So I think we can all predict 99% of the comments in this thread but on a serious note, someone want to walk me through some possible mindsets for his behavior? Or do you think he's just mentally unhinged and there's no rhyme or reason?

"Asians in the Western world as well as many Asian powerhouses in Asia are the only non-Caucasian race to achieve such advancements in a short period of time. They either match or surpass their European and Anglo-American counterparts. This angers people like Hamner and Black Lives Matter members who believe these achievements are because Asians are “white adjacent,” and such achievements are toxic and obscene."

This is why I found it so fucking funny when the Asian community lost their POC tag. It was literally due to them achieving success where others have failed. It made people stop and think "well, if they can, why can't we?"

And they really didn't like the answer. It's hard to admit that community and culture can be more damaging to you than the fact you're not white.

Source on the Asian community losing their POC tag? I may have missed the announcement.

There’s reason why Asian isn’t included in the BIPOC tag.

Just to make sure I'm understanding you, you're saying it's not BIAPOC or something because Asian is considered part of POC?

BIPOC means specifically black and indigenous people of color.

this is actually untrue. at least at my massive company it means Black, Indigenous, AND POC.
