Thank you for speaking about your experience, Amanda. It’s been so heartbreaking to watch the news and to hear how you’ve been treated throughout the pandemic and for your entire life. I feel like so many Canadians ignore our issues with racism and pretend we’re an idyllic multicultural society with no xenophobia or discrimination, which is just so far from the truth. I am horrified by the hatred being put on display by so many ignorant people but sadly I am not surprised. I hope the stationery community can come together and support Asian creators, businesses, and art forms. This video was so informative and beautifully done and I so appreciate the emotional labour you put into creating it 🖤

I’m a second generation Chinese-Dutch girl, and I used to think it’s normal, the jokes insulting China and my culture, looking at me weird when I go to the Asian supermarket near my school, the questions I get asked when people meet me. You really opened my eyes, making me realise that’s not what people are supposed to go to, so thank you for doing this Edit: I remembered something I wanted to say. I’m in the middle of choosing my future career path, and when I told the teacher I wanted to study science, and work in the medical world, he asked if that’s what I wanted, or what my parents wanted. It just seemed as a legitimate question, but asking my friends I found out it was only asked to me, my Asians friends that didn’t choose science didn’t get asked that question, and other people didn’t either. It was a question that wasn’t that bad at first, but later I realise it came from stereotypes about Asian parents. Yeah. That’s what I wanted to say I think

I'm a teen of color and when I imagrated to Canada I felt so so left out... I was bullied too. I got racist comments often saying "go back to your country" or "you aren't us!" These comments made me feel like I wanted to be white instead. Eventually I became friends with people of color and they told me that they felt the same sometimes. I've now started getting more connected to my culture instead and I fight back when I get racist comments. Ty so much for this video Amanda and addressing this problem I salute you!!🙂

I”m Japanese American and live in Hawai’i, so I didn’t face the same animosity that you have, at least not until I went to law school on the mainland. Pointing out how much the planner/stationary community owes to Asian culture was excellent. I hope you get to study Chinese and visit China. It’’s an amazing experience. And I hope you go with your parents and grandparents.

I’m white, but many of my friends in high school were Asian because my town has a pretty high Asian population. Much of those friends and their families immigrated from China. It was really interesting to see the diversity among this group in of itself. There was a lot of variation in their fluency in English (since they were from China, their first language is Chinese) and how they interacted with American culture. But it was also sad to see that the ones who were less fluent in English were less connected with other students or couldn’t get into the higher classes (like honors or AP) because they can’t keep up with the language, even if they’re smart enough to do the class. One kid in one of my classes would have a digital translator for when we took tests so he could actually take the test (which obviously meant he took longer). Then there’s the name thing- taking up European names to fit in with the culture. Sometimes, it is a practical issue, like it being difficult to pronounce in some languages. Like one of my friends’ names was really hard to pronounce, no matter how much I tried, so I used her English name even when I used the Chinese names of my other friends (which she was very sweet about- I felt really bad about it). But that’s not the case most of the time- it’s just not wanting to use ethnic names. Most of my friends’ names were really easy to pronounce, but they weren’t European so it didn’t come naturally to people here in America. People don’t like things that are different, so they try to avoid it. None of us are exempt, myself included, but we should all make the effort to embrace the different in our lives :) Thank you for the beautiful discussion Amanda!

People are attacking all Asians but especially our elders, which brings our community a lot of pain seeing that respecting elders are a big part of our culture. I love how you included Canada statistics, obviously since your Canadian, but also since many people assume that Canada doesn’t have racism.

I don't know enough about Canada but I do know that many Chinese ( correct me if I'm wrong) buy apartments and homes in Canada. The homes sit and there are very few places to rent therefore the cost of rent sky rockets. It's not those Chinese families faults they wanted a home in Toronto ( correct me if I wrong) .? Its the Canadian Government that allows rent to be exorbitant. Maybe those of Asian decent are getting the brunt and anger of what the Canadian Government is doing or NOT doing.

The part that you said you didn’t show your face at first really made me sad. As an Iranian I really felt everything you said. My profession is art and the fact that western don’t count on Asian arts really sucks. I mean there are lots of countries with amazing art and art history such as Iran, India, China, Japan and more, and if you look at books about art history there’s just few pages about us. It’s only because they define art, and that definition is west art history. Anyway so glad you talked about this. You are really inspiring. Keep going. ✨

I am a 15 year old Japanese and everyone in my family and relatives is Japanese born in Japan. From October 2016 to June 2020, I have lived in the United States (I live in Japan now). I was very fortunate to be able to attend race-wise diverse schools throughout the four years, and I was proud of my race and nationality until I realized that I was /only/ proud of the fact that I am Japanese and that I am bilingual. I am still figuring out what I can be proud of about myself and I do have a vague idea now, but at that time, it was crashing my mental health. It was like if I was anything else than Japanese, I wouldn’t be unique enough. Luckily, I was never faced with discrimination and actually had the best four years in my life, but I’d like to say thank you for voicing that Asians aren’t “one.” Even if we are all Asian, we are different and unique individuals.

