This is not how anti-racism works.

Notice the inequity.
Look for the policy/practice/assumptions that exacerbate it.
Confront the shit out of it.

That means doing it internally as well, we're raised in a colonial regime so everything is poisoned by racist beliefs. https://twitter.com/Diamond34190647/status/1260664367894286337
In the cast of Bryan Adams' remark.

Asians have, historically, been subject to inequities such as the head tax. They are currently experiencing high levels of racist attacks.

"fucking bat eaters" refers to specific people in a specific place. (thanks @Troyliss)
Does this statement challenge inequity or perpetuate it.

That's how you know if it is a racist or anti-racist statement.

There is no such thing as 'not racist' Donald Trump and your embarrassing uncle go on about being "not racist"
It's got nothing to do with the person's intention or whether or not the stereotype holds or if you didn't see it that way. The statement perpetuates racial inequity.

That formula works for sexism, ableism, gender, etc.

Notice the inequity
does this make it better or worse.
