Bill Plympton the animator for this music video, is one of the most inspirational artist that attract the younger me into animation. Till this day, I still hold high respect for the man.

Overheard a conversation of an American family arrived in Schipol Airport, Netherlands.

Kid : “Dad look! They got Burger King here!”

Dad: “I don’t care about Burger King, I just want to find Chocomel!”

This is a map of Asia. North Americans, you may notice this map is not solely comprised of Japan, Korea, China and Thailand. People in the UK, you may notice India is not  a continent. That is, if those of you who generalize entire continents can even pinpoint India on a map. 

Indians are Asian, gasp! And not all brown skinned people are Indian, also, gasp! There are an alarming amount of people, of all ages, from all backgrounds, who seem to be unable to process this.

I’m ethnically Asian. Since Asia is an extremely large continent, I could be from any number of countries. I am neither from India, China, Korea, Japan or Pakistan, yet not so surprisingly, I am still Asian. 

Yes, there are commonalities across regions, through the conflation of cultures, colonialism, globalization, transnationalism and movement of diasporas. Sometimes these are all the same thing. Rickshaws, rice and curry can be found across the continent.

But let’s not overgeneralize. You can also find Buddhists, Catholics, Muslims and Hindus across Asia. Cantonese Speaking Chinese Muslims! English Speaking Indian Jews! 

No, we are not all the same. Orientalism? (Please look up Edward Said for basic concepts) No thank you. 

So let’s not use umbrella terms, regarding Asians as a monolith while simultaneously denying the regional identity of millions of people- and how about we also not engage in xenophobia? 

Are you someone that thinks this way? Shame on you! You should perhaps invest in buying a map, and take a look at what countries are you know, where. 

Geography, people. It’s important.

People always look up into the night sky and stand stricken in awe at all the beauty space contains. However, I don’t believe people understand exactly what they are looking at or exactly how far it is away. It’s very difficult to comprehend the physics behind the stars and the distances that separate us from them; it’s all so astronomical. That is the true value of an education, taking observable natural phenomenon and understanding the beauty that comprises it.
