#VeryAsian New Years
Daaayyyuummm, just learned about the #VeryAsian thing.
Anyway! Here’s what Japanese folks have for a #VeryAsian New Years breakfast. 😏
(Disclaimer: I only know this from what we have on New Years ourselves as a 3rd-4th generation family. Had to go to Wikipedia for some info, so it might not reflect 100% what they actually have overseas.)
Ozoni, featuring (can vary from region to region in Japan, according to Wikipedia) mochi, spinach, daikon, nori, and would usually have a couple of slices of fish (if non-vegan/vegetarian). Usually, my relatives have it with fish stock but in my case, made from kombu (edible kelp—cuz vegan).
The newest American Girl of the modern line is also #VeryAsian! (Also it’s about time! The last time we got an Asian American Girl, she was just a Best Friend character, which is basically like a sidekick. 😬)

“What’s spreading faster than coronavirus in the US? Racist assaults and ignorant attacks against Asians”
ZOMG I reported some dude on Nextdoor a while ago who made inflammatory remarks towards China, Chinese people and anything that comes out of China. 😩 All because the virus originated from China.
Folks, we dealt with this after the WTC attack on Sept. 11, 2001 when Middle Easterners were all thought to be terrorists just because SOME people did something bad and they happened to look like these people. And waaaay back when Pearl Harbor was attacked during WWII when Japanese Americans were interned. We don’t need to do this again. Please.
Sometimes the most devastating hits are financial. At many Chinese restaurants, income has been decimated.

I saw the live-action Ghost in the Shell movie today
I think I might be one of 20 or so Asians outside of Japan who is ok with the Major’s casting. (Then again, I also never saw the anime or read the manga, so not sure if my opinion would change.)
[EDIT] I was reading comments on this on Kotaku (sorry, I don’t remember the actual article). People were saying things like, well you probably should be Japanese American for your opinion to count. But I am Japanese American (4th generation). 🤔 I guess my opinion still doesn’t count.
