it’s Asian American and Pacific Islanders heritage month and that means reminding everyone that America stole Hawaii for sugar money, forced Japanese ppl in internment camps, exploited Chinese workers while also denying them entry and set south east asia for fuckery w their imperialism 🙂

filipinos were encouraged to fight for the US under the promise of pay and benefits (including citizenship!) which many (literally thousands) never received or have been denied because of bureaucratic red tape in determining service eligibility.
