   We have ‘East Asian supremacists’ now? Is that just a fancy term for Islamophobia + racism in the southeast Asian context??

     @2dogphish I don’t think far right extremism is a US only or even U.S. originated thing. Like evangelical Christianity, we have U.S. adjacent things that have take their own forms elsewhere and there are many other global factors from other parts of the world (we get a ton of evangelical BS from Australia and more Chinese ethnic state BS from China)

     @skinnylatte Oh no, no, no, no, no…
     Breaks my heart knowing any part of SE Asia (or the world really) might be tangled up in any of this U.S. branded hatred.

     @2dogphish Singapore refuses to address its problem of Chinese racism so I feel like this is the expected next step here, sadly

     @skinnylatte I agree and understand, it’s everywhere. But having lived in Thailand and traveled a fair bit in SE Asia, including Singapore, just hurts extra to see it has spread there? But I’m not naïve, even in this horror, the U.S. is not unique.
