Hi Fion, I found your Wiki page really informative! I particularly like the table you created to emphasize how discrimination can take many forms. One area for improvement may be to include more citations after some of your claims (I apologize if you are still in the process of doing this, and if this is the case, please just ignore my comment).

The phenomenon of identity denial came to mind as an example of discrimination you may want to mention as an example of a more covert form of racism. Here is a citation to an encyclopedia entry on the topic:

Huynh, Q. (2013). Identity denial in K.D. Keith (Ed.). Encyclopedia of cross-cultural psychology(pp.682-684). John Wiley & Sons Inc. doi: 10.1002/9781118339893.wbeccp276

I also noticed that you don’t address the intersection of race and disability in your analysis. I came across a study which found experiences of oppression heightened among Asian American Pacific Islanders who identify as having a disability compared with those who do not. Here is a citation in case you are interested:

Mereish, E. H. (2012). The intersectional invisibility of race and disability status: An exploratory study of health and discrimination facing asian americans with disabilities.Ethnicity and Inequalities in Health and Social Care, 5(2), 52-60. doi:10.1108/17570981211286796

Hi Fion, I too enjoyed the table you created discussing the different types of discrimination. It was short and sweet and visually pleasing because it wasn't a big chunk of text. It was a good choice doing this as it creates a break from all the other text around it.

Although it is a draft, there were a few sentences that were repeated as if copy-pasted. Remember to give your final copy a proof read!

Also, "Although the intent behind exoticizing and fetishizing Asian American women is not malicious (usually originates from a positive intent), it has serious detrimental effects on the mental well-being of women that receive those comments"

if you are able to explain how it is positive intent, I feel as if this sentence can possibly rub the reader in the wrong direction. It might be better to remove this sentence and continue on with the next one. It's easy to misunderstand and took myself a few times to reread to understand. Although exoticizing and fetishizing can seem harmless, it can be seen as quite a sensitive topic that is easily misconstrued if not explained thoroughly.
