>>102398823>this is somehow considered not prejudice to straight up admit, "I'm so happy I don't have to deal with diversity for once". All because it's not a white person saying it.i think if you read the picture you posted a little better you'll find that he's not happy because he doesn't have to deal with diversity, rather he's happy because diversity has allowed his culture to be represented.
Crazy Rich Asians has an all Asian cast, but it's pretty myopic to take that one fact and proclaim it's somehow anti-diversity and that its value is tied to how it excludes other races. In the West, most media concerns, is made by, and is consumed by white people. Even as an All-Asian movie, it's one Asian drop in a largely Caucasian bucket.They're the norm, and if you're Asian-American, having to deal with being the other most of the time can be stifling.
It's not that it's progressive because Asian-Americans don't have to deal with other races, it's progressive because it allows Asian-Americans a space where they're not the "other" race. Where they get to be the norm.
And the goal of diversity, I think, is when no culture is treated as the "other." Where no culture is abnormal.
So like a bunch of other things, it's not hypocrisy that flies because it wasn't a white person that said it. The bigger context and American race relations is key.
