EvaZelle | hello! #swirlchat |
Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:02:16 |
KathrinOutLoud | Hey everyone – chiming in via Atlanta! #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:03:45 |
jenkchau | Hello Swirl world! Excited to hear how being mixed has shaped you. But first, let us know your name and where you are! #swirlchat #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:03:56 |
kadavids | Hi there. Kim from Brooklyn in Germany here 😉 #swirlchat #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:04:38 |
jenkchau | Technical difficulties…sorry for delay! Hello Kathrin and Corina! Welcome! #swirlchat #swirlchat |
Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:04:50 |
jenkchau | Well, let’s get started and we will see who else joins us! How has being mixed shaped you? #swirlchat |
Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:06:13 |
KathrinOutLoud | I am at a southern organizing summit so my chiming in may be in pieces but I am here #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:06:21 |
kadavids | @jenkchau Hey there. Can I help? #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:06:21 |
jenkchau | Thanks Kim. TweetDeck isn’t working for me right now, so harder to toggle between handles. So it’s me today! 🙂 #swirlchat |
Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:07:28 |
EvaZelle | currently have family over, so, my chat will be sporadic as well, but, definitely here #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:08:06 |
swirlinc | Hi guys! Welcome to this week’s #swirlchat. Thanks for joining Kathrin, Corina, Jen! Please introduce yourselves 🙂 | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:08:10 |
kadavids | @jenkchau ok i’m on it lol 🙂 #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:08:32 |
KathrinOutLoud | Being mixed has shaped my values, the way I see the world, walk the world and a particular politic. #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:09:11 |
jenkchau | @kadavids Thanks! 🙂 #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:09:13 |
RWG_sian | Hi all, I’m chiming in from DC for my first chat with yall #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:09:45 |
jenkchau | @KathrinOutLoud Can you say more about how it has shaped your values? Can you give us an example? #swirlchat |
Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:09:47 |
jenkchau | @RWG_sian Welcome! #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:10:12 |
swirlinc | @KathrinOutLoud Sounds cool! Thanks for taking the time to join #swirlchat #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:10:17 |
KathrinOutLoud | Fact that I’ve often felt isolated/excluded influences my organizing within other communities that are intentionally marginalized #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:10:28 |
swirlinc | @RWG_sian Welcome to #swirlchat! Chime in anytime 🙂 #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:10:56 |
EvaZelle | @KathrinOutLoud i agree. politics and race are so intertwined. someone once informed me that the personal becomes public #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:11:02 |
KathrinOutLoud | @RWG_sian Hey there lady – great that made it! #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:11:06 |
swirlinc | @EvaZelle Cool, thanks for joining #swirlchat Eva! #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:11:25 |
jenkchau | @KathrinOutLoud Right. I have had a similar inclination. Once you have felt exclusion, you are sensitive to others who feel it. #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:11:32 |
swirlinc | Gr8 pt! RT @jenkchau: I have had a similar inclination. Once you have felt exclusion, you are sensitive to others who feel it. #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:12:27 |
jenkchau | I do think there is truth to being able to interact with diverse groups since it’s something I had to learn to do as a kid. #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:12:36 |
EvaZelle | @jenkchau @KathrinOutLoud yes, empathy and standoffishness come to mind.an odd dialectic becomes pronounced #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:12:44 |
KathrinOutLoud | @jenkchau sure – particularly doing anti-oppression work around #racialprofiling and gender based oppression. #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:13:10 |
lawscribe | @swirlinc hi all, thanks for alert @EvaZelle #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:13:13 |
jenkchau | @KathrinOutLoud Absolutely. #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:13:53 |
swirlinc | @lawscribe Welcome to #swirlchat! Glad you could make it 🙂 #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:14:06 |
jenkchau | @EvaZelle Standoffishness? Can you explain? #swirlchat |
Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:14:23 |
swirlinc | @jenkchau Did you grow up in a diverse environment? #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:15:37 |
jenkchau | @swirlinc Um no. Not diverse at all. Very homogeneous. Very white. We noticed when a family of color moved into the neighborhood. #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:16:58 |
jenkchau | I think that’s another factor. If you grow up and feel absolutely different, I think it makes you more sensitive to “difference.” #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:17:51 |
KathrinOutLoud | I think TweetDeck is not cooperating today! #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:17:52 |
jenkchau | @KathrinOutLoud Mine is finally working again. 🙂 #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:18:07 |
