From ‘Black Asian, White Asian: Racial Histories and East Asian Choices in the White Settler State’ in Towards a Grammar of Race in Aotearoa New Zealand:

[U]ndoing white supremacy and colonialism …requires acknowledging East Asians’ colour-based privilege in white societies now, how our own pre- and post-colonial cultural history has generated racial thinking, and deeper analysis of how we do relate to whiteness in that racial hierarchy. Examining this doesn’t always land us in the morally comfortable space of “solidarity among colonised peoples”
