He's very skinny, tall, and has two kinds of fur (his undercoat gets matted easily if not brushed daily) and weighs 17 pounds. His tail is skinny and whip-like, and his toes are extremely articulated. Very calm energy, but gets zoomies. We adopted him when he was 3 and he's now 6.
I'm sick and tired of Mayor Butts getting away with embezzlement, with suppressing First Amendment rights, and now this. Inglewood already paid out millions when Butts ran a red light and put an LAPD cop in the hospital (and then lied about it until video footage surfaced). He's a corrupt and terrible person, and this SHOULD be the last straw.
How do other Asians deal with this type of behavior in their official city Facebook groups? The mayor of my city will actively like these types of comments and even started a "Black Dollar Day" where residents were supposed to boycott "Chinese laundromats" and "Korean donut shops" and "Vietnamese nail salons," because apparently hiring other Asians means "Asians are stealing Black Dollars from the community." Even categorizing different Asian countries into specific industries feels racist to me. I had sent reporter Frank Shyong screenshots of the Mayor making racist comments and hearting racist posts, but then the LA Times was bought and he stopped working on the story. This was years ago, but seeing stuff like the comments in the screenshot really pulls all the pain of being a second-class human being right back up, and reminds me that Asian experiences are actively ignored by media.
I feel exhausted seeing this. The anti-Asian rhetoric has only grown since COVID around here, literally 2 mile from LAX international airport in Los Angeles. Asians are only 2% of the population in my city and that seems to give people permission to be racist. I'm so tired of being afraid and angry and so many other emotions.
