THIS DOUBLE STANDARD
PLEASE
ASIANS ARE JUST AS GOOD
AT PLAYING SPORTS THAT
WHITES

THIS DOUBLE STANDARD
PLEASE
TELL ME HOW CAN YOU
TURN A BLIND EYE TO
THE WHITE'S MISTAKES
AND NITPICK THE
ASIAN'S ERROR
ARE WE NOT ALLOWED
TO MISTAKES? ARE WE
NOT ALLOWED TO
FAIL, LEARN, TRY AGAIN?

THE DOUBLE STANDARD
PLEASE
WHY CAN JIBES ABOUT ASIANS
SO ACCEPTED
BUT OTHER RACES ARE ALLOWED
TO BE OFFENDED
WHY MUST WE BE PASSIVE
AND HIDE BEHIND A STRAIGHT
FACE WHY SHOULD WE NOT
FEEL ATTACKED?

THE DOUBLE STANDARD
PLEASE
IT'S NOT JUST A JOKE
DON'T YOU DARE SAY IT'S A JOKE
IT IS NOT A JOKE IT IS BIGGER
THAN YOU ME AND WE
HAVE EMOTIONS. DON'T YOU DARE.
IF WE FEEL ATTACKED. WE FEEL
ATTACKED. AND IT IS NOT OKAY.

THE DOUBLE STANDARD
PLEASE
STOP THIS
LET ME FAIL
LET ME TRY
LET ME TRY AGAIN
LET ME ENJOY RIGHTS AS A HUMAN
LET ME LIVE LIFE
NOT BEING LAUGHED AT
AND TREATED AS THE JOKE
LET ME ENJOY
HAPPINESS: THE FUNDAMENTAL
RIGHT OF A HUMAN.
I SHOULD NEVER FEEL SO
POWERLESS SO FRUSTRATED
SO MISERABLE

I WILL NEVER BELIEVE
IN THE FAIR WORLD
EVER AGAIN.
