Daily Reminder That If You Are Not Asian, Calling Kim Dokja A “r*t” Is Racist

Daily reminder that if you are not Asian, calling Kim Dokja a “r*t” is racist

Referring to Asian people as “r*ts” stems from racist propaganda that was used to spread the idea that Asian immigrants are “disease carriers”. This is incredibly harmful for the community, especially during this time

There are plenty of other nicknames you can give him provided by the creators and characters themselves, that aren’t racially charged. Use those. But stop calling him this

It’s exhausting going through this fandom’s tags, actually liking a lot of the art and fics, and then stumbling onto this label my relatives have been referred to all their lives. Stop it

And if you stumble onto this post realizing you’ve referred to Asian characters as such? Just edit your posts! Or delete them and repost them without the slur. And it wouldn’t hurt to make a post stating how it was mistake and you encourage your followers to reblog the new edited post. No one is going to think less of you if you just share that you didn’t know this but realize it’s harmful. If anything it means you are taking responsibility maturely
