My realization of how deep Sinophobia and Anti-Asian racism runs in Western society is literally how I became a ‘tAnKiE’… Because MLs (and, to their credit, some adjacent leftists) are literally one of the few people who’s truly has my back… Liberals may act like they denounce racism on the surface, but they’ll also support rhetoric or stereotypes that are harmful to us. In other words, the people who I used to believe are ‘leftists’ are effectively the cheerleaders to the fascists who will crack my skull.
