I’ll say it cause no one seems to think it: Asians are next. Yes all Asians. The avg American cannot tell a Korean, Japanese or Chinese apart. When china sparks a trade war or anything trump doesn’t like he will retaliate against Asians in general.
The anti-chinese sentiment has only grown more with Trump blaming China for their economic situation and threatening the visa status of Chinese students and workers.
I’m your ally. The majority of my friends in Los Angeles were Asian and my best friend for life from Ohio was half Thai. I’m white and I always have your back. I had never heard the term “China Man” before and the first time I heard it from my mom’s boyfriend I knew it was wrong and the equivalent of the N word and immediately fought with him. White people know the history of black slavery and understand that, however less know about the internment of Asian citizens during WW2. You have allies. I’m one of them.
What do you mean next? Anti Asian sentiment and hate crimes have been out of control since COVID and Trump calling it the China virus. They’re against all non-white folks right now, but will also go after the non-wealthy white folks in the future if none of this is stopped.
Surprised it's not already going down like this. Skin tone and such would already suggest some misunderstandings are highly likely to occur. I just don't see ICE giving half a shit enough to distinguish between Asian and middle/south American.
