Can I be real with u guys for a moment re: the Xiaohongshu/Rednote migration

Firstly let me say the good points. I love how bipoc users are educating the Chinese people about racial issues in America. I love how queer people are steadfast and so tough and strong in facing queerphobia. I love how Chinese people and American people are doing a culture exchange and understanding each other more. I got into a transmasc group chat and it has been so nice to chat with them.

HOWEVER it has been a generally frustrating experience for me on Xiaohongshu recently. I hate seeing the blatant ignorant display from Han Chinese about what people from minority ethnicities go through. I hate how they say "There is no skin color based discrimination in China" when I've seen videos of blasian kids talking about being bullied and I know what the Black diaspora in Guangzhou go through and I've seen the slurs and racism on bilibili (I'm Han Chinese so I can't really tell you the specifics, sorry). I hate seeing Chinese gold-star lesbians saying rednote is "The Most Queer Friendly App" while I (transgender) had to see their blatant transphobia before this. I hate how people say "There are no queer hate crimes" when there was literally a lesbian couple that was beaten to death in HongKong recently!!! I also know if you get read as male while being feminine you go through a lot of hardship in China, a trans woman literally wrote about her horrendous experiences in employment and there was another trans woman who had to literally sue her employers for firing her because she used the women's bathroom!!! The general culture on Xiaohongshu or Rednote was known for being elitist and classicist among Chinese people and being transphobic for queer Chinese people for a long time (before this)!!!

I by no means am against the new wave of American and global users, but just be mindful, okay? We all have our cultural baggage, and internet culture is a reflection and part of that!
