"Japanese girl's Euro-Nepotism"
No, this is Eurocentrism, because she herself is non-"white".

Whiteness is truly a dangers disease, it weakens non-"whites" by
making them hate themselves and their racial origins, it also
makes them doubt themselves and not trust their instincts so
that it is easier for "whites" to exert control on them. It's
very important for non-"whites" to have respect for themselves
and their racial origins so that they can stand firm and with
pride when having to deal with the racist "white" gaze.
I'm grateful to 90rf and Zea_Mays for their websites, which have
opened my eyes to this danger.

I was ashamed of being Chinese. Learning about my ancestors'
first years in Canada changed that.
--- Quote ---
>
>
> For the first 37 years of my life, I'd lived confidently
believing that my family, like many Chinese Canadians, had begun
our lives in Canada as part of a wave of immigration from Hong
Kong and beyond during the 1970s. And then last year, in the
middle of the pandemic and amid a surge of anti-Asian sentiment,
I started to dig deeper into my family's past and discovered
that it wasn't our first time as settlers in Canada. Our story
began more than 100 years ago, in the era of the Chinese Head
Tax and The Chinese Exclusion Act, when the government was
determined to prevent people who looked like me from becoming
citizens of this country.
>
> As a young jook-sing — a Cantonese slang phrase for a
Western-born and/or raised Chinese person who identifies more
with Western than Chinese culture — in north Scarborough, I was
more concerned about erasing all traces of my Chinese identity
than learning about where my family came from. And you can
imagine why. You see, I never saw myself in North American
media, TV or film. There were never any stories that were by and
about people like me. The only portrayals of Asians at the time
were pumped full of stereotypical tropes: yellow-facing in shows
such as Kung Fu starring David Carradine, we were background
extras that were weak and sex-less, and/or we were the evil,
conniving "Fu Manchu" character. I became so ashamed of being
Chinese that it was easier for me to come to terms with my queer
identity at 13 years old than my ethnic background.
>
> Back in school, little was taught about Chinese Canadians (let
alone stories from Indigenous peoples and other non-European
communities) in history class. If we were mentioned, it was one
tiny, you-had-to-find-it-using-a-magnifying-glass, paragraph
about the Chinese Head Tax or Chinese working on the railway.
From the education system to pop culture, zero value was placed
on the stories of Chinese Canadians; it's no wonder my
impressionable young mind thought this meant that my family and
I didn't matter, and didn't belong here.
>
> But my world changed last year: I became a born-again Asian.
Like so many of my fellow Asian Canadians, I was grappling with
the anti-Asian racism that reared its ugly head during the
pandemic. In doing so, I began to reclaim the Chinese heritage
that I had shunned my whole life.
>
> On arrival, he was forced to pay the $500 Chinese Head Tax to
enter the country.
>
> He was eager to bring his family to this land and begin a life
together, but those dreams were stolen from him in 1923 with the
introduction of The Chinese Immigration Act (commonly called the
Chinese Exclusion Act), which banned the entry of virtually all
Chinese immigrants. It was the first and only immigration law
that banned entry by race, and it would keep people like my
great-grandfather, other naturalized Chinese immigrants and
born-and-raised-in-Canada Chinese from bringing over their
families until the law was repealed in 1947.
>
> During this time, white people, specifically from Commonwealth
nations, were given huge financial incentives to become settlers
in Canada. With The Empire Settlement Act of 1922, the Canadian
government entered into an agreement with the British government
to subsidize their citizens to work in Canada and to ensure
"British values" dominated. These British immigrants were even
encouraged to bring over friends and acquaintances, while people
like my great-grandfather, who had paid dearly to enter Canada,
were forced to become "married bachelors," unable to bring over
even their most immediate family members.
>
>
> For many Asian Canadians, the pandemic forced us to confront
some uncomfortable truths. From being blamed for giving the
world "Kung flu", asked, "Where are you from? No, where are you
really from?" our entire lives, to seeing our elders violently
attacked and others killed, it's become clear that no matter how
integrated we are in Canadian society, we are first viewed as
Asian — foreign, never quite fully belonging or loyal to this
country. I've had to acknowledge this othering and finally start
to unpack the racism I'd internalized since childhood.
>
> With this year marking 100 years since the Chinese Immigration
Act was passed, I have begun to take pride in my background.
Having pieced together my own family's journey to Canada, I am
able to paint a better picture of where I descended from so I
can honour my ancestors and their sacrifices.
>
> My ancestors — like my great-grandfather Lee Chuen Oy — were
brave and strong. They faced an unwelcoming environment and they
persevered. They were resilient in the face of adversity, never
once complaining about the racist society and government[they
should have complained] that stole their dreams when they were
trying to build lives, businesses and families.
>
> It took me 37 years but I can now finally say that I have
never been more proud to be Chinese Canadian

Racist apartheid colonials are definitely experts at making
non-"whites" not feel part of the country in which they were
born in. I understand the deep pain that comes with feeling like
an outsider in ones own country, a pain which i don't think I'll
ever be able to forgive those who have made me endure this, fuck
the commonwealth.

I've noticed this as well. I've always prided myself in simply
getting out of other people's way as much as possible, whether
walking, or driving. It seems most people do not share this
attitude. I was beginning to think it's just a U.S. attitude
myself. The amount of bad behavior I see from the general public
around me on a daily basis is astounding and has certainly
gotten worse since 9/11 I think? It feels like most people pay
very little attention to what's actually going on around them
here, especially how their behavior impacts others.
"Pay attention to detail" was drilled into us in the U.S.
military. The general public doesn't seem to be very good at
this at all. Many U.S. citizens appear to go through life in a
mode of complete tunnel vision...
