    people see a Chinese person and look for the worst faith interpretation but then turn around and (correctly) demand white people always give us grace when theres a cultural confusion. like how everyone was correctly making fun of white people for getting mad at jamie fox for using a common black expression last week, but people cant even think that there could be something they dont understand about people on the other side of the world. im banging my head against the wall. i just want solidarity yall. angery and its alway the people living in the imperial core too. like your government lies to YOU about YOUR history maybe just maybe they could lie to you about other people.

      Yeah I never even heard about people getting mad at Jamie Fox but I’m part Jewish and his tweet didn’t sound antisemitic to me

      In fact shit like this distracting from actual antisemitism being on the rise, including literal fucking nazis being funded by our government, really pisses me off and I really don’t appreciate how they keep trying to drive this wedge between black people and jewish people as well as the way they use sinophobia and asians model minority status to further divide the people

      I can’t help feel like there a real effort on behalf of the ruling class to keep us all divided to distract us from our common enemies

        YES! especially since we have had solidarity many times in the past. I love my Asian and Jewish and other minority comrades so much it hurts. Also I didnt even see actual notable jewish people trying to call Jamie Fox antisemitic it was just non jewish white nonsense.

        That’s what gets me about “any criticism of Tel Aviv is antisemitic”. agony-shivering israel-cool

        I’m part Jewish

        I’m genuinely curious, how? I thought being Jewish depended on if your mother was Jewish. Just trying to learn more about other cultures.
