I’ve got an old high school friend who is now a deep-in-the-weeds Texas Republican (photo-ops with Greg Abbot, dinner parties with Dinesh D’Souza, etc) and she’s a Taiwanese ex-pat. It blows my mind, because she’s in the heart of the beast and she’s constantly eating shit for looking Chinese. But she’s so heavily invested in the GOP as her meal ticket that she keeps eating their shit day in and day out.

looking Chinese
:trump: Many folks are saying, they came to me crying and said, its_the_same_picture.jpg
Well, presumably she is Han and not Formosan
there was a Chinese RNC person that was getting accusations of being a “CCP spy”
How is the GOP her meal ticket? I thought they directly opposed giving anyone anything. Or do you just mean that she’s very mentally invested?
She’s a lawyer with a clientele of conservative families. She’s had a number of appointments to municipal and state commissions by Republican elected reps. And she’s worked as a family law judge for a few years after winning one of the local way-down-ticket races.
Also, her husband works for a foundation funded by conservative donors and does consulting work for the party.
Her livelihood is literally tied up with the Republican Party.
I think the constant warmongering towards the PRC in western media probably has something to do with it
was there ever really a point in US history chinese americans could go a year without experiencing discrimination? the framing of sinophobic hate since covid has always playacted like this came out of nowhere, as if there isn’t a mass grave of chinese railworkers or miners in every western state
Details: Nearly half of Chinese Americans report being treated with less respect than other people, according to the study, one of the most extensive surveys of Chinese Americans ever conducted.
More than a quarter say they’ve experienced bias or hate episodes such as being physically intimidated or assaulted, having their property vandalized or damaged, and being called racial slurs.
The study found that eight in 10 Chinese American citizens were registered voters, and that 91% of those registered voters voted in the 2020 presidential election.
Racism, crime, gun control, and the economy were identified as the top four most important issues facing the U.S. by the survey respondents.
Why was that part of the survey? Are we gonna
the racism away?The minds of even well-intentioned libs work in mysterious ways
That level of turnout is actually rather remarkable
critical support to the yanks for helping china reduce brain drain
