That is what I have been suspecting that is happening lately, like the past decade. Perhaps coming clearer in more recent years.
Asians, are considered to be white, by many people.
Some people, hate everyone, like San Fransisco Detective Dirty Harry Callahan.
Some ethnic group may not be accepted, but that same group is not rejected in similar ways as other groups.
I think people should be able to live with that.
Even the whites, do not accept the whites in the same way. That is why there are the Joo.
Not quite, Asians are considered the easy scapegoat in western societies and western influenced societies; Asians are only considered 'white' to the extent that the white power structure can redirect racial anomisity away from white elites and towards Asians eg the US police union throwing their asian police officer to the wolves of BLM but coming out to protect their white colleagues. In that particular incident, the Chinese community came out in force to protest the injustice.
You saw this with the alacrity that even Indians jumped on the bandwagon during the COVID crisis of 2020 so that they could become one with the white ruling class; in that sense US anglo led politics resemble middle school bullying and all the more reason why the Anglo yoke must be dismantled.
Asians in white society are also considered 'white' when it comes to things like racial quotas and as a release valve for white societies to prevent their white Incels to spasm into mass violence. In that sense, America can consider the rise of China to be an existential issue because without easy Asian women for otherwise involuntary celibate white americans, the mass of military age Incels could invoke uprisings as was observed during the Arab Spring and histories prior.
If you turned Thailand or Bali into moderate income societies, this could alleviate the sex tourism coming from western societies but would simply re-direct their predations to latin america or africa.
