The image to the left shows a meme posted on Instagram by @skol_zilla. The meme shows a Black kid and an Asian kid engaging in conversation. The Black child is enforcing not one, but two harmful stereotypes about Asian people. He is making fun of the Asian girl using the stereotype that Asian people eat animals like dogs and cats, which would be considered a taboo in most places. This meme is also prejudiced against Asian people because it gives the name "Ling Ling" to the Asian girl, and that name is used to make fun of Asian people. The Asian girl is also participating in the harmful dialogue by using the stereotype that Black dads always leave their children, against the Black boy.
This image was taken from an Instagram post by @jocekittyllama. The complete post includes 10 slides explaining how Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders contribute to anti-Blackness. The post highlights different issues such as colorism in Asian American and Pacific Islander households, refusing to date or allow children to date Black people, failing to call out racism against Black people, and a few other ways in which Asian Americans can contribute to anti-Blackness.
This post was taken from the Instagram account @asianswithattitudes. It shows a meme in which an Asian person is about to kiss a Black person. Written on the photo is the phrase "every Asian mom and grandmas worst nightmare". This phrase implies that the parents of the Asian person would not only disapprove of this image, but would be horrified by it. This is one of the many ways in which anti-Blackness persists in Asian American communities. Many Asian Americans would not want their children to be in a relationship, or be intimate, with a Black person.
The image here shows another post by @jocekittyllama explaining the model minority myth. She goes on to explain why this myth is problematic and how it erases the experiences of different Asian American groups and how it implies that Black people haven't worked hard enough to move up in society. Posts like these on social media are designed to educate people and encourage minorities to unlearn ideas spread about other minorities.
The image to the left was posted by @monyeeart on Instagram and it shows an art symbol with a black panther and a yellow tiger. This piece represents AfroAsian solidarity and uses the black panther to represent African Americans and the yellow tiger to represent Asian Americans. The post also includes the words "We stand in solidarity." which shows that Asian Americans on social media have chosen to be involved in the fight for Black lives.

The account is run by 2 teenagers and their posts strive to encourage Asian Americans to stand with Black people and to unlearn racist ideologies about Black people. They post about about issues with anti-Blackness in the Asian American community, language for Asian American people to avoid using, how Asian Americans can support BLM, etc.
