When will these racist, orientalist, colonialist mindsets stop in regular movies? Stuff like how a white woman went into MOROCCO, not Dubai, and turned out to be the white savoir simply because she went and yelled that she had sex to a bunch of brown men that probably didn’t know that they were being paid to make a point about how terrible they are? Condoms are found in Dubai everywhere!

I am sick and tired of fending questions about how Slumdog Millionaire shows my people. Not only am I Bangladeshi, white people have the gall to ask me why our people don’t take care of our children. White people have the gall to ask if India has a middle class or not. And if you’re not that type of white person, cool, here’s a cookie for being a decent fucking person! But if you derail this post about how I’m generalizing white people because they’re not all like that, I suggest you go write a sob story in your fucking diary because I am not here for that shit.

I am here because movies like The Dictator, Don’t Mess with the Zohan, Eat Pray Love, The Love Guru, The Help, any goddamn movie that shows a PoC is either a) helpless and needs assistance from white people; b) magical little elves that show white people how selfish their life is; c) exotic looking men and women there for a simple love interest between the primitive brown person vs the civilized white person; or d) MOTHERFUCKING TERRORISTS OR TAXI DRIVERS.

WE ARE CONSISTENTLY PUT INTO THESE BACKWARD SHITTY ASS ROLES THAT PUT US INTO STEREOTYPICAL TYPECAST CHARACTERS AND THEN TOLD THAT IT IS THAT WAY BECAUSE WE ARE LIKE THAT. Stereotypes come from truth? No, they come from the mass media spoonfeeding that propaganda into your open and willing mouth because PoC are not real people with real personalities, oh no, we’re just crazy ass motherfuckers that ruin your day with our ethnicities.

Fuck your white savior ass, and fuck going into our countries, filming the people, and shitting all over our culture. Yoga is not a fucking trend. Black women and men have done much more than crying during the Civil Rights Movement. And for crying out loud, Asian women are not your fetishes, and no, you do not have yellowfever, you’re just a creepy ass person who jacks off to creepy ass porn that show Asian women as all being the same.

Fuck you and fuck your ignorance. We are not here for your entertainment. The next time you laugh at a caricature of a sexist brown man in a thobe with bombs strapped around his waist, I suggest you figure your priorities out.

tl;dr, “fuck you, white people”
