This seems wild to me. So they seem some guy using chopsticks and they’re like “git him, oh wait hold on…raw fish: Japanese, fried rice: Chinese. Wait what did Ruth say about noodles… Flat noodle, Chinese foodle, noodles in broth or round, go get that clown.”
The absurdity of racism is all the more exposed when what an arbitrary social construct it is is highlighted. Throw the Japanese-Americans in internment camps and forbid them from serving the military with white people - but praise Chinese-Americans as allies against Imperialism™ and let them serve as officers in non-segregated units with white folk.
I mean, don’t get me wrong, it’s great that WW2-era white America got over its anti-Chinese racism for ten seconds, but it would have been a nice bonus had it not been just another extension of racism’s arbitrary nature.

Lol you’d be surprised. Sometimes it doesn’t even come from a bad place.
My ex (ages ago) wanted to understand and support my culture better, so she went out and watched Fast and the Furious Tokyo Drift.
Likkeeeee I appreciate the effort but bruuuhh I’m Filipino. Wtf.
Some people just grow up thinking “Asian is Asian”.
That’s almost impressive. Multi-level fuck-up.
And uh Tokyo Drift? Really?
