“Following Ferguson: Asian Americans Can Choose ‘Invisibility, Complicity, or Resistance’”
“Communities of color have unique experiences that should not be equated with one another. People of color in the U.S. all live amidst white supremacy, but not everyone lives as targets of anti-blackness. Jung argues that Asian Americans have three options: “invisibility, complicity, or resistance.””

There are lots of interesting questions about allying across experiences of racism, without diminishing or collapsing any of those experiences.
I think this demonstrates the benefit of 50 years of scholarship and education and identity building because some groups of people at least have learned lessons from the past.
