Anti-Asian bigotry is tolerated, if not celebrated, among elements of the black community, most notably from then-councilman and former mayor Marion Barry:

>We’ve got to do something about these Asians coming in, opening up businesses, those dirty shops...They ought to go.

You mean the same way it’s tolerated, encouraged, and celebrated by the Asian community? Why is it an issue when black people do it, but when Asians have done it since the dawn of time it’s ok because well you know, it’s an Asian thing. Worry about the mess in your own community before coming for someone else’s.

I don’t see how it’s celebrated in the Asian American community, maybe in other Asian countries it’s def tolerated but certainly not in the US. Asian people, black people , white, Latino- not one group is innocent. It’s also pretty fucking sad that’s it come down to which group is more racist.
