I wonder if Tam realizes he was rioting for the right of the white guy next to him to beat the $hit out of him with no consequences, because I guarantee that's what the white guy is thinking. I guess if he put an ounce of thought into it he wouldn't have been there in the first place.

I've heard or read somewhere that Asians usually get a pass in racist circles. I'm not sure on details or specifics or even the accuracy of that statement. Take it with a grain of salt

Before Covid maybe, but in the past year there has been a lot of racism against Asians from the rare intersection of people right enough (politically) but not claiming Covid was a hoax

My guess is that they claim they're voting for freedom. But deep down they secretly like oppressive regimes and that's why they support DT. Cubans, Venezuelans, Pilipino, former Soviet countries all these immigrant groups gravitated toward DT then gaslighted by screaming "SOCIALISM". They aren't upset that a dictator took over their country: their upset that the dictator THEY wanted isn't in power.

Cuban Americans have always been overwhelmingly just fine with authoritarians of the right wing flavor, decades before Trump. Their parents or grandparents were pert of Batistas regime, benefitted from serfdom. They fled so they didn't get put against the wall for their crimes. The same idea holds through South America through the last century--coups against fair elections are coo when we overthrow commies, but when we win a rigged you better not even think about it.
