Social activists have digitized the civil rights movement, changing the course of race and politics from the comfort of their smartphones. More than just tweets and shares, these small efforts combine to create tangible change in society. From better casting choices in big budget Hollywood films to more authentic dining experiences at high-end restaurants, social activism is a vehicle for change and progress. Is it all smoke and mirrors or have the “SJWs” tapped into something deeper?
Ranier Maningding is a Filipino-American advertising copywriter and writer for The Love Life of an Asian Guy (LLAG), a growing social media platform for race, politics and pop culture. Created in 2008, LLAG started as a WordPress blog for Maningding to debunk myths about Asian male identities and stereotypes through candid stories about his college dating life. After the shooting of Michael Brown in 2014, Maningding saw a lack of solidarity from the Asian-American community and shifted the focus of LLAG from dating to politics, to help combat injustice toward the Black community and push against the grain of white supremacy. Since 2014, LLAG has grown from 2,000 to 200,000 readers, reaching upwards of 11 million timelines per week. Maningding’s work has been featured in The Huffington Post, Mic, Buzzfeed and he continues to speak at Universities around the country.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at

Minorities’ voices will be heard
He is a gas lighter lmaoo
I saw this guy posting about food and how it has to be something about racism, i'm just like…how idiotic do you have to be?
Way to lose all credibility TeD
This cancer of society got to be on TED. Wow.
This guy is such a clown.
It’s ironic how these SJWs talk about intersectionalism all the time yet ignore the link between their own bigotry and how that could fuel racism. If you visit Maningding’s Facebook page you will quickly see that he spews out endless amounts of bigotry and hatred towards whites. And even in cases where a white person has supported a POC, he still denigrates the white person. What sort of society will be created if more POC actively engage in bigotry towards whites, as Mandingding preaches? Most whites are not going to react positively if they face an onslaught of hatred and bigotry. As much as some POC may want payback and revenge, society will not make progress unless we increase mutual respect, and stop dehumanizing each other, regardless of the direction.
Much respect and honor. Rainier Maningding will go down as a living legend in history. Haters gonna hate.
Nobody agrees with you dude. Lol!
I don't get the hype TEDx talks get. Juts went through 4, they were worthless. Is it a platform for people to repeat dogma, platitudes, and PC? LOL
Informative and true on distorted perceptions on racism. I agree 100% with his speech and take appreciation to individuals that speak up against racism. Im inspired! Keep up your good work.
This guy is an active Racist on multiple Facebook pages.
Also if you are against cultural appropriation so damn much, then take your damn "whypipo" modern bomber jacket off and stop speaking English..
ANGRY WHITE FOLKS HERE
LOL, he talks about "inclusive activism," yet his page is a cesspool of junk science and clickbait with healthy doses of "WHYPIPO THIS, WHYPIPO THAT." Couple that with a paper-thin ego and unwarranted self-importance, and he's just like every other identitarian shitstain on Tumblr, yet somehow even MORE physically unattractive.
Also, "activism" isn't sitting online all day writing blogs; it involves getting out on the street and doing shit. It means making tangible differences in people's everyday lives, not clickbait and memes. It means personal sacrifice. If this fraud is an "activist," than so are internet trolls on 4Chan.
its 2017 and "a movie/tv show/video game/youtube comment OFFENDED ME" is now a Civil Rights issue. To put it in a little bit of perspective: this is the same guy who says that- 1. What happened to Otto Warmbier was not only justified but HILARIOUS 2. All child molestors are white dudes 3. Chris Ray Gun is a white supremacist because #ReasonsThatimSureWillBeExplainedLater. This dude is a narcissist and a bigot.
This guy is nothing more than an angry, petty, bigot who cashes in on internet outrage. Yet another example of how TED Talks are worthless these days.
Ranier is a racist bigot. He defended North Korea's torture and murder of Otto Warmbier.
283 views lol! Great job, loser.
This shmuck is on Ted Talks?
how did this loser get a spot on ted talk?
this guy IS one of the biggest racists out there. his entire facebook is dedicated to bashing white people, callin them becky, and posting about white people as a collective. it goes both ways and he just contributes to the problem.
this guy isnt saying anything new and is a huge douche.
American problems, stop segregating your population and you might have a chance… You actually have 'black' and 'white' churches, wtf is wrong with you.
SOCIALISM?? Is Communism. In a different name. Socialist are the new slave masters.
