He actually said that.
You say this as if the racism isn't what drives Asian Republicans towards being Republicans.I'm only hoping the covid-inspired racism dislodges some conservative Chinese Americans from their Republican leanings. We are not above the race relations game though many of us like to think we are.
True that. Surprisingly didn't consider it though I'm well acquainted with most forms of AA racism, outgoing, incoming and internal.You say this as if the racism isn't what drives Asian Republicans towards being Republicans.
Just to expand, my boss is Korean American. When COVID first got bad in China in January/February, he was saying that Chinese university students in the US needed to be forcibly quarantined against their will regardless of their exposure to the virus. Then once it broke out here, and the spike in anti-Asian sentiment rose, he and his wife started talking about how horrible that was. And you know what? They are right, it is horrible and I empathize with them. But they were fine doing it themselves when it was against Chinese people specifically...until it started to become risky for them. There is some lack of self-awareness going on there.
It's a charitable interpretation of this Op-Ed that Yang 'forgot' about that; rather, this seems way more like a Leopard's Eating Faces Party/"I never thought they'd eat MY face" situation.God most people of voting age lived through 9/11 how did we forget what the aftermath of that was so quickly
Good questionWhat happens if an Asian in Texas shoots a hostile racist in a stand your ground defense with an openly carried gun. 🤔
Fuck that shit. If it comes down to it, I'll subscribe to the 'Korean on Rooftops' plan.
Basically. I grew up in North America, speak with an American accent, and dress pretty western. I was in college when 9/11 happened. Nothing I did stopped white people giving me the stink eye as I walked to class. The palpable anger in their eyes was fucking terrifying. I was lucky to have a large group of friends that weren't morons.this
This is basically what the Arab/Muslims/South Asians faced after 9/11. being "more" American doesn't do anything
Given the context, yeah it's really not.

Er...compared to what other groups?Yeah, not a fan of the "being more American"-approach. It's also probably the reason why Asian-Americans are rather bad at being bilingual in my experience.
To other Asian-groups in other countries. In Switzerland for example, it's generally encouraged to be multilingual.
Hm, OK.To other Asian-groups in other countries. In Switzerland for example, it's generally encouraged to be multilingual.

Racist is the right term when referring to hatred of specific ethnic groups. Which is what my post was referencing. But yes it's an entire cycle, Anti-Chinese sentiment is rampant in Japan, anti-japanese sentiment is rampant in Korea, anti-Korean sentiment is rampant in China, and around and around it goes. And that's not even getting into what all these cultures think of southeast asians (and vice versa).Chinese as ethnicity (but i guess the Asian in general) can be quite elitist and classist (since racist would not be the correct term there).
In China big city they look down on rural people.
In Hong kong and Singapore there is quite a bit of discrimination against Chinese coming from China or the nearby country.
I'm sure stuff it's improving, it just take some time.

Racism exists in every single culture in the entire world. And I'm talking systemic, powerful, destructive racism. It is everywhere
AbsolutelyEh, Korean -> Chinese -> Japanese are like the racism trifecta in East Asia lol. All three are racist towards each other.
Yeah but there is a much more obvious example than what you gave: the UighursI was more referring the discrimination inside the Chinese ethnicity itself. Like the rich black family looking down on other blacks coming from a different background.

Conservatives hear in the UK have made uncle tom out to be a racial slur... wonder why ay?
He already suspended his presidential campaign. Why is he still virtue signalling to 4chan about being "one of the good ones"?
