Things that are so obvious and ingrained that no one even thinks about them.

Here’s a few:

All US americans can go to Mexico EASILY. You’re supposed to have a passport but you don’t even need one (for car/foot crossing). Versus, it’s really hard for Mexicans, who aren’t wealthy, to secure a VISA to enter the US. I’m sure there are corollaries in other geo-regions.

Another one is wealthy countries having access to vaccines far ahead of “poor” countries.

In US, we might pay lip service to equal child-hood education but most of the funding pulls from local taxes so some kids might receive ~$10000 in spending while another receives $2000. I’m not looking it up at the moment, but I’m SURE there are strong racial stratas.

Good thing we've got Andrew Yang trying to build a political career around keeping that stereotype alive.

Andrew Yang is a trailblazer breaking tropes because he's actually very stupid

Exactly! It's so slimey, like bro why would you want to play into that? Why make it harder for other people like you so you can get what? Some votes?

It's just plainly racist and gross, and I think it's uniquely gross towards Asian men as if they don't already have enough weirdo racist tropes they have to deal with. I say this is a black man, i feel for them
