Unfortunate but required edit when referring to that particular "hood".
It's getting more and more rips, tears, and cracks every time it's used. Let them keep using it until it wears out completely.

I am sick to death of race sick sick sick of it. Yeah you want to think your problems are because you have a tan, go right ahead “Afican Americans” but your hate is eating you alive and your culture breeds more of it.
My kid’s school wanted me to fill out a form indicating his race and I refused. They called me and wanted me to pick one over the phone and I refused and told them it was inane. They called him to the office, looked at him, checked some box and let him go.
RACE IS AN INVALID DENOMINATOR FOR ANYTHING.
Well you know what? My parents and grandparents didn’t own slaves either. They came to America after 3 years in a Japanese concentration camp. I AM INNOCENT AND REFUSE TO PAY ANY PRICE
Thanks for your observation on racism and political affiliation of minorities, especially on anti-Chinese racism.
To start, I think you may be underestimating the Jewish urge for social justice which motivates many Jews to gravitate to the Dems, whose rhetoric proclaims them to be on the side of the angels on this issue and the GOP as reactionary servants of the devil. It’s been drummed into the Jews for years that the Dems position on social justice issues protects them as a minority.
The underlying issue of course is their fear and distrust of the ‘common herd’ of Christians who have a past history of anti-Jewish discrimination, persecution and violence.
On the other hand, the Chinese have a long and traditional respect for ancestors, an ethos which sometimes surfaces as a cultural bias toward their ancestral homeland as superior to the barbarians outside their race and culture. That, rather than the current government or military posture of China, may be a reason some are ‘leery’ to use your words.
That may make Chinese-Americans suspect in the eyes of Americans of other races as Americans are famous for having little knowledge or appreciation for their previous cultures. After all, most of our ancestors were dissidents from those cultures and that’s why we’re here.
Or is that my own racism disguised as intellectual argument?
I guess what I’m trying to say is that all races generally have reasons (which are rational to them) for their cultural biases toward their own race. This cultural bias is usually translated as ‘racism.’ when turned against the “other” via actions or words.
The “other” looks different, dresses different, eats different and prays to a different God. For some, those things that make up a different cultural identity are potentially dangerous and certainly not ‘natural’ in the context of the ethos of the majority.
I venture that every race has disparaging words for the ‘other’ whether it be another country or race. It seems to be an everlasting part of what makes us humans operate within our own cultural identities.
Me, I’m a Texan, and everyone knows I hate anyone who isn’t one of God’s truly chosen people. YeeHAW!
Gotta admit, these days that question is begging to be answered.

Note to the Mayor:
It worked so well in Zimbabwe-—surely you can force it to work in DC.
It’s been persuasively argued that the phrase “in like Flynn” originated as a reference to the actor Errol Flynn ... and he was Australian, born in Tasmania.
DEvolution in action.