jenkchau | @lawscribe What about you? What has your experience been? #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:18:28 |
KathrinOutLoud | @jenkchau Same here. We lived near US Military bases in Germany, but on the economy. I was always the only brown kid in my school #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:18:29 |
jenkchau | @KathrinOutLoud How did that impact you? What was school like? #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:19:21 |
kadavids | When I was young, a classmate told me my parents didn’t belong together. It’s been a roller coaster ever since 😉 #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:19:28 |
jenkchau | @kadavids Kids sure are honest and willing to share their beliefs! 🙂 #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:20:30 |
KathrinOutLoud | @jenkchau very isolating. Didn’t have other mixed/brown friends until high school where I met turkish folks who were organizing. #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:20:34 |
akendeall | I don’t think most do it on purpose. When was the last time u were in a room of mostly mixed-race ppl? Not often in Pittsburgh #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:21:20 |
KathrinOutLoud | @kadavids Wow that is harsh #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:21:28 |
jenkchau | @KathrinOutLoud Yup – didn’t really have friends of color until high school. #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:21:33 |
jenkchau | @akendeall YES! Your outlook reminder worked! 😉 #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:21:46 |
kadavids | @jenkchau @KathrinOutLoud yea kids say the darnest things :- #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:21:57 |
swirlinc | @akendeall Welcome to #swirlchat! #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:22:23 |
KathrinOutLoud | @akendeall In organizing, I am in rooms with brown, black, mixed-race folks almost all the time – now anyway! #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:22:31 |
jenkchau | @akendeall Yea,I don’t think most people have exposure to mixed race folks. Or we don’t get to tell our stories often enough #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:22:58 |
swirlinc | RT @akendeall: I dont think most do it on purpose. When was the last time u were in a room of mostly mixed-race ppl? #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:24:14 |
jenkchau | @KathrinOutLoud I think as adults, we can self-select into groups….though these days, with internet, I am sure it’s easier. #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:24:34 |
jenkchau | I just dated myself “though these days with internet.” LOL. I sound like a dinosaur. But truth be told…. #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:25:20 |
jenkchau | I didn’t have an email address until college. So no internet searching 4 other POCs with similar interests when I was a kid! #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:26:16 |
swirlinc | @jenkchau brings up the point of generational differences. How has the web impacted your experience being #mixed? #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:27:38 |
RWG_sian | @swirlinc Is it weird that most of my friends are mixed? It’s not uncommon for me to be in a room of mostly mixed ppl. #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:27:55 |
swirlinc | +1 RT @RWG_sian: Is it weird that most of my friends are mixed? Its not uncommon for me to be in a room of mostly mixed ppl. #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:28:45 |
jenkchau | @RWG_sian I don’t think it’s weird… is it that you bond over similar experiences? Is that what brings you together? #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:28:53 |
KathrinOutLoud | @RWG_sian are most of your friends movement folk? #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:29:33 |
EvaZelle | apologies for dropping off,i wanted to clarify standoffishness as being empathetic to minority causes while recognizing that you #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:29:35 |
EvaZelle | don’t necessarily have a set minority group to call your own in the same way that others are publicly/federally recognized #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:30:16 |
kadavids | @RWG_sian that’s awesome! wish i knew more mixed ppl in #Germany (cc: @KathrinOutLoud – come back ;-)) #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:30:23 |
KathrinOutLoud | @kadavids real funny! I will be back next summer for the afrogerman bundestreffen! #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:30:56 |
RWG_sian | @jenkchau I guess initially it was similar views on race that we had in common. #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:31:26 |
jenkchau | @EvaZelle I think I understand what you mean… #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:31:32 |
jenkchau | @RWG_sian Right. So, I think that makes sense. We tend to seek out others with similar values, views. #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:31:58 |
RWG_sian | @KathrinOutLoud not mvmt per se, but into mulricultural stuff, diversity, POC issues, CJ, human rights, etc #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:32:12 |
jenkchau | I suppose it doesn’t hurt to have friends who are really different than us. I think that we find similar people by default. #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:32:25 |
swirlinc | @EvaZelle welcome back! gotcha, one box doesn’t fit all #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:32:59 |
KathrinOutLoud | @RWG_sian really glad and blessed I’ve met you our shared #racialprofiling work! #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:33:19 |
