Ms. Que Banh<p>"Chinese and Indigenous communities have shared histories. We faced hardships together while mining for gold in the British Columbia gold rush and experiencing the rugged Canadian weather and terrain.</p><p>There are many graves on First Nations territories when Chinese people died from the flu and from the building of the railway, crushed by landslides, collapsing tunnels and premature blastings (Mittelstedt, 2014). The First Nations communities took in the Chinese railroad workers and care for their grave sites to this day (Mittelstedt, 2014). We enjoyed economic success and partnerships that were respectful and mutually beneficial (Ma, 2012). Chinese people leased lands (on First Nations) to farm and then hired Indigenous people to help farm the land (Mathur et al., 2011, p. 74). The Chinese built elaborate gold-mining operations among First Nations communities and perhaps most importantly our communities intermingled and there were many marriages between Chinese men and Indigenous women. In 1891, 98% of Chinese people in Canada lived in British Columbia (Barman, 2013, p. 1), which explains why there are such intimate ties between Chinese people and our First Nations communities in British Columbia. Unsurprisingly, one in six Chinese men created a family with a local Indigenous woman (Barman, 2013, p. 1)."</p><p><a href="https://fccrwc.com/chinese-and-indigenous-history-relationships-canada/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">fccrwc.com/chinese-and-indigen</span><span class="invisible">ous-history-relationships-canada/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/BCHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BCHistory</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/CanadianHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CanadianHistory</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ChineseCanadians" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChineseCanadians</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Intercultural" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Intercultural</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/POC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>POC</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Chinese" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Chinese</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Indigenous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Indigenous</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Coexistence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Coexistence</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/MutualSupport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MutualSupport</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/RaceRelations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RaceRelations</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/DecolonizationReading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DecolonizationReading</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Educational" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Educational</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/FirstNations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FirstNations</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ChineseCanadianHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChineseCanadianHistory</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/MixedMarriages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MixedMarriages</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/HistoryOfCanada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HistoryOfCanada</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/AntiRacismEducation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AntiRacismEducation</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/AsianMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AsianMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/LearnHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LearnHistory</span></a></p>

My answer?
Yes, yes they are.
The Credentialed Managerial Class, #white, aspirationally white #PoC, #Black and #indigenous are in an undeclared war against the working class poor they claim to serve!
They don't give a damn about those who can't pass their purity test for the neoliberal value proposition, and that includes the millions of European-Americans desperately clinging to the delusion of #whiteness.
A higher seat at the table, of an unjust system, is not progress, it is a bribe!

I am a #disabled #Asian #AnarchoSocialist & don't support any forms of colonial governments. I am huge on #decolonization & fighting for overdue #justice & #reparations & #equity for #POC communities.
I loathe #colonial #cops & their aligning #bigot governments - want to smash up all #ecocidal corporations & want a lot of #PublicServants aka #POLITICIANS in prison for their multiple #CrimesAgainstHumanity.

@blogdiva @RickiTarr After reading Kendi's _Stamped_ (which argues convincingly that racism & capitalism are conjoined twins)
I realized that #Fascism is what we're taught to call capitalism when it starts treating ytpipo like it's been treating #POC the entire f'ing time

Ford has filed a patent with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for a system that helps law enforcement identify speeders
there also has been instances like this https://www.pcmag.com/news/senators-car-companies-are-giving-location-data-to-police-without-a-warrant
as well as them giving info to insurance without permission with opt out instead of opt in
this info can be dangerous under trump and project 2025 and can be used to track minorities or opponents
The only thing I can say to my #POC family and friends is that WYPIPO vote, and you don't.
That's why things are the way they are.
