Summary

Undocumented Chinese men are alarmed by Trump’s plan to prioritize their deportation, citing baseless national security concerns about “military-age” immigrants.

Many fled political persecution or economic hardship and reject claims of being a threat.

Legal experts warn of racial profiling and expanded ICE raids, urging immigrants to know their rights. Deportation fears grow as China cooperates in repatriation efforts.

Chinese immigrants express anxiety over family separations and harsh consequences if returned, emphasizing they seek safety and stability, not harm.

Critics call Trump’s policies cruel and unjustified.

    False analogy, no one said anyone was racist against white people for saying they don’t support the US.

    If you’re agreeing with someone who literally maligned a race, you are racist too. Period.

      Yes, again, I know you think accepting facts is racist, but I’m not going to lie to myself about factual statements.

      Unless you can tell me which group of people is a bigger threat. Feel free to use crime data.

          Got it. Just like all those racist Native Americans who say things like, “white people stole our land.”

          Right?

            Wrong. All X are Y does not imply all Y are X.

            It is racist to say “White people are Z”, period. If 100% of Z are white people, that changes nothing.

            This is very basic logic you’re failing at. Think about it.

              no it’s not. first, whiteness isn’t a race, it’s an oppressive social construct. second, racism is power+privilege, so you can’t be racist to white people

              Got it. If a Native American says, “white people are the ones who stole our land,” they’re racist. If they say “white people stole our land,” they are not racist.

              encourage you to think about what forces created the categories you are discussing. who came up with the concept of “race” as you are currently using it?
