This is why Asian Americans are on the bottom of the totem pole. Instead of fighting against anti-Asian racism it is always Japanese Americans against Korean Americans, Taiwanese Americans against Mainland Chinese Americans, or even worse when it is Chinese on Chinese. How could you expect others to respect you when you don't even respect yourself?
America or rather, the Anglosphere has always had an animus against China and Chinese in particular; Kiron Skinner merely voiced what was essentially America's guiding principle: to ensure only a white anglo nation would dominate the world. Even more significant was that this was coming from a black woman which goes to show that as Putin said, the Anglo led West have no principles, and will condition all other races to serve the white anglo power structure. You pretty much have to go back to 1600s to see anything written with any sort of respect for China and Chinese culture. Everything else since then has been through a racist lens of Anglo Chauvinism, expressed in Jack London's fanfic about genociding Chinese people with bioweapons.
It's the sort of sentiment which has modern Jack London types mooting the use of nukes in a losing war against Chinese forces. because China surpassing or besting a God ordained, pristine, white race in combat, is bound to create an extinction response in the psyche of a fanatical ruling class whose only religion is their own genetic narcissism.
US MIC wins, Germany getting dunked again. Natural circle of life
Divide and Rule, as the British Empire did.
There are MANY Asian-Americans advocating for anti-Chinese hate including lots of Korean and Vietnamese-Americans who supposedly hate communism but in reality demonize anyone or thing related to China or Chinese.
But the worst advocates for hate come from new generation Taiwanese, new generation Hong Kongers and Falun Gongers. Those people are rabid in their hate.
My family came from Hong Kong and many of my friends growing up were Taiwanese. We all thought of ourselves as Chinese-Americans. Recently, these new youngsters from Taiwan and Hong Kong hated everything about China and panders to the hate. Many of them say they are not Chinese. They would try to prove the point by heaping hate on anything Chinese.
So I would say just keep yourself and family safe, it is too late to counteract and too many anti-Chinese haters even inside Asian community. Monterey Park is majority Chinese and still this happened.
These youngsters response the way they do because
American/Anglo society rewards them when they do and punishes and persecutes those brave enough to speak out against the Anti-Chinese pogroms against Chinese.
The USG desperately needs a war against China, they're sure as hell not going to stop these pogroms or massacres against Chinese, even if it kills the odd Filipino or Vietnamese or the Koreans.
The only surefire path forward to stopping these attacks is, and i am not advocating this, but simply stating facts: the threat of violence against the bodies and peoples connected to the perpetrators.
