Where do Asians fit in on this? ๐ค
(Pretty sure I can't be at a protest right now, it's immediate "CCP Spy" false accusations)
Honestly, it would be great to see asian folks protest en masse. I have no idea how to put this without sounding ridiculously offensive, but it's... more of a subversion of the stereotype. Like, racist folks that I've seen use asian slurs don't really expect widespread civil disobedience like they do from (say) African Americans.
The other part is that 'asian' is a umbrella term for a wildly diverse collection of people which, again, a lot of folks are ignorant of.
MAGA folks can scream 'communist' on Twitter, sure, but I think that would backfire when directed to to a pile of Indian Americans, Korean Americans, Vietnamese Americans, Taiwanese Americans, and so on.
...But yeah. Again, I hate sounding so shallow, but if you look han chinese and are protesting pretty much alone, its seems more scary than being pasty-faced white.
