Having fled China because of political persecution or for better economic opportunities, many undocumented Chinese men reject the message they're a threat to the U.S.

Summary

Undocumented Chinese men are alarmed by Trump’s plan to prioritize their deportation, citing baseless national security concerns about “military-age” immigrants.

Many fled political persecution or economic hardship and reject claims of being a threat.

Legal experts warn of racial profiling and expanded ICE raids, urging immigrants to know their rights. Deportation fears grow as China cooperates in repatriation efforts.

Chinese immigrants express anxiety over family separations and harsh consequences if returned, emphasizing they seek safety and stability, not harm.

Critics call Trump’s policies cruel and unjustified.

    If you agree with something that is true, you’re a racist? What?

    Is “black people are far more likely than anyone else to get sickle cell anemia” racist? Because it is a sweeping generalization.

    Or, if you want to go back to white people and crime, how about- “69.9% of arrested criminals in 2019 were white?” I have to disagree with that fact or I’m a racist? I have to deny reality if I don’t want to be a racist? That’s really what you think?

      “All strawberries are fruits” does not imply “all fruits are strawberries” .

      Saying “white people are a threat” is not the same as saying “these people who are a threat are white”.

      The former is the statement you agreed with, and now you’re desperately trying to paint it as the latter.

      It’s not. You’re rationalizing racism.

        I’m doing no such thing. This is what you said:

        If you make or agree with sweeping generalizations about a race, you are racist.

        Not all black people get sickle cell anemia and not all people who get sickle cell anemia are black, so (and I’ll even revise it to make it more general) “black people are at risk for sickle cell anemia” is a sweeping generalization. Therefore, if you agree with it, you’re racist. Based on your own claim.
