With the State Board of Education updating the history curriculum, we have an opportunity now to highlight Asian American narratives for future generations of Texas students.
The horrific Atlanta spa shootings on March 16, 2021, showed that Asian American women face a particularly terrifying threat of violence because of how Asian hate intersects with misogyny. Growing up as an Asian girl in Austin, I have been fetishized, exotified, objectified, and sexually assaulted ... and then often told it's a compliment.
1995: A Chinese American girl is chased at an Austin public school playground by two boys pressing their eyes into mock slants and chanting,"CHING! CHONG! CHAAAANG!" Upon reporting the incident to her kindergarten teacher, she is told:"Just don't play with those boys anymore."2003: The Chinese American woman is raped in a college dorm. She declines to report it. She tells herself she shouldn't have been playing with that boy.
1875: Chinese women are the first to be excluded by law from entering the U.S. after the Page Act. They were stereotyped as sex workers who carried the threat of germs and sexually transmitted diseases. In the context of rising anti-Asian hate at the time, the legislation was an attempt to eliminate this foreign temptation. Maybe the legislators were just having a bad day.
1964: Patsy Mink, a third-generation Japanese American, is the first woman of color elected to Congress. What if I had learned these stories as a child? Would I have found my voice and spoken out for myself more? Would I have questioned the stereotypes of the model minority, the dragon lady, the lotus flower, or the china doll?
