Though it probably did start out that way, it actually came from some basic bro on tiktok around a day and a half ago who claimed to invented a new sexual identity. It had/has around 3 million views before it got deleted or banned. The guy who made it looks like he has Stephen Crowder white boy energy.
The current media cycle is also doing this to be anti-Black. This has put lots of Asian and Black activists in an awkward position. Asian-American leftists feel a bit uneasy pulling Black Americans into an issue they deservedly need to have a say in, and Black activists want to give the spotlight to the Asian community despite how parts of the Asian-American community are not listening very carefully to how the Black community voices their Asian-American support. I then go on r/nba and I see dog whistles over Lebron James’ vaccination and China stances, and those reddit netizens are really hell bent on attacking Black people for what was said towards Jeremy Lin.
Note that this is not me erasing or speaking over the current issue, nor is it pulling another community into what should be a uniquely separate issue, this is just me being frank about how and why they are doing this.
Honestly not surprised at cultural anthropology having some chud professors. Some of them have white savior complexes because it originated as a white savior discipline.
edit: and tons of anthroplogists are complicit in destroying local ecosystems with their knowledge of benefits of plants for certain medicines, which in turn destroys indigenous communities.
Look up Henry Steel Olcott. He’s the western “rational buddhist” godfather, way before Sam Harris. A lot of it is basically puritanical western beliefs with buddhist clothes and without the Jesus. He probably brought some of that denial of self and life from his protestant upbringing, but I’m too uninformed to make further comments.
