    These people have no place in this country. The US has always been a melting pot, it is its most valuable feature imo.

    If you don’t like that, then you should fucking leave. Good riddance.

    Why not just say, nearly all Trump voters think Chinese Americans are a threat. We all know who that 25% is.

    Huh, only 25 percent, I would have thought it be around 40.

    At any rate, just a reminder to Asian American brethern and other POC, 2A is a right that applies to all Americans and you know that these racist fucks are all over 2A like White on rice.

        ABOUT OUR METHODOLOGY: To ensure representative accuracy, we ask only people still using landlines what they think. If a woman picks up, we ask for her husband or try again later. We are fully committed to keeping our data untainted by any female histrionics.

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe in the recent espionage case, the person didn’t originally take the position with the intent to spy. Rather, they were contacted by the CCP after they were already in that role and were blackmailed into spying - using their family in China as leverage.

      I mean, that’s fucked up and all, but this doesn’t counter an ‘I don’t want Chinese to be in any important position’ stance, it’s actually a pro argument.

      To combat this you can basically only attempt to counter the blackmail and sneak the whole family into the US. I don’t think that’s on the table for the current administration…

    Also guaranteed that anyone east of Turkey may be considered Chinese to these people (because thousands of years of migration means there are ethnic groups far from the usual consideration of east asian yet lineage to the land tracing back centuries to over a millennium to the region that could be mistaken visually for east asian). Also what should not be a surprise to anyone is that if Chinese people face discrimination, so will Taiwanese people

      Racists have a hard time differentiating. My daughter in law is Burmese, not Chinese. Do the racists care? Nope.

        Honestly, if you’re gonna dedicate your life to being an absolutely hateful piece of shit, take some pride, hone your craft. A good racist should be able to at least be able to get the highlights of your 23 and me profile right. The best car guys can call out the make, model, year, and trim package from a revving engine. I want to see a racist hear a foreign accent and exclaim “Oh! That’s an '81 Vietnamese-Laotian bisexual… nope wait… pansexual! … Gettem boys!”

    Literally the first federal immigration law in the US was the Asian Exclusion Act which explicitly was written to keep Chinese immigrants from challenging white dominance.

    They’re trying to line up the next minority to be sent to the Salvadoran torture prisons.

    If Americans discriminated so hard against Chinese Americans - it’d probably hit all east/southeast Asians - to the point that they were excluded from defense/security, that would decimate defense/security product development
