respectability politics has everyone in a chokehold and I am so so sick of it. i dropped my customer service voice in all aspects of my life and while in some instances its made racist ass people regard me a little funny, for the most part people have been nicer (?), or at least more comfortable when talking to me. i have a black new york accent, and I will be using it! and i suggest you all do too!! 😼
"Did you say that because I'm Asian??!" or with my other POC friends, "Oh because you're Black/Latino"
Idk it's kind of funny giving ppl a mini scare that they'll get cancelled hahah.