kadavids | @jenkchau its nice to have someone who understands though, like a big hapa sister 😉 #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:33:36 |
kadavids | @jenkchau but i also appreciate the different perspectives & ideas my friends bring too. a true melting pot of sorts 😉 #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:34:22 |
RWG_sian | @KathrinOutLoud backatcha 🙂 #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:34:22 |
KathrinOutLoud | How has growing up mixed impacted your familial relationships? #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:34:24 |
jenkchau | @kadavids You can say that again, little hapa sister! 🙂 My mixed friends have been very important to me in finding my own way… #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:35:01 |
EvaZelle | @jenkchau @EvaZelle i feel that not having had that history of a recognized group attributes to a heightened sense of alienation #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:35:41 |
swirlinc | RT @KathrinOutLoud: How has growing up mixed impacted your familial relationships? #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:35:47 |
jenkchau | @EvaZelle Yes. That’s why I started Swirl! I knew that there was no reason why we should feel alienated. There are a lot of us…#swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:36:32 |
jenkchau | …we just needed to be able to find each other! #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:36:43 |
EvaZelle | @KathrinOutLoud omg, yes. and i think it’s important to register how you felt when/if your rents discussed your race in terms of #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:37:06 |
swirlinc | RT @jenkchau: @EvaZelle Yes. That’s why I started Swirl! I knew that there was no reason why we should feel alienated. There are a lot of us…#swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:37:32 |
RWG_sian | @KathrinOutLoud not a huge impact on my fam, but people think i’m my dad’s wife a lot (he’s white), which creeps me out #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:37:51 |
EvaZelle | @kathrinoutloud politics and socio-cultural issues. it’s a little disturbing, case in point: affirmative action #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:37:59 |
jenkchau | @RWG_sian I have had similar experiences where people have thought I was my dad’s younger gf. Awkward. #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:39:11 |
RWG_sian | @EvaZelle how did ur parents talk about affirmative action? my mom told me to be “black” on apps #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:39:40 |
jenkchau | @EvaZelle Good point. How did your families talk about race, if at all? #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:39:41 |
KathrinOutLoud | @kadavids it’s an annual get together for afrogermans…August every year – long weekend of family, friends #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:39:49 |
RWG_sian | @jenkchau yeah there’s weird race/gender stuff there I think, cuz i think it happens most with white dads and brown daughters #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:40:35 |
KathrinOutLoud | @jenkchau @kadavids definitely my mixed friends are more like family especially when my family feel like strangers #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:40:48 |
swirlinc | RT @RWG_sian: @EvaZelle how did ur parents talk about affirmative action? #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:40:56 |
jenkchau | @RWG_sian Absolutely… #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:41:12 |
jenkchau | @KathrinOutLoud I definitely went through a period of time where I couldn’t relate very well to my family. #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:42:17 |
EvaZelle | @swirlinc @RWG_sian @jenkchau we were encouraged to put down ‘black’but told to do what we felt was right.which is tough #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:42:22 |
kadavids | @RWG_sian I usually pick Black, but my mom used to be offended I didn’t pick Asian (she’s Chinese). I like the shock factor. #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:42:28 |
kadavids | @jenkchau @KathrinOutLoud Me too. I felt they didn’t understand what I was going thru, esp since they didn’t grow up in the US #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:43:06 |
KathrinOutLoud | @kadavids I strongly ID as AfroGerman and Cubana…the latter moreso in recent years. My mom has visceral reactions to that #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:43:09 |
EvaZelle | also,my mom saw the legitimacy behind it while my dad(white)didn’t&was offended if I declared myself black #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:43:25 |
KathrinOutLoud | @kadavids @jenkchau my mom often wishes that I would just say I have a tan #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:43:34 |
kadavids | @kathrinoutloud no way! how do you respond to that? #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:44:49 |
jenkchau | I think it’s hard for parents. They will have a reaction or response to the ways in which their mixed children choose to identify.#swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:45:00 |
jenkchau | It’s hard to let go of ego in parenting (is my guess)…but it’s important. #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:45:23 |
lawscribe | @jenkchau I grew up in very non-diverse setting with racism. Now in LA where there is so many multi-racials one hardly notices. #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:45:50 |
