I had previously worked in Afghanistan for State. I had a top secret security clearance. But here was a letter saying we don’t trust you. What confused me more is that I didn’t even apply to work on Korea. The StateDept was proactively telling me they didn’t trust me. 2/13

As strange as this nationalist identity politics might seem, it has deep roots in the original decision to install the United States as the global military hegemon, as I uncover in @TomoTheWorld. FDR, in 1940, likened a hemispheric sphere of influence to total imprisonment: pic.twitter.com/S3XK5ifjJV

Ironically this happened the day everyone is talking about prejudice against #AAPI . Behind this photo was a disturbing experience. I was getting ready for my TV live shot at BLM Plaza, 3 female Korean reporters were setting up at my left. Two people, the man was filming with an pic.twitter.com/4m1KMGGRE2

Jill and I are keeping everyone impacted by the shootings in Atlanta in our prayers. We don’t yet know the motive, but what we do know is that the Asian-American community is feeling enormous pain tonight. The recent attacks against the community are un-American. They must stop.

Chinese diaspora is not accountable to the PRC gov, but it's still not acceptable that 99% of western media coverage on China is negative. PRC gotta be doing some things right if they got 850M people outta poverty, modernized their cities, controlled COVID, & have 90% approval.

不需要理会那些杂音,这里有一部美国华人,被大族裔欺压,觉着爽。 他们把这种爽,转移到恨中国共产党身上。很是莫名其妙。
昨天我和一个本地(南加州)的教会“执事” 电话聊天。 他说他们牧师(以前是中国的民运人士)说美国亚裔被欺负的报道是假的,是美国左派媒体故意要吓唬华人,为了华人的选票。大家不要相信民主党的总统。 上帝就是白人,他们都是好人。
我不知道应该说什么。。。。只想骂粗口。
只有扬起头,不要估计美国,走自己的路了 - 中国领导人有一半俄国普京的胆量,台湾问题就解决啦。说实话,他们连菲力宾总统,土耳其总统的胆量都没有。
近年来的反亚裔当然是有川普挑起,但背后原因是中国的崛起和美国的衰弱,中国成了最直截了当的攻击目标。不止在政府层面,更重要的是在媒体上。当左中右所有媒体每天都在曝露关于中国的负面新闻,其中大部分都是无中生有,捕风捉影,你还能指望美国人会对华人有好印象吗?
有意思的是,等那一天他父母孩子被人骂了打了,他一下就改主意了。
欧洲爆发黑死病,都往犹太人身上赖。
人离乡贱,不过幸好中国还是独立的大国,否则像犹太人到处被人排挤杀戮,更惨。
杀不死你就让你更强大,两千年排犹弄的犹太人必须变人口精英,有钱,有文化。
不知道这种反华裔,亚裔的路会走多久远。
西方文明是建立在血腥掠夺和暴力基础上的。被压制的人口和被征服的民族都逃不掉被歧视虐待的命运。对于海外华人,中国本土人有主权,说了算,还是幸运的。
华人是否也该想想人家为什么会“歧视”你呢?那病毒明显就是从某个城市首先爆发的,世卫组织为科学目的要调查源头叫人家到国际上去找源头?

这也许是他人找茬儿的理由,但也应该是自贱的理由?
