don't care about alison roman in any way but I'm just gonna say it: lots of people are trying to make it about anti-asian racism and... I think it's a stretch. being disproportionately accused of selling out is not, like, a thing we're targeted with or actually suffer from
also it's pretty obvious that her 'please to' comment is a russian ESL joke, both from her posting history and the fact that white people making fun of asians do not say 'please to', they swap Rs and Ls and talk in (what they think is) a comical tonal way
I actually think most people making this anti-asian argument sense, deep down, that it isn't really solid — which is why so many of them are taking the additional step of obfuscating 'anti-asian' under 'woc'. the pattern they're trying to establish works better if they blur it
to be clear I think plenty of things are racist, if not almost everything, but racism always has patterns, precedents and recurring dynamics that are specific to the groups involved — it's what helps you identify it
the good thing is we live in a utopia where you can dislike an individual without having to come up with a political case against them
