“When did racism against white (and Asian) people become OK?”
It is remarkable that a commercial explicitly advocating equal treatment under the law would somehow be seen as racial provocation, but welcome to 2022.
The underlying claims made in the commercial are true. Biden did develop a program during COVID to help restaurants that excluded all white male restaurant owners. White people really were de-prioritized for lifesaving COVID vaccines and treatments in a way that could not be justified by racial/ethnic biological susceptibility. The administration did extend $5 billion in aid to nonwhite farmers, which was blocked by a federal judge as an unconstitutional violation of equal protection under law.
“Joe Biden and Left-Wing officials are engaged in widespread racial discrimination against White and Asian Americans.” It pointed out, correctly, that Biden issued an executive order on racial “equity” as a central U.S. government policy, and that such “equity” policies inevitably discriminate against whites and Asian-Americans. This is a particularly sensitive subject for many Asian-Americans, as the Supreme Court currently is hearing a case about anti-Asian discrimination at Harvard.
Closer to home for California’s Asian-Americans, a merit-based admissions system for San Francisco’s elite Lowell Public High School was eliminated in 2020 in favor of a lottery system that discriminated against qualified Asian-American students.

The most dangerous thing is forgetting that every era had people it was ok to hate, and history rarely treats irrational hatred well. It's been ok to hate the Irish, the blacks, Italians, Jews, gays, gypsies, the list is endless.
Some people might go "oh, good now it's the whites turn!" But that's deeply ignorant of...everything outside of one narrow worldview.

Well said.
Same applies to any other race or skin color.
