Alright, so I donāt usually involve myself in discourse, but this one made me want to say something. Iād appreciate if this gets reblogged.
The word rat is not a racial slur towards Asians. Please stop telling people it is, especially if youāre not Asian yourself.
As an Asian myself, Iām telling you it is not an actual thing, and Iāve asked my Asian friends and my own parents, all of varying nationalities within Asia, and more specifically, East Asia, the area said to contain the people who should be offended by this word. None of us have ever seen it as a racial slur. If someone calls me a rat, I will assume Iāve just been called it because Iām seen as a sly, scheming bastard or something of the like, not that Iāve been called it because Iām Asian.
I have seen the historical arguments for this, the propaganda, all that. I showed that to my friends, my parents. It makes no difference to us. Rat was a general insult used towards a lot of groups back then, not just Asians, and itās not a thing we Asians register as being offensive slur-wise. Itās just generally not a fun thing to call a person if youāre purposely being mean. Nothing to do with race, so donāt make it out to be, because it isnāt.
For more about the history, please refer to this very well-worded post that I strongly recommend you reading, exploring where White Knighting topics, blowing them out of proportion and lack of consideration for the actual groups in mind is causing problems, and the screenshot below, taken from this reddit post, which also sums it up quite nicely.
So thereās that. And there are those who might go, āBut youāre normalising casual racism! :(ā, and I really donāt know what to tell you, buddy. You canāt tell us what we should be offended by, because youāre not us. And vice versa.
Basically, please remember that the whole way that something even becomes considered a slur is if the group actually feels offended by the term in the first place.
The group. Not just one or two people, or someone who isnāt from the group but feels some sort of Entitled Righteousness about trying to āstand upā for the group. The group.
If the group doesnāt find it offensive, then please stop saying it is and saying we are offended by it! By doing this, youāre just talking over Asiansā voices, putting words in our mouths, and shutting us up just like whoever started this did! ;-;
Please stop spreading misinformation. Weāre fine. So if you see someone call a character a rat, donāt mind it in the slightest. Thank you so much.
My other inspirations for wording this post:

Please do boost this. Yāall can add on, but please donāt clown! I reserve the right to block if I feel youāre messing around and looking for a fight. Also fellow Asians who have never heard of this mess, feel free to express confusion in the replies. I felt the same way.
And to my friend on Discord who brought this to my attention, this isnāt to you, I promise. I donāt hate you. Youāre okay. This is just to the people who told you the wrong things, and the people who need to hear it. You probably just believed it when you heard it and were passing on the message, and I appreciate that you were trying to be respectful to Asians, but I just wanted to address this and clear it up.
Thank you again šā¤ļø
As Iām sure most of yāall have heard, there was a huge explosion in Beirut today. The cause is suspected to be over 2,700 tons of Ammonium Nitrate. For reference, the Oklahoma City bombers used 2 tons and destroyed a building and damaged 100+ others.
