tweets? after all, there s a history going back longer before donald trump got elected. look, i think there s no doubt that donald trump did not invent racism, he did not invent disdiscrimination or bigotry. there s also no doubt in my mind or a lot of america s mind that he peddles to it, promotes it and legitimize it. i think roseanne bar is responsible for her own actions. certainly there s an environment in the united states where you see people getting screamed at for speaking spanishism people getting detained for speaking spanish. people getting arrested for waiting while being black. people getting beaten up for waiting while being black. so, some would like to think it s just a coincidence, i think there is i think there is an empowerment and legitimatization that has happened of bigotry.
china if that rhetoric, which feels like it s purr have aive on both sides of the aisle, might it be alienating to chinese american voters? i have heard that. a lot of taiwanese origins, so i m not sure there is a close association. but one distinctive thing about asian americans as a constituency. they have not relied on politics to get ahead, as many other disadvantaged groupeds have done. african-americans have faced terrible disadvantage in in country. asian americans have certainly faced disdiscrimination. they managed to get ahead in businesses, professions, science, popular culture. look at margaret cho, a woman of great talent, and she has gotten ahead with determination.