This video reminded me that my experiences with racism are valid and showed me I'm not alone ♥️

Thank you Amanda for speaking up for the Asian community! I too am disappointed in the lack of engagement from people in the stationary community, almost everyone who talks about hate against Asians are, well, Asians.. And your personal story really resonates with me as well, I'm a Korean that can't speak Korean. Love this theme, it's a beautiful tribute!!

I hope those videos got more views because they are up since earlier times. I love your videos, and seeing the person behind, you. It must have been a hard step, and it is great you did it. The more steps like this from more people, the more multifacial world of support we all are creating, the less space for racism there will be. I want that so much!

Wow Amanda, thanks for doing this for the Asian community. I appreciate that you’re using your platform to spread awareness and bring light to the many misconceptions and hardships that Asians face. I can tell that you did a ton of research. You brought forth many relevant topics that a lot Asian people are too scared to talk about. Your words are truly genuine, and it shows that you deeply care about this topic. Thanks for taking the time make this video and sharing it with followers. I have no doubt that it will help to not only inform them, but also inspire them to become a better version of themselves.

Wow. Amanda, this video spoke to me. My mother was born in Korea but was married to a white American man. Growing up I never saw myself as asian. Not until someone pointed it out. And I so desperately wanted to be accepted by others that if they made jokes I would just laugh with them. But looking back it’s just so sad to even think about. The only connection I have with my culture is through cooking, and unfortunately I can’t speak Korean. So everything you’ve just said I have felt at some point in my life. I really thought I was the only one who has dealt with identity crisis until recently and although it’s so sad, I almost feel at ease because I’m not alone like I once thought I was. And you know, people have always told me that I’m beautiful but it makes you wonder if it’s because I’m unique. Does that make sense? Just because I’m Asian in a white mans world makes me attractive.

I'm so glad you decided to speak about this, and thank you for sharing your experience. The hatred, discrimination, and violence the Asian community has faced not just today but throughout history breaks my heart, and I'll be the first one to admit that I didn't know how bad it was and still is. This horrible act of violence and hatred in Atlanta has driven me to do research, understand the history, and see how I can improve in supporting the Asian community. So once again, thank you for sharing your experience and being so open about the struggles you've faced. You were the first stationery/art creator whose content I really fell in love with, and I always look forward to your videos. Sending you love from Denmark ❤️

Why can’t everyone appreciate the diverse cultures and traditions of the world for being fascinating and beautiful? There are imperfect people in every culture and in every time. People can be cruel and selfish and mean in any culture. But there can also be good and kind and beautiful human beings in any culture. Can’t we embrace who we are, flaws and all, and embrace others with their imperfections but also with their beauty. I personally am from a pretty sheltered small town, so I don’t see other cultures very often, but when I do, I find them beautiful and fascinating and love learning about their personal stories and hearing some of their languages. I think you’re beautiful, Amanda, inside and out. ❤️

It's a tough world and I've been very privileged as I've never received any kind of racist hate, but I've always been very aware that it exists. People can be so mean and hateful, we need to bring anyone's attention to this problem by correcting "jokes" or comments! Very important! This video was incredible, Amanda.

Also as an Asian person, anti-Asian hate has actually been going on during the BLM movement but the news had no idea about innocent people being beaten up because they were Asian. Now it's actually a problem being issued, I just really hope the next generation doesn't have to suffer from this!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this post! Everything you talked about had very strong connections to my own experiences and feelings of being a half-Korean female. It wasn't until my mom passed away 4 years ago did I begin to really embrace the beautiful Korean side of myself and all of the culture and extended family that I did not fully appreciate. It is so painful to realize that racism's push for assimilation can cause a human being to once upon a time want to completely erase a part of herself. I am 47 and much wiser and wish I could go back and hold my younger self and give her the strength to see the truths. Now I know it has all given me a unique perspective and wisdom that I can use to better educate my students and others about racism.

I really appreciate your honest reflection, as well as the fact that you are using your voice to educate and support groups experiencing racism. Personal experiences are exactly that, personal, and no one can assume they understand how others feel - this is so important that we hear it from you. Thank you! BTW, your journal pages are always inspiring, plus you tell us how these setups come to pass (I love the paper cranes spread and its origin story, for example)! You also make it more approachable to try some of your pages ourselves, and I love them all!

Never be embarrassed of who you are or where you come from... It's not your background or your ethnicity that defines you. It's your thinking, your talent and your hard work... That is what smart people see on you. Not the colour of your skin... Miserable people will always find something to complain, criticise or even hate others... Good Lord these people hate themselves, how can they love others? You should be proud of your chinese background and you should learn more about Chinese culture in the future. It will definitely help your inner self, your personality and your work. I am Greek but I have always been fascinated by other cultures. Take care and keep posting those amazing videos! By the way I have only discovered your channel 2 days ago and I have spend all my weekend watching your videos on how to plan my journal...
