Some Asian-Americans are losing their minds about Biden’s head secret service , David Cho.

[BringBackSonics]

And I'm here for it. It's honestly refreshing to see Asians in places you don't normally see them, secret service, Vice President, navy seal, MD, astronaut.

representation matters, being middle management, a scientist or a doctor is fine, but I'm glad to see Asian Americans breaking out of the stereotypical roles.

Just speaks to how they think the US is "supposed" to look. If it was a black person they'd say "BLM & Soros have infiltrated the WH & White Americans are going to concentration camps". If it was a Hispanic person, they'd say that "the Cartels are now running the US from the shadows". Replace Cartels with ISIS if it was anyone Middle Eastern. To them, America is white and any intrusions of color are subversive elements rather than just natural diversity. Minorities can't just want & get hired and considered for the same jobs as anyone else. We have to be intruders or unqualified plebs meant to fill a quota.

Maybe? He is a 17 year old veteran and seen as a perfectionist. and got a gold medal for handling the North Korea security detail.

For tireless and direct participation in high-level negotiations with the leaders of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, planning all security details for both Presidential visits to that country, while still leading the men and women of the Presidential Protective Division's White House Section in their zero-fail mission on the White House Complex.

There's nothing secret about who's leading the detail, despite the name of the branch.

Feels weird to know the name of someone who works for something called the Secret Service, lol.

(Regardless of my terrible joke, I do think it's cool. Representation matters.)

I understand the sentiment though. If nothing else the Capitol insurrection proved out that there are a lot of Trump adherents ready to viciously target whoever they need to even if it does nothing to advance their messiah into power. They're dangerous and craven and shouldn't be taken lightly. Feel though that the Insurrection has shown everyone in this administration, even him that they shouldn't completely underestimate the wing of this country that despises them for existing & be ready for any shenanigans from the constituents of the right.

I just wanna say that people really need to stop referring to the Secret Service as the SS lmao. And for those who have a brainfart as to why: just Google SS.

uhh...that's so stereotypical
Anyone no matter the ethnicity can go into any field they want. I was never forced to go in those fields as someone that is Asian

Saw him this morning. Very noticable. But to hear he's head of his detail. Dat Bamboo ceiling.

Good thing head of the president's secret service detail is much more attainable!

But does he have a MD degree though? Somehow I got a suspicious feeling that he might.

"Asian Twitter losing its mind" = handful of American Asians.

Let's stop putting everyone part of giant groups in tiny "Twitter" groups.

I'm loving the diversity in Biden's team. Seems every hour we hear about somebody new. They're doing the damn thing.

I can't tell if this was an intentional Kung Fu Hustle reference or just a dig on the stereotype.

That man is not gonna let any shit slip by.

 

[JuicyPlayer]

Are we allowed to know secret service agents names? I'm just kind of worried about throwing his name out there.

 

[Cels]

he's been in the secret service for almost 2 decades and was second in command in the secret service under trump

[Catshade]

I know the cat's out of the bag, but maybe it's unwise to disclose to the world the full name of the head of the president's security detail? I don't know, it seems like the kind of job where you have to stay as low-profile as possible.

[Deleted member 46493]

Losing their minds is a weird phrase to use but I agree with the sentiment. I'm not Asian American but "Asian men are only nerds or asexual kung fu maters" trope is something people believe, including other Asian Americans.

I would rather not see an action movie about him since that suggests there may be some unwanted action coming his way.

Cho is typically a Korean name. So, you know, he could be Kim Jong Un's guy or maybe even an American.

Like these people know the difference. That or they'll claim we're being controlled by North Korea.
