Anti-Asian Sentiment - Woke Concern About anti-Espionage v. Real Discrimination

[JBG]

The Justice Department is getting ready to scale back Justice Department activity aimed at Chinese government espionage, see Justice Dept. Is Set to Modify Trump-Era Program Aimed at Fighting Chinese Threats (link in headline), excerpt:

Critics said the China Initiative unfairly targeted Asian professors and contributed to a rising tide of anti-Asian sentiment.

The Justice Department will soon announce changes to the China Initiative, a Trump-era effort to combat Chinese national security threats, after civil rights proponents, business groups and universities told the Biden administration that the program had fostered suspicion of Asian professors working in the United States, chilled scientific research and contributed to a rising tide of anti-Asian sentiment, according to people briefed on the matter.

Let's be clear; this is aimed at appearing the Government of the People's Republic of China. Meanwhile, Asian-American citizens, well, they are at the "back of the bus" and the Asians, while not engaging in the freewheeling destruction of public property, are beginning to protest effectually.

‘You Have to Give Us Respect’: How Asian Americans Fueled the San Francisco Recall about the recent recall of three Board of Education members. Link in headline, excerpt:

SAN FRANCISCO — As Election Day approached, a flurry of messages flashed across the phones of San Francisco’s Chinese American community. “Remember to vote,” said one message in Chinese from a campaign organizer, Selena Chu. “And throw out the commissioners who are discriminating against us and disrespecting our community.”

The lopsided victory in a recall election on Tuesday that ousted three members of the San Francisco school board shook the city’s liberal establishment and was a resounding alarm of parental anger over the way the public school system handled the coronavirus pandemic....

For many Asian Americans in the city, especially the large Chinese American community, the results were an affirmation of the group’s voting power, coming with a high degree of organizing, turnout and intensity not seen in many years.

This is where "back of the bus" come in. At the Supreme Court level,The Supreme Court on Monday agreed to review Students for Fair Admissions v. President and Fellows of Harvard College, a case challenging the use of race in admissions at the Ivy League institution. It will also hear a similar case against the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. This litigation highlights a number of long-standing flaws in the “diversity” rationale for racial preferences embraced by previous court decisions and adopted by colleges around the country (link to source).
The anti-Asian sentiment that matters is the effort to suppress a successful racial minority in the U.S. Instead, the Biden Administration focuses its efforts at appeasing an enemy government, using woke rhetoric to justify its actions.

A certain ethnicity has long followed the adage that the "squeaky wheel gets the grease/oil."

And it has certainly paid off.

It now seems that Asians are beginning to realize the importance of that adage, too.

In San Francisco, the woke board of education wanted to limit Asian enrollment in outstanding schools to make room for others. Asian voters have just helped oust some board members, who -- of course -- indirectly accused those Asians of being seduced by "White supremacy" ideas.

Even worse, an ousted Board member accused the Asian-Americans of being "white supremacists."
