For #AsianHeritageMonth, we are celebrating #HeritageMinutes that highlight Asian Canadians. Today's is on the Vancouver Asahi, a successful baseball team that disbanded when its members were among the 22,000 Japanese Canadians interned by the government. https://youtu.be/wBv-MYAf9P0?si=gUNSyHncJPTj7brK
@CFL@sportsbots.xyz What an important and impactful episode. Thank you, Royce and Katie, for sharing your stories, and for being such tremendous role models for young Canadian athletes who are reaching for their goals. #AsianHeritageMonth
So yeah. A colloquial word for “kid” in the far, far East of Asia, ultimately has its origins from India.

Work reminds me it’s #AsianHeritageMonth again, so here’s a related nugget:
In Japanese, sometimes you call kids “gaki” (not exactly polite but not really considered a bad word). If you’ve watched anime or Japanese television shows, you’ve probably heard it.
Where does it come from? Most people probably don’t know.

May is #AsianHeritageMonth and it’s a great opportunity to recognize the many contributions of the diverse Asian community in Ontario and Canada.
Asians have faced multiple hardships in Canadian history from the racist policies turning away the Komagata Maru, Japanese internment camps or the Chinese Head Tax & Exclusion Act to the rise of Anti-Asian racism during SARS and COVID.
Let’s celebrate our heritage and honour the countless sacrifices of those who came before us.
祝大家亞太裔加拿大人傳統月快樂!
May is #AsianHeritageMonth
just a reminder to all the folks putting content out for Asian Heritage Month, without acknowledging the ongoing genocide being committed against Asian's.
#Palestine is in Asia. #Syria is in Asia. #Lebanon is in Asia.
If you are not talking about the genocide(s), please don't waste your time and ours, showing us your fake celebration of Asian Heritage.
If you care about our heritage, fight to keep it & us alive.
Weirdly enough, I actually agree that there should be a white history month. Amber Ruffin brings it into perspective here...

#AsianCanadian #workers have played an integral role in shaping #Canadian #labour history. But members of #AsianCommunities still face acts of #racism & #discrimination today. Committed individuals, organizations & coalitions continue to fight for the #rights of #Asian workers – including #MigrantWorkers many of whom are Asian – here in #Canada
If you know a Korean, ask them about their “Korean age” and be amazed. Turns out this “non-international age” was sort of a thing throughout East Asia.
For Asian Heritage Month my family hosted one of the movie nights. Even though we are very far away from Kelowna, we still like to participate. We hosted via Zoom and watch the below film again, talking about our family trip to the internment camp at New Denver. (best dad ever amirite?)
