Uneducated comment, removed.

My dude... Not only can Asians be racist, they are some of the most racist people around. Go to China and listen to them talk about other races. They make Alabama seem like a pinnacle of equality and tolerance.

Taiwan #1!!!

Can confirm, I have Asian friends and they can say some pretty spicy things about their neighboring countries. Of course, if they actually meet someone from that country they'll call them an exception.

It's pretty wild IMO.

We had a Thai exchange student while I was in high school.

She used skin whitening cream, and refused to talk to myself and my mother because we were the dark ones in the family.

So yeah, Asians can be insanely racist.

If you actually read the article, you’d see your assumption is wrong.

Anik Talukder, a 28-year-old south Asian man living in the United Kingdom, said he apologized at least 10 times to Schmidt-Hori after accepting her Zoom invitation to discuss his Reddit post about her.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 days ago

Yeah, that's just racist in the other direction. You could read the article where it gives some examples and the part where Schmidt-Hori met some of them on video.

The article disagrees

I’m Asian-European and in my experience there are many Asians who are right wing racist shit heads. Not to mention all the self hating Asian women who hate every Asian man on the planet including their own family members.

Thank you. I didn't read that the Asian in the subject was not American but British, but some folk seem to not realise that Asians can be both right-wing and a national of a non-Asian country.

[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Go ahead and say "white." You mocked the idea they're Asian but then replaced it with an ideology and a nationality. You think they're white, right?

[–] Lyra_Lycan@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

No, read it, it said they're Asian. Right wing Americans can actually include other demographics, you know
