>Rowan Hisayo Buchanan is a Japanese-British-Chinese-American writer. Her first novel, Harmless Like You, won the Author’s Club First Novel Award, a Betty Trask award and was shortlisted for the Desmond Elliot Prize. In the USA it was a New York Times Editors’ Choice and an NPR 2017 Great Read. Her second novel, Starling Days, was shortlisted for the 2019 Costa Novel Award.
>Buchanan was born to a half-Chinese, half-Japanese American mother and a British father, and grew up between London and New York. She earned her B.A. from Columbia University, where she was a Core Scholar. She lived in Tokyo while working as an intern for a management consulting firm, then earned her M.F.A. from the University of Wisconsin–Madison.

Americans preaching about race is ro distract people from developing a class consciousness. Jamal from da hood and Cleetus from rural Alabama have more in common with each other than the girl in the article, or any other upper-middle class American for that matter, but by trying to focus on race rather than class the American society has managed to bit the lower classes against each other. Compare to Europe where class comes up more often than race and racism is usually seen from the lense of ethnic conflict rather than "black, Asian, white" etc.

All minority groups tend toward the status quo even if they produce individually smart/decent people for the simple reason that being a minority group in another country is a fundamentally evil act, and anyone decent trying to come to terms with this when it has already been decided for them by birth is going to be compelled by constant pressure to develop some kind of doublethink, so that they don't hate themselves. That's why they make such good supporters of the status quo, because they have already ritually debased themselves by ignoring and suppressing their own instincts, which (correctly) tell them that being in someone else's country and competing with them for jobs and success is evil

Imagine being born as one of a 10% white minority in Japan, and your minority is moderately more successful than the local Japanese on average, who are having a severe problem with the collapse of their middle class and drug escapism in rural areas and so forth. Imagine every time you succeed, you know on some level you are doing so at the expense of the actual Japanese, on their own land. Imagine being told every day by transparently evil, slimy, slippery, ugly institutions like the state, education institutions, and corporations that you should not feel bad about this but should go over and spit on the Japanese while they're down too, tell them how you're more of a Jap than they are, that you belong there, that if they don't like it they should try harder to succeed, etc. Any person with a normal consciousness and soul knows this is reprehensibly evil. But average joes are obviously going to break under the strain of this cognitive dissonance and develop doublethink so they can live without hating themselves.

Any "model minority" immigrant you see is someone who was 1984'ed into being okay with being the house nigger caste in a country they will never feel at home in, long ago, and frantically drowning out whatever pain and self-loathing still bubbles to the surface occasionally by throwing themselves into doublethink even harder, for example by trying even harder to emulate Jews and other model minorities who are more proficient at despising the white middle class people they parasitically live off of and colonially displaced, by watching more CNN, by being even louder about WEAR A FUCKING MASK!!!!, because when you're shouting, you can't hear the voices inside you saying this is wrong.

Don't Weininger yourself. The authentic release is just fixing the world and setting things right. The elites threw us all into each other's countries like this and made us fuck each other over to make it so we lose even our solidarity with one another and ability to admire one another. I don't hate Indians because there are sixty million Indians in my home county, I see the ones in my home county as victims of indoctrination, and like any other group, mostly decent people who would make good choices if they weren't being actively bombarded by ideology and put in no-win situations that force them to make ugly decisions every day. Same with Arabs in Paris or Asians in Canada.

I'm sure Mexifags on 4chan have to deal every day with cognitive dissonance over which "side" to identify with: retarded globohomo? obviously not an option. AIAIAIAIAIAI LA RAZA YO ONIONS CHICANA ESSE? embarrassing. Internet white nationalism that wants to gas you? not an option either.

The trick is just to think right past and through all the rigged parameters the elites have set up so you think you're in an unwinnable situation, think at the level of resetting the whole game board, not just playing the rigged no-win game in which you are always already in checkmate that the elites have established. You have just as much a right to upset the board as they do. It might take a generation or three but that's just how history works. Populations flow and relocate, new modi vivendi are negotiated, etc. If the elites can use mass immigration to destroy countries in under 20 years why shouldn't it be possible to use controlled emigration to find peaceful solutions? For most of history it was relatively normal for whole cities or regions to spring up or be occupied or reoccupied. Who even wants to say in the mega-slums we all live in today thanks to globohomo policies? They're all going to need redesigning and redrawing no matter what, along with various maps. The world is more flexible than we all think.

The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles. This is a truth that has been obscured and distorted by the dominant ideology of capitalism, which seeks to divide the working class along lines of race, gender, sexuality, religion, and other identities, while promoting an artificially constructed culture of consumerism that creates a sense of individualism, alienation, and false needs that can only be satisified through purchasing capitalist produced products.

