「弱勢族群對偏見敏感。」

Wow, the original sounds like something my mom would say to me. Feels so much worse.

The 族 feels really… idk it feels very insulting for some reason. Like you know as in the so-called “啃老族”, the 族 feels so… like it “others” you. Like, it uses other people’s failures as a reference point, like see those losers are the [X]族, you donxt wanna be like them do you.

Then anytime your parent wanna insult you, they throw you into that category of people. To make you feel bad because “you now part of the inferior group”, because your parents said so.

Lile that sounds so toxic you cannot even fix the phrase by adding “for good reasons”, I mean, its literally using 弱 “weak” as one of the characters.

Like parents always tell you to 堅強 or some shit, if a boy cries, you aren’t a 男子漢大丈夫，流汗不流淚 anymore, you are a “懦夫”, “弱者”. Showing expressions is not allowed. Emotions is weakness.

I mean of course I’d feel vulnerable and sensitive to insults. Because its literally an attack from within.

Like… there’s a power dynamic at play. The parent is always more powerful, so in this case, the child is literally 弱 “weak”. Of course their parents opinions are more sensitive to them.

Not only I have to handle bullying and racism, I also have to handle my own birthparents using toxic language against me. Attacked from both sides. What the hell.
