I’ve been getting quite a few emails lately (primarily from whites) about the seemingly apparent hypocrisy of having a site that promotes diversity and equality — and calling it “yellowworld.”

I got news for ya: yellowworld is for Asians.

My $1 response:

While diversity and equality are values we uphold, the site itself is devoted to creating a community committed to developing an Asian political and social consciousness. And while this isn’t mutually exclusive of diversity, nor does it exclude or discourage persons of other racial and ethnic backgrounds, it is a step towards a positive reclamation of ourselves, our culture, our history, and moving towards a perspective that removes whites from the periphery of our concsiousness, and compels us to define who we are, what we are, and what we want, damnit.
