Discussing politics.

Posted bypandamotherlyPosted inFamily, private chats

My housemate and I were discussing the political status of Asian Americans in comparison to African Americans’ last night…and TT decided to offer her view:

Me: Black folks in fact constitute the majority of the city, and so they can amplify their voices and galvanize movements in ways that are more politically impactful. Asian Americans lack the number…
Housemate: How many Asians are there?
Me: Nationally, we are about 6-7%. There are more of us in California…

TT: That means we are losing?

Me and Housemate: LOL

Me: Mmm…yeah?
TT: Are unicorns Asian? If unicorns are Asian, then we can win.
