Young Asians and Latinos push their parents to acknowledge racism amid protests

The children and grandchildren of immigrants have joined the Black Lives Matter movement, but they often have to explain to their parents why change is necessary

“The argument began as soon as Charlie Mai and his brother, Henry, announced their plans to attend a Black Lives Matter protest that evening in D.C. Their father was not having it.

Glenn Mai, a retired FBI agent, had been raised in Dallas by Chinese immigrants who had taught him that he would succeed if he just worked hard.

“Chinese culture is very much about working within the system,” Glenn, 54, said, and during decades in law enforcement, he’d come to believe the system worked.

His son, Charlie, 24, took a different view. “My father deeply believes that everyone has a fair chance, which is just basically untrue,” said Charlie, an artist who fled New York for his family’s home in Northern Virginia because of the pandemic. “It’s very Asian to me, that view that if everyone just works hard, then everything will turn out right for them. I’m definitely a little reactive to that because I think that’s delusional.”

Help a black autistic nonbinary person make the bills?

I’ve been waiting for my last check to deposit for two months now and my savings have been run dry. I just have to cover the family phone bill and the family storage space with all our crap in it and hopefully it deposits before the next bill dates.

Phone: $126

Storage: $130

My mom broke the femur in her amputated leg so I mean, at least I don’t have to pay rent now that she’s in a rehab center? That’s cold comfort but anything helps.

I thought I was the only one who didn't like the remix. Even the fake fan-made remixes before were trash. Different energy, the lyrics doesn't match, the way she raps doesn't match. It's just so unnecessary maybe for a different single but not say so
