As an Asian American (Chinese Ancestry), I rarely have interactions with law enforcement, except that one school fight which I got arrested because I defended myself against a bully, which I still resent them for (both the law enforcement and school administration). This in a blue city btw. While the cops never physically done anything like torture or anything, getting held at the police station for a few hours felt like psychological torture. I was just wondering, would my experience have been worse if I were some other race? (I mean like: if I were black, would I have gotten beaten by the cops?)
And also, how (in general) are Asian Americans treated compared to other racial groups?
(Asking because, again, I rarely had any interactions with law enforcement, and am just curious)
My friend is Thai and she gets harassed by law enforcement all the time because racist fucks assume she’s Mexican. There was also a famous case a while back where an Indian American living in Texas was also targeted because some racist fucks thought they were Mexican.
Racism is awful in all forms and usually perpetrated by dumb as rocks assholes who are happy to target anyone who isn’t white.
Damn, they literally be like this:
💀
Always has been.
There is no rule that says racists have to be smart, logical, or consistent.
This is because racism is dumb, illogical, and inconsistent.
You don’t say! 😱
As an aside to this, I knew a girl when I was in school whose mother was Japanese and father was German.
She got hassled a LOT… because the police kept thinking she was too far from the reservation.
Yep.
Aboriginals/Native Americans get a lot of shit. It’s incredibly depressing.
