I& #39;m happy there is a lot of by Asians over the Asian cop in Minneapolis.

But Asian American race discourse is so inadequate, all we can say about him is & #39;model minority!& #39;

It& #39;s just not helpful.

Also, the usual accusations that "East Asians" are "just as bad" as whites.

First, just b/c the cop is light-skinned and looks like a total dork, does not mean he& #39;s "East Asian." Weird racialism there.

Second, Asian anti-blackness is not the motivating force within police.

The discussion of Asian anti-blackness is needed, AS IS a discussion of the huge number of anti-Asian hate crimes by black people. I know it& #39;s not PC or comfortable, but it& #39;s real.

This incident is about white supremacy in police departments all around the country.

It& #39;s too easy for us to just throw every incident into the existing discussions around & #39;model minority& #39; and & #39;Asian anti-blackness& #39; but that doesn& #39;t mean it makes any sense.
