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.

    You seem to have a poor memory:

    Traditionally racism that is based on statistics and aggregate numbers still counts.

    Then I asked you what makes it traditional and you said:

    The natural evolution of the English language as determined by multiple societies. I’m using the most common definition of racism that I know.

    So let’s see some evidence of this natural evolution based on statistics and aggregate numbers.

      Why yes I do have a memory disorder, thanks for reminding me. I must’ve forgotten.

      But, I think you’re confused about what I’m saying there. I’m not saying that the evolution of language is “based on statistics and aggregate numbers”, and I don’t see how it could be interpreted that way. I’m saying that language naturally evolves, and that the definition of racism that I see most commonly has evolved into including negative statements about a race based on factual statistics. For example, “80% of [insert race here] commits [insert type of crime here]”. Even if it were true, that would be considered racist. If you don’t agree, ok, I’ll use your definition.

      Anyways, I’m not sure why I’m arguing about this. You literally agreed with a comment calling an entire race of people troglodytes who the op was ashamed to share their genetics with. I’m pretty sure it was satire. So. Yeah, idk what else to say here

        Facts aren’t racist, they’re facts. “80% of ___ commits ___ crime” is not racist if it’s true.

        And, again, please do show me evidence of a definition of racism that includes true statements.

          Ok, then you’re not racist for pointing out that white people are responsible for some horrible things. You would still be racist for calling them troglodytes though.
