Part of the problem is Asians don’t vote as a block, so who will protect them? If for a group of people, votes are split, who will look out for their needs?

Demanding that people sort themselves into race-exclusive voting blocks doesn't seem like an effective way to fight racism.

So should black people stop organizing along lines of race, because that doesn't seem like an effective way to fight racism? That just means less black representation.

Yes. We shouldn't strap on blinders and ignore race, of course. But the activists who go around encouraging people to identify as Black first and individuals second, I think are toxic and ineffective.
