Solidarity with you, beloved. As a fat Black woman*, dodging fetish has become habit. May it never bar you from the love you deserve.

It’s strange to see your racial background become a “type” which is more so fetishisation. It’s made me think about the ways interracial and cross cultural dating takes forms and the nuances of having to explain certain portions of the diasporic experience to others… but dating other Asians (esp those who are immigrants or second gen) makes things a little easier. Food for thought, though I hope the next people who date you see and love you as yourself and not a type.
