This was a great post!

Yes, whiteness loves Asian Americans (especially lighter skinned ones), but that love is entirely conditional, on whether or not Asians tow the party line of white supremacy. Don’t be “too” smart. Be grateful. Don’t talk back, or otherwise complain, about their treatment here.

And being smart won’t save Asian people from being vilified, because just as white supremacy loves to imply that Latines, and Blacks should be disregarded because they want to believe we’re not very bright, they will hate Asian Americans for being too smart, claiming they have too much of an advantage over white people. White supremacy will feel about Asians however it’s most convenient.
