SPOILERS BELOW:
Also personally speaking holy fuck Min's false spring arc was so comforting to see, as someone who was raised with backwards ideas and completely ignorant towards my own and other's cultures. I'm so out of culture that I basically only started living as a black person internally by age 18, and over the past 3 years I've made more progress than I could've imagined, but fuck I have so much more to go. And I always will, particularly with other POC. My racism is one of my biggest shames, and genuinely I thought it'd be something making me all the more inhuman (on top of other things about me) for the rest of my life.
Seeing Min, someone we've watched grow and come to fall in love with, accepting responsibility for their racism - reaching out to people that love them and help them and see them beyond their mistakes - it's so beautiful and hopeful... I come from a similar place as Min, but I know I would've curled inward and reject myself from community over taking responsibility, all out of this iron-grip instilled fear and self-perpetuating hatred from my past (I know because I have over so many things, so many times). It really helped soothe me knowing Min wouldn't have been able to come to terms with their racism as quick as they did without their amazing and dedicated friends that know them so well. I didn't have that, but maybe if I had that support and guidance then I would've taken the right path sooner. Maybe I'm not so broken. Malformed for sure, but alive and capable of change. Growth. Being happy.
Thank you.