KathrinOutLoud | @kadavids probably not in the best way – I tell her she had sex with a black man and this is what she got. We avoid this topic. #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:45:55 |
kadavids | @jenkchau I used to say Black till I went to China for the first time. I finally felt connected & started to identify as mixed. #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:46:04 |
jenkchau | @lawscribe Yes…multiracial people are becoming more commonplace (recognized?). #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:46:35 |
jenkchau | @KathrinOutLoud Yikes! Lol. #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:46:46 |
EvaZelle | @jenkchau absolutely.parents don’t understand and react the way the world reacts:if you say one,you lose the other,when being #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:46:48 |
kadavids | @jenkchau But of course even in China, someone called me a monkey :- #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:46:56 |
EvaZelle | @jenkchau mixed means holding yourself in a dialectic of identities whose histories often contradict each other #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:47:30 |
kadavids | @kathrinoutloud lol oh no #ackwardfamilymoments #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:47:31 |
jenkchau | @kadavids No comment. 😦 #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:47:31 |

KathrinOutLoud | @kadavids @jenkchau told you I don’t respond well to that – it has just been such a place of contention #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:48:39 |
KathrinOutLoud | RT @kadavids: RT @evazelle: @jenkchau mixed means holding yourself in a dialectic of identities whose histories often contradict each other #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:48:58 |
jenkchau | I think we get exposed to a lot of racism that other folks (who are presumed to be one thing) don’t see. #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:49:43 |
jenkchau | And the positive of that is that I feel I have been exposed to more truth about how people respond to race. Which helps me…. #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:50:14 |
jenkchau | …in my anti-racism work. #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:50:21 |
KathrinOutLoud | @jenkchau most definitely – i think the conversations become more real, reflective of how things really are on the ground #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:51:05 |
kadavids | @jenkchau Def. My fav is when ppl don’t realize I’m mixed and make an off comment about one of my cultures #ackwardmoments #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:52:20 |
jenkchau | @kadavids Yes. That’s what I call a “racial spy” moment. 😉 #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:52:43 |
EvaZelle | @jenkchau @kadavids this comes in handy when you’re in company of friends you’re testing out.not telling them&hearing where their #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:53:54 |
KathrinOutLoud | Hate to do this folks….but I have to bail….LOVE this conversation today! My battery is not my friend today #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:54:00 |
EvaZelle | @kadavids @jenkchau true thoughts lie #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:54:08 |
EvaZelle | @KathrinOutLoud bye love! thanks for your insight! #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:54:47 |
jenkchau | @KathrinOutLoud Thanks for coming Kathrin! #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:55:06 |
swirlinc | @KathrinOutLoud Thanks for joining and talk to you in 2 weeks! #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:55:26 |
jenkchau | @EvaZelle Sneaky! 🙂 I see what you mean.We are definitely exposed to the truth in many ways when people don’t know “what” we R. #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:56:05 |
EvaZelle | @jenkchau precisely,but this is necessary and affords us that previous balance i mentioned:being inside&outside all at once #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:56:56 |
jenkchau | @EvaZelle Right. #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:57:29 |
swirlinc | Wow, time sure flies! That’s almost the hour. Any last thoughts Swirlies? #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:58:16 |
EvaZelle | just want to say thank you @jenkchau for starting Fusion @Wellesley and continuing your efforts in the real world #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:59:16 |
jenkchau | @swirlinc That with challenges, also come great experiences. It’s all about balance. #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:59:22 |
jenkchau | @EvaZelle Thanks Corina! Had to do something when I saw the need for it! Thank YOU for all you have done to get SwirlAtlanta up! #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 20:00:08 |
kadavids | Thanks to @jenkchau for starting @swirlinc and being the best big hapa sister ever! #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 20:00:19 |
EvaZelle | @jenkchau so that we CAN have that camaraderie we might have missed growing up in a predominately “other” environment #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 20:00:31 |
jenkchau | @kadavids Ok, now i’m feeling the love. 🙂 #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 20:00:36 |
jenkchau | @EvaZelle PRECISELY. #swirlchat | Fri, 09 Sep 2011 20:00:46 |

We are trying to accommodate members in different parts of this country (and the world!) so we are going to begin to offer a weekday evening time. We will continue to have two live TweetChats per month. One on a Friday at 3pm EDT and the other (most likely, but still to be confirmed) on a Wednesday at 8pm EDT.
