    As a child of immigrants, my folks always made sure we had poppies for Nov. 11 Remembrance Day. They fall off, so when crotchety old white men like #DonCherry only see #POC not wearing poppies & b*tch about it, it comes off like an bigoted attack on people who don't look like him or who he thinks are "Canadian".My family & I also #vote in every election, which is an act that actually honours service members & vets versus pinning some small plastic to your clothes.#rant

    Happy #lunarnewyear to all my fellow #AAPI members. May the #yearofthehorse be fortuitous & healthy for you & your families.I stumbled upon a clip of this from my friend's Instagram reel & watched the whole thing on YouTube right after. I didn't realize it was made in 2021, but the messages & discussions are still very relevant today.It's a roundtable of famous Asian-American actors, athletes, chefs, comedians & advocates sitting down to share a dinner & discuss their experiences as an #Asian in a safe space.I recommend watching it for the community & camaraderie (including the delicious food!) but also for the important promotion of #DiversityEquityInclusion in these times where #POC experiences & identity are being attacked by white nationalism.#RepresentationMatters #Jubilee #RecipeForChange #allyship #StopAsianHate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AX26NwtuXi8
