#NotYourAsianSidekick: Can a social movement start on Twitter? | http://t.co/sFVR0VfcUk@suey_park @kai_ma @originalspin #AAPI
— Jenn Reappropriate (@reappropriate) December 20, 2013
Now that @suey_park‘s hashtag #NotYourAsianSidekick has certified platinum status, blogger and self-identified Gen Y-er Jenn of @reappropriate asks us to consider the far-reaching impact of critical movements that existed long before Twitter, blogs, and hashtags described elements of the millennial era.
Jenn writes,
#NotYourAsianSidekick has brought the Millennials into this movement, in a new and exciting way. We’ve got the Millennials onboard (and they’re happy to drive the Twitter bus, while I’m still stuck trying to get my own Twitter account out of Neutral). Rather to get stuck on who thought of what first, let’s figure out how to best incorporate that youthful energy to add fuel to the greater Asian American (and Asian American feminist) social movement. Let’s figure out how to help #NotYourAsianSidekick tap into the population of young Millennials whom the Gen X-ers/Gen Y-ers obviously were not adequately reaching on our own. Let’s figure out how we — all of us — can let this moment evolve our existing social movement.
#NotYourAsianSidekick has our attention, so where do we go from here? Jenn asks us, can Twitter start a movement? Read more at Reappropriate. Share your thoughts there and below.

Amplify blogger Keziyah Lewis (@KeziyahL) loves Twitter so much that she’s “willing to admit that it’s not perfect, and that we can do better”. Is the medium the message, or would we still have this debate if Twitter didn’t exist? Read more at Amplify. Share your thoughts below.