Identity politics is in essence a form of false consciousness that prevents the working class from recognizing its common interests and its potential power as a revolutionary force. There is a reason why it is promoted by the liberal establishment so fervently. By focusing on the differences and grievances of various groups within the oppressed class, identity politics creates a fragmented and antagonistic population that is easily co-opted and manipulated by the ruling class.

Consumerism is another form of false consciousness that distracts the working class from its exploitation and misery by offering them a plethora of products and services that promise to satisfy their desires and enhance their status. Consumerism creates an artificial sense of abundance and freedom, while in reality it generates waste, pollution, inequality, and debt. Consumerism also erodes the social bonds and collective values that are essential for a genuine democracy and a humane society. Consumerism ties into identity politics by turning identities themselves into consumer products, essentially signals and fashion accessories. Any authenticity attached to these identities has been sanitized and diluted in order to turn it into something malleable for the ends of the system.

The phrase "small, female oblong" is objectively nonsensical and while russet and cardinal are colors, it is extremely pretentious and borderline offensive to use them in the first paragraph of the fucking book.
The whole page reads like a word salad. The Emperor is not wearing any clothes.

"Small female oblong" is weird, yes, and does an excellent job communicating the bewilderment and alienation the narrator experiences upon seeing his mother, a person he doesn't recognize (and perhaps has never seen/met before).
>it is extremely pretentious and borderline offensive to use them in the first paragraph of the fucking book.
Nitpicking. Why are you even here if simple words hurt your pretty little head?
>The whole page reads like a word salad.
The page reads just fine. You're overreacting.

Retarded and oversimplifying post. Reads like it's from a 20 year old with no life experience.
Only thing it does right is indicate the existence of a serious problem. However, everything else was shit and tranny level: self-victimizing like a Jew, scapegoating like the Talmud, ignoring other interrelated factors, and generally sounding like a glowie with overly reductionist method.
Highly recommend reflecting on the full complexity of this shitstorm more or genuinely killing yourself.

This is genuinely awful. Reminds me of my highschool writing. Affected purple prose ambitions undercut by a missing genuine understanding of the language being used.

Can you explain what's wrong with it specifically? What signifies "missing genuine understanding of the language being used"? I genuinely want to know.

To add: "small, female oblong" is clearly ridiculous, and "history-scrambled" is pretty dilettantish, but to my eye, there's nothing fundamentally wrong with the rest of it, despite the idiosyncratic, and possibly irritating, pacing.

Savitri Devi literally married an Indian man... Pic-related.
And *what* destroyed the racially separated harmony? Industrialization.
I also find the deforestation and loss of biodiversity in places like Costa Rica and more a bigger concern than human drama over miscegenation. The very nature of market economy on a global scale, propped by an industrial system, is destructive.
Humanity as a whole has always been trash excluding exceptions like the Buddhists. The best people at this point choose not to have kids.

At minimum half the population if not more.

This vain and narcissistic mentality is highly specific to a certain well-heeled and educated class segment that is heavily investigated in displaying their grasp of a set of status-signaling liberal shibboleths. These verities include denigrating white men, obsessing over gender and race in general, and essentially pushing this sort of inverted racism and sexism where the entire universe orbits these things and there are no individuals but them. Everyone else is a mere extension of some homogenous race or gender group, with white men being essentially an inhuman stereotyped mass.

These literary elites are almost always upper middle class or worse, and acutely detached from the struggles and concerns of most people.

They maintain their status by regulating the linguistic cadences of their academic and cultural circles-- to play you have to speak their language and parrot their platitudes, but in doing so, you surrender to their power since that language game is a contrivance designed to hold them up on a pedestal for being the politically correct gender or race.

Such types are eminently expendable but more than being human ballast, they produce very little of any artistic or literary quality because of their postured political commitments and exceeding levels of comfort dissuade them from doing anything challenging .

More importantly they just don't have anything interesting to say. All this constant babble about race and gender and white men is jus so, so trite and vacuous. It misses the whole point of literature which is to explore what distinguishes human beings and their relationship to the world and each other in all its complexity and nuance. I'm sure they think they are doing that by harping on about their special snowflake identities but since they all do it, and do it in the same, cliched and rehearsed ways, all they come up with is hackneyed self-indulgent trash. I would describe these writers as transient. They're ephemeral nothings.

Schizophrenia the post.
>white middle class people they parasitically live off of and colonially displaced
You just talked about how the minorities are taking jobs and working now you’re saying it’s parasitical? In the example you written out the whites weren’t given jobs for no reason so are you just mad there’s minorities succeeding? I don’t understand. Also America isn’t a white state and has no culture who are you taking away from other than people your better then? Also this post really does show you haven’t talked to anyone in your life if you really think people feel bad for living and getting jobs and surviving. Retarded internet brained post
