Comment on Are Asian Americans in the US more likely or less likely to get harassed by law enforcement compared to other racial groups?

My friend is Thai and she gets harassed by law enforcement all the time because racist fucks assume she’s Mexican. There was also a famous case a while back where an Indian American living in Texas was also targeted because some racist fucks thought they were Mexican.

Racism is awful in all forms and usually perpetrated by dumb as rocks assholes who are happy to target anyone who isn’t white.

As an aside to this, I knew a girl when I was in school whose mother was Japanese and father was German.

She got hassled a LOT… because the police kept thinking she was too far from the reservation.

  Yep.
  
  Aboriginals/Native Americans get a lot of shit. It’s incredibly depressing.

There is no rule that says racists have to be smart, logical, or consistent.

  This is because racism is dumb, illogical, and inconsistent.
