The Democrats have alienated Asian-Americans with policies like affirmative action for years.
COVID comes along and despite the media trying to play up violence against Asians early on, it fizzled out because nothing was really happening. But somehow now, two years after COVID hit the US, it's all about Asians being attacked because of it and how the Democrats will protect them with legislation. Now that a Democrat is president and they need to be able to push their regressive policies without Asians calling them out for it.
And people are going to fall for it.
I've seen kind of the opposite.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say your friend is probably third generation, MAYBE second.
Virtually every first and second generation asian I've talked to despise blacks. Too much theft, too much murder, and too much stolen opportunity. They see all the tax money going to blacks being wasted and lament that they can't use it to build or expand a business.
Even the third and on generations seem really hesitant.
I think your friend is a pragmatic who knows exactly how bad it is but sees whites as the losing party and so latches onto the grift and the lies as a means of self preservation. They think, "Maybe if I speak now and fall in line I'll gain more time or they might not come after me."
This is I believe a very good thing for us.
All we need is a handful of white champions unafraid of the labels to force through a white awakening. It's already set and primed. As soon as it does so many centrists and leftists will flip sides immediately.
White liberals have an out group bias. At least Asians are neutral towards whites. White liberals hate white people.
Here's the liberal outgroup bias. There's a study that I can't find at the moment that surveyed people of all races and asked what racial makeup that they prefer in a neighborhood, and all races (including asians) preferred having white neighbors.
White liberals, quite literally, hate white people. Which is why they readily buy into the "I hate whitey" crap.
You wouldn’t want to live next to someone who you despise.
Look at it from the bright side - your mere existence bothers SJWs and makes them miserable.
This shit's either gonna go full SA or its gonna go all the way back in the opposite direction ending with another art school reject taking power
And with how armed+spread out a lot of hwite people are, i'm leaning towards the latter.
What about if we get a black art school reject?
Might as well just go ahead and go all in with whites. Bashing the white man won't save them from the mob forever.
It’s more than that. As we’re coming out of lockdown the realities of de-centralized manufacturing and the literal-tyranny of the CCP are inching close to the mainstream. This whole Asian thing is quite literally a corporate marketing campaign so they can reposition any criticism of China as racist. Every publicly traded company on earth is desperate to crack that nut and they’re trying to make sure they’re not canceled for it.
Nailed it. This is a propaganda frame to diminish future critics of China, signaling that some bad China-related shit is on the horizon.
Never let a crisis go to waste and all that.
At the end of the day the game is not about truth, helping people, equality, racism it is about power. Power that the left can use to mention control, power for asians. Now they can claim privileged status along with other "oppressed" minorities.
As soon as asians get their society bonuses that they've craved for so long they will throw whites under the buss. They will not care that most asian hate crimes are done by black people, that asian hate crimes are very low or that, relative to the population percentage, asians are a greater threat to asians then whites.
I can guarantee you that when the news broke about a white guy killing asian girls a lot of asians were all to happy.
It's helping bury the lawsuit against universities having anti-asian acceptance policies
They are also using "Asian" as a huge umbrella term. I recall one attack reported on the news the person was clearly from India. Yeah, I know it's technically Asian, but they are still being willfully vague about it to fit a very specific narrative.
When Kamela was talking about the incident in Atlanta they introduced her as asian.
Ah yes, I remember when there was the Trump Asian conspiracy, where he allegedly allied with the well-known Asian President Putin to steal votes through facebook ads, because Russia is on the Asian continental plate.
Russians, UAErs, Indians, and Japanese people are all basically the same because they occupy the same magma-floating-rock, I learned that from the MSM!
I can see one would think they would do it to further their leftist narrative but the U S. has been classifying people from India under the umbrella term of "Asians" for decades.
As ignorant as people can be with cultural disparity, (dumbasses still can't tell the difference between China and Japan) India is so incredibly different, I'm not sure even the dumbest of fucks would confuse one for someone who is Chinese.
