“He hoped that Chinese people could enjoy freedom and democracy, and did not like the way that China’s authoritarian system oppressed the common people,” said Wu’s wife, Li Caoliu, who lives in the US with him.
Hope that this is a wakeup call for Asian-Americans who think they’re model minority enough.
Anecdote and therefore statistically worthless, but nearly every Asian I’ve actually gotten to know was quite plainly racist against black and brown people. And we’ve unfortunately come to learn racism is a strong motive, stronger than self preservation in many cases.
There’s a large percentage for sure. My wife is Asian and sometimes, she goes into the terrible Facebook news spiral of watching black on Asian hate crimes.
From my perspective, those are amplified. The same hate crime by some racist white trash isn’t getting the same views or attention. They happen just as much, but nobody is filming.
100% amplified and purposefully misframed.
If people don’t learn, the spiral will collapse like OB. The dimension itself doesn’t but when distribution is meaningless to no development, compression will solidify to pavement and reality will move the fuck on.
