Tbh I think I have some internalized racism still I rlly need to get rid of
cuz like I see a person that looks Asian (east Asian, south Asian, south East Asian, whatever, for all of them) and esp if they’re like really an adult like 30s or older for some reason I expect them to have an accent? But then they have an American one? Literally why, I don’t have an accent my brother doesn’t, I grew up with lots of other Asians and I never think someone who appears to be white, black, or Hispanic will have an accent for example when sometimes it turns out they do when they open their mouth
though where I grew up most of the Asian kids were 2nd or 3rd gen immigrants and their parents or grandparents did have accents tho the big surge of Asians started in the 19th and 20th centuries
the lack of seeing Asians on tv was getting to me but I rlly need to manage to stop this
