Frankly, I've never seen Asian American Twitter agree about anything as much as they agree about hating this op-ed by @andrewyang. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/04/01/andrew-yang-coronavirus-discrimination/
One major failing of this piece was that it praises Japanese American military service for showing patriotism during WWII, but declines to mention that the reward for that patriotism was to be stripped of citizenship and property and incarcerated.
If you want to learn more about this, I highly recommend @scottkurashige's book: https://www.amazon.com/Shifting-Grounds-Race-Americans-Multiethnic-ebook/dp/B00EM351GE/ref=sr_1_2?crid=2RFBF2GRRNQAJ&dchild=1&keywords=shifting+grounds&qid=1585859794&s=books&sprefix=shifting+grounds%2Caps%2C237&sr=1-2/
There's a phrase in that book that stuck with me. It describes Japanese Americans during WWII but it could be about Asian Americans today: "...a traumatic search for an identity to fit the increasingly narrowed parameters of Americanism"
