Like one greyed out poster said, no one cares - about Asian Americans in the U.S. There is likely no other minority group where if something like this were occuring against them, that it would just be accepted. Hell, it wouldn't even be up for debate. Yet with Asians, here we are. No one being fired or cancelled, no action being taken, no one going to bat for Asians in this country like they would've if it were an African American, Mexican, or other minority group.

My pet theory is that a lot of "identity politics"-type stories are really about punching up vs. punching down. The success, overall, of Asian-Americans means discrimination against them at least does not feel like punching down, and therefore doesn't attract much attention.

(Our test scores are also better.)
