      Asians, especially Chinese/Japanese/Korean people, have an interesting standing in many places outside of asia. They still experience a tonne of racism, but for some reason they don’t get nearly the violent hate that other people of colour get.

      Racism will say that Black people are criminals, latinos are lazy, and Middle Easteners are terrorists but most of what asian people seem to get are comments about weird food, good grades, and racist caricatures. They’re treated as this white-adjacent group. It won’t save them, but it does sorta explain why that kid is there.

      Now, the black and hispanic people who are part of ICE can get absolute rat-fucked a million ways to Sunday because they’re there for the love of the game at that point. Everyone in ICE is a bare-minimum terrible but holy shit, the fuck do they think they’re doing?

        I am Vietnamese and so I know the Vietnamese diaspora also are conservatives that hate communism so they are far right of the spectrum. In Vietnamese communities, a lot of people fly the South Vietnamese flag side by side with the American flag

        theres also interesting thing amongst asians, they love to be around / want to be white because they represent wealth and power, thats why salivate over people like musk, trump, etc. at least for china they use white people as thier “advertising face” for thier companies to make them look more legitimate. if you look alot of amazon products they can be traced back to china, but its all western whites in the advertisements, never chinese, or other pocs.

        thats why alot of them lean conservatives, hard right.

      I’ve seen a few people of color working for this ICE regime here and there. Not sure why they think it’s a good idea or it’s going to protect them. They are just an email away from being next and those white dude’s they work alongside will have no qualms about throwing them in a detention center.

      Reach out to a kid who’s still figuring out his world view and offer him $45/hr to walk around an airport, and I think he might compromise his shaky morals a bit.
