is a thread I started on FetLife)

Just walking down the street -- I have a sense that all the boys think I’m the modern-day reincarnation of this chick:

I mean, when I came home from post-KFANYC2 partying, some guy tried to follow me into my apartment. This happens more often than it should -- to me, to my fellow Asian female friends.

And I don’t even want to get started about the racist harassment that happens on social networking sites.

But y’know how we deal? Or at least, how I deal?

You’re gonna harass me anyways? You’re gonna send me creepy messages with pictures of porn Asian chicks?

Fine, I’ll wear short skirts. I’ll put on ‘ho gear. Because the fact is, I ain’t fuckin’ you. You’re hurting yourself waaay more than you hurt me.

Ok, end of bitter rant.

Back to regularly scheduled programming of rainbows and kittens.
