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.

      Cool. This is like how I’m also antisemitic for being a Jew who doesn’t support Israel.

      Of course, a lot of people (maybe you) don’t consider Jews to be white. Elon sure doesn’t. So maybe I’m not racist against myself?

        I mean I’m sure you agree that being against the state of Israel or being antizionist doesn’t make you antisemitic.

        I don’t particularly know or care if the jewish people are “white” or not. Not really my place to say anyways I suppose.

          I also agree that white men have been responsible for more problems in the U.S. than any other group of people. Like all but one president.

          If you don’t know who is or is not white, how can you think it is even possible to be racist against white people?

            Traditionally racism that is based on statistics and aggregate numbers still counts. If someone were to say that black people are on average responsible for [insert problem here], even if it were true, that’s generally considered racist.

            And, that’s a bit silly. I can call someone doing racist black caricatures racist against black people without knowing if some particular country’s population is generally considered to be black.

            how can you think it is even possible to be racist against white people?

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

            That’s what racism is.

        False analogy, no one said anyone was racist against white people for saying they don’t support the US.

        If you’re agreeing with someone who literally maligned a race, you are racist too. Period.

          Yes, again, I know you think accepting facts is racist, but I’m not going to lie to myself about factual statements.

          Unless you can tell me which group of people is a bigger threat. Feel free to use crime data.
