Anti-Asian Leftists fuel the racism they oppose.
The End of Affirmative Action: A Victory for Equality
The U.S. Supreme Court recently
However, the celebration of this victory has been marred by the woke left’s targeting of Asian Americans who supported the ruling. They have subjected them to racially charged rhetoric and baseless accusations. Media outlets like NBC, CBC, and
By ridiculing Asian Americans as “pawns,” “tools,” and people who “carry water” for white supremacists, or as being radicalized by ”the promise of proximity to whiteness and power,” the woke leftists treat Asian Americans as second-class citizens and inferior human beings who have no agency, cannot think independently, and do not act on our own free will. How is this woke racism any different from white supremacy, which believes that white people are superior to other racial groups and should lord over them?
The Left’s Historical Ignorance
The woke left’s anti-Asian rhetoric also reveals their historical ignorance. They should have read Justice Clarence Thomas’s concurring opinion in the Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard and Students for Fair Admissions v. UNC cases. In his opinion, Justice Thomas highlighted the discrimination faced by Asian Americans throughout history and their contributions to the fight against racial inequality. He emphasized that Asian Americans have never been beneficiaries of historical racial advantages and have faced similar discriminatory laws as black Americans.
Asian Americans have a long history of fighting for equality and civil rights. Chinese immigrants fought in the U.S. Civil War to end slavery. Asian American activists challenged discriminatory laws and fought for their rights in landmark cases. They have always stood against racial discrimination and defended the constitutional rights of all Americans.
The woke left’s anti-Asian bigotry reflects their panic over the fact that their radical policies have alienated many racial minorities. Instead of addressing policy deficiencies, they denounce any minority who thinks differently as “white supremacists.” This irony was captured in a viral tweet that read, ”White Supremacy is more diverse than Harvard.”
Asian Americans will not be intimidated by woke racism. Our resolve to advocate for equality and oppose racial discrimination has only grown stronger. As Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in the majority opinion in SFFA v. Harvard and SFFA v. UNC, “Eliminating racial discrimination means eliminating all of it.”
