(k)NO(w) MORE CHINESE!!!
Background for this comic:: I saw this photo/meme on SAT β¦couldnβt find it again so hereβs my interpretation from memory. With the addition of Panda and Hedgie. β£
β£
The original graffiti was clearly intended to threaten/hurt. The second βeditβ (by a AWESOME person sportinβ ηΊ’θ²η spray-paint can!), is just PERFECT. β£
β£
For meβ¦ β(K)NO(W) MORE CHINESEβ has two meanings. β£
β£
1οΈβ£ LEARN THE LANGUAGE/CULTURE! β£
Thereβs such a storied and vibrant history hereβ¦ just come in and take a peek!β£
β£
2οΈβ£ GET TO KNOW MORE (Chinese/Diaspora) FOLKS!β£
I mean. We can be pretty cool. And not awful. You not be awful to usβ¦weβre not awful to you. See how it werks? β£
β£
β¦and really, thatβs the thing isnβt it? Itβs hard to hate people up close. Letβs get to know people as people yes? (πΌ: *nods)β£

This entire year has been extremely discombobulating. Iβm so grateful that the community (YOU!!) around Panda is so supportive. Thereβve been the odd racist comments, but theyβre far and in between. β£Iβm grateful the community around me who seeks to know more, to understand more <3
