I'm Chinese and if Olandria and Chelley really takes a real stand against racism, they would also unfollow Cierra. I don't want to hear they were close friends in the villa, being close friends doesn't excuse that, Cierra's own friends outside of villa dropped her. Cierra's apology to me was not enough and if you're not Chinese or at the minimum East Asian, you should not be accepting her apology on behalf of us.
I'm gonna need you to send me their tiktok username or instagram usernames so I can see what they posted and why they are accepting their apology. To me, Cierra knew that the word referred to "Asian" and it's about asian features, but she said that she didn't know the word was a racial slur. Otherwise, there was no reason that she would have used this word at all. It is really offensive to me that she needed to get botox to get rid of her look, which she is basically saying she looks asian.
I completely agree with you what cierra did was wrong and she should not have a career, where I’m confused is why are other people on the show not allowed to remain her friend and follow her after she apologized? Do we want her to be isolated from everyone, including her own friends like the original comment or implied?
I'm also gonna say that the threats that she has received is also unnecessarily and really harmful and that's not what we stand for, we don't send death threats or call ICE on her family. I would like her to take action to address racism against the asian community and educate others about how racism against asians has been downplayed, if she do something like this, I would consider that she took accountability because all she is doing is all words and no actions.
Apology doesn't mean accountability. I'm not saying it's invalid because it is valid the racism that is going on is unacceptable. It also doesn't make what I'm saying invalid? What Cierra did was all words and no actions, that's not accountability to me. She did not take ANY steps to rectify the harm that she has caused when she has a large platform. If she can do simple things like sharing resources on combating asian hate or continuing to learn more about asian hate and educating others on it
Yes and I’m African American. Many people say the word even the rapper Mexican Ot says it told black he didn’t care. I’m not saying it’s right however many people use it over and over again and that’s not a battle we as AA can continue to fight over again. My point is with Cierra she apologized way in advance before going on to the show.
