    Why do so many Asian-Americans in this country ally themselves with White Nationalists? I don’t get this country sometimes

      Probably because having Asian heritage does not make one immune from being racist? Certainly there are various Asian supremacist movements within Asia.

      Within the US, it is still just a matter of desiring a race-based hierarchy - they sure as hell don’t want equality, nor to be at the bottom along with everyone White Nationalists seek to oppress, so though they know that as a minority they won’t ever be at the top of such a hierarchy, they hope to end up in second place.

      They think they’ll be accepted. Same way there were nazi Jews. Some people think they’ll get ahead if they align themselves with these type of fascists and they don’t realize that they’re gonna be the first ones to go the way of Ernst Rohm.

        We have to do a better job of convincing them that they’re just being useful idiots, I don’t know why people like Andy Ngo haven’t realized it yet, I’m certain he’s dealt with a lot of racism by now from these Nazis he defends

        Someone must be paying him a lot of money
