Exoticized Quotes

“Why does the twenty-first century feel like this?
Like men are talking into
their favorite phonograph
& the phonograph is me
receiving their baritone: You're so exotic
Watch out, men, says my violin
I am a Royal Bengal man-eating tiger”
― Analicia Sotelo, Virgin

“She was alone and grown. And had somehow done the worst thing a Chinese woman could do, whore herself out to a white man”
― Aube Rey Lescure, River East, River West
