Has anyone said this already?
I think white people are projecting their whiteness onto east asians when they defend east asians over the antiblackness thats so rampant in their culture. They stop being White Lite(tm) when they have to pull the "it's racist to call them racist" card. Then there's pitting asians against black people, and for what? The odds are stacked against the latter but doesn't erase any injustice other marginalized identities face. Being black earning you less favors than any group has always been fact.
And then actual instances of racism towards asians goes unchecked. COVID did not magically make people hate asians more, it gave them a justification to act bolder. When a white person or non-asian gets called out for fetishizing or stereotyping an entire group as feminine, they get defensive all of a sudden or try to deny it.
