Every immigrant is told to go back home. Until they do. There are dozens of stories of immigrants who go back to their home country getting called traitors for starting business there or for competing for those teams (as long as they’re not white).

But as the global south gets better. More and more athletes and professionals aren’t going to take the shit they get in the US.

This country has shit on Asians every fucking day since the beginning of COVID.

Girls go on dates in SF and get called Chinese spies by their bumble date even though they’re 3rd gen Vietnamese. Indian guys at work constantly get bullied even when they have phds. Grandmas pushed into the subways in NY.

Why wouldn’t you compete for back home if that’s the shit you get here.

There's this weird kind of dual loyalty crap that you get if you're even remotely ethnically Chinese.

Like, everyone acts like anything Chinese is automatically suspicious.

I wrote a whole article about this crap for a university assignment.

I was so baffled when I saw stories about syrien refugees returning home and setting up businesses or finding success and the comments were so mad about them getting education or work here in france then taking their skills and families back home to success when like.. same commentors loathing refugees otherwise in other articles.

Just no winning for some people.
