Why do so many Asian-Americans in this country ally themselves with White Nationalists? I don’t get this country sometimes
Probably because having Asian heritage does not make one immune from being racist? Certainly there are various Asian supremacist movements within Asia.

They think they’ll be accepted. Same way there were nazi Jews. Some people think they’ll get ahead if they align themselves with these type of fascists and they don’t realize that they’re gonna be the first ones to go the way of Ernst Rohm.
We have to do a better job of convincing them that they’re just being useful idiots, I don’t know why people like Andy Ngo haven’t realized it yet, I’m certain he’s dealt with a lot of racism by now from these Nazis he defends
