Hello! Welcome to COTL, a discussion place for BIPOC. Posted the first 3 Wednesdays of the month
Thread Rules
- We ask that only those who identify as people of color participate in this discussion. White Avocados, while valued members of this community, should remain in ‘lurk’ mode.
- Shaming and hateful speech are unacceptable.
- Please keep potentially traumatic content safely behind spoiler tags.
- Nobody on this thread is more or less a person of color than anyone else. (We will not set clearly delineated boundaries on who qualifies as a ‘person of color.’ As a starting point, this thread uses the definition of ‘non-European heritage of sufficient prominence to affect one’s navigation of a society built on white normativity.’ However, we recognize that there are identities which skirt either side of the divide. If people feel that they meaningfully experience the identity of being a person of color, then they are welcome to participate.)
Soo yeahhhhh… It is the Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month in the US.
I’m not sure how big of a festivity it is in the US, in fact I’m not entirely sure about the honorifics and the rather large grouping? It’s not something we celebrate in the UK. I only really heard about it last year, to be honest. Still given the last few years, I think it’s worth it. Either way, I humbly apologise for not mentioning the celebration sooner.
Prompt: Are you aware of this month? How do you celebrate?
Feel free to go off topic & discuss anything else you feel like & have a nice 😊.
