From the image people associate “asian” with.
but hand in hand with this stereotype is
a culture of ever-increasing stress, pressure, overwork,
and an intense fear of failure —
a culture people are failing to address.
but we aren’t represented in government.
but when you’re asian and applying for
colleges, jobs, positions,
you’re forced to find ways to “stand out”
and prove yourself to be different
from the stereotype, because apparently,
no one wants that.- Candace Chiang

stereotypically asian: A poem
In Denmark, Empathy Is Taught As A School Subject That Kids Must Learn From A Very Young Age
Want a Strong Kid? Encourage Play, Not Competition.
Treating trauma early to help children cope down the line
What if Being Good at Things Wasn't the Point of Doing Them?
