about

this song is here to celebrate queer joy, friendship, and QTPOC solidarity, this song was mostly inspired by frustration...by you— and by you, i mean white men who feel the need to say that asian people and their cultures are “beautiful” and “exotic”, who exploit white supremacy dynamics in other countries with no self-awareness...the audacity!

this song is a direct response to a cringey song called something along the lines of “beautiful asian girl” that you wrote- i didn’t start it man! you did! :)

to quote Rina Sawayama’s iconic song, “STFU!”.
