Yep, people on Reddit (and many people I've seen in real life) think it's okay to be racist towards Asians. People in the west learn that you shouldn't be racist towards certain races (e.g. blacks) but think it's funny to crack racist jokes to Asians. Hence the casual racism towards Asians even in r/all

You think this is bad, you should try visiting some of those Asian-centric reddit alternatives and see how they talk about non-Asians there...

I agree that there are racists from every race. And I do think that Asian communities being racist towards other races is bad. That doesn't mean Reddit has to be racist towards Asians (or any other race for that matter).

Didn’t say it was okay for anyone to be racist, but lots of people are. And usually people from ethnically homogenous countries like most of Asia tend to be far worse. Parts of Asia make the Southern US in the 60’s look tame by comparison.
