    It ties my stomach in knots to think of people going through this. It's going to be so fucking bad if the US ever gets into a conflict with China. I mean, tons of Asian people still get shit for the Korean and Vietnam wars, and Muslims have been targets at least since 2001 in this country. Makes me sick.

      Sinophobia is already pretty normalized in online spaces already and in a bunch of irl spaces it's creeping in too

        I brought this up a while ago but I am in a friend group with a few ethnically Chinese people (I think all at least 2nd generation as far as immigration goes) and others of course. Here is a conversation that once happened, the insane reactionary of the group (was 'apolitical' originally but became more unhinged as COVID ragged on if you are wondering why I was friends with them) suggests that we nuke all of China. I respond saying this is ridiculous, I ultimately receive more pushback from everyone in the conversation.

      Not to mention cus of American brainworms, they'll be racist to anyone who "looks" Russian which definitely includes Ukrainians.
