With my project I seek to highlight primary sources that display racist and hateful thoughts, specifically towards the Asian population. I will be taking an archival approach, and my ”thing” will consist of a gallery of screenshots of tweets, articles, and other alternate forms of media that are demonstrating these hateful thoughts. I felt the need to choose this subject for my project because I myself don‘t experience or observe many racist people or acts in my life. By looking at just how evil people can be, I hope to gain a good insight into something people go through that I don’t.
Overall, this seems like a good project. If you know nothing about (Insert topic here), is there a more admirable choice than choosing to research it, to try to understand, and to try to KNOW it, for lack of a better word. Also, choosing to immerse (for lack of better words) yourself in that hate and choosing to take it in and gain an understanding of it is very admirable in my opinion, and something I could never do.
Personally, this seems like a brave and admirable project, so go ahead with it and see what happens!
This is an eminently admirable project, Crater. You are really taking to heart all that I said in my long, emotional lecture about bearing witness. This is important work you are doing.
