Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

“He hoped that Chinese people could enjoy freedom and democracy, and did not like the way that China’s authoritarian system oppressed the common people,” said Wu’s wife, Li Caoliu, who lives in the US with him.

Hope that this is a wakeup call for Asian-Americans who think they're model minority enough.

San Fran is full of Koreans who vote Republican.

Anecdote and therefore statistically worthless, but nearly every Asian I've actually gotten to know was quite plainly racist against black and brown people. And we've unfortunately come to learn racism is a strong motive, stronger than self preservation in many cases.

Asians have never been immune from bigotry etc. Where many westerners might lump them all together culturally and visually. They still find differences among themselves to hate. People are people, everywhere you go.

There's a large percentage for sure. My wife is Asian and sometimes, she goes into the terrible Facebook news spiral of watching black on Asian hate crimes.

From my perspective, those are amplified. The same hate crime by some racist white trash isn't getting the same views or attention. They happen just as much, but nobody is filming.

100% amplified and purposefully misframed.

If people don't learn, the spiral will collapse like OB. The dimension itself doesn't but when distribution is meaningless to no development, compression will solidify to pavement and reality will move the fuck on.

Oh, I'd apologize but even with punctuation, that is knot a question Be specific or be stoned. I would think you didn't understand the only acronym I used if you actually asked a question instead of barking at night like a squirrel forgetting where they left their hay.

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Sounds like much more stoned than specific.
