A review by jiscoo
The Souls of Yellow Folk by Wesley Yang
0.0
demonstrative of a deeply malignant and frighteningly familiar strain of asian american masculinity. this is a book that I (as a korean american woman) would be terrified to see in the hands of the korean american men I know.
on a lighter (?) note, I would be willing to bet yang has never read a word of dubois.
edit: unsurprisingly, yang is a very vocal twitter transphobe. what hypocrisy, what ignorance, to write a collection of essays appealing for sympathy and acceptance of one's own social group and then ridiculing and dehumanizing another (comparatively far more marginalized) group's advocacy for basic rights and respect.
