Racist dog whistle. How do you benefit from racism?

The person you replied to said it was good to see a good representation of Asian people in government, it reflects to an extent the makeup of the UK.

I’m not a troll, I can be a lot more ascerbic than that .

I asked a genuine question, maybe I’m unaware as to any underlying MO 38943 has got.

How do you translate their comment?

Did you read what he said? Him insinuating that other minorities are not as "exemplary" as Asians in the UK and it's a racist dog whistle used by right-wing guys to say that minority ran cities in the US are worse (which is not true) and him repeating the same talking points is enforcing such racist tropes. What does one benefit from spreading false racial stereotypes and tropes? That was my question.

“UK” was the noun being modified, not “Asian”

(As you can tell by the sentence ending in “countries”, rather than “people” or “races”.)

I’m lost to what you’re getting at here, would you care to explain to a simpleton.
