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.

It seems like crab mentality at work. Pulling down those that succeed the most.

Asian Americans are top performers, both in academics and income:

It's really not just academia where this occurs. In Hollywood and in everyday life, it seems to be acceptable for people to make fun of/mock Asian cultures, whereas they wouldn't (or they would think twice about it) do the same with most other minorities. I think the problem is that there's no repercussions to shit talking and stereotyping people who generally avoid trouble. What will it take for people to respect Asian Americans the same way that other minorities are respected?

Better to be part of mainstream society.
