1. I’m not going to speculate on James’ motives but will point out that the optics of a white American telling a non-white American (born here) to leave the US if they “don’t like it” here is shit. It’s also lazy af. https://twitter.com/C_Kavanagh/status/1302344402006806529

2. Whatever is meant by it the notion of telling non-whites to “go back where you came from” has a long history that I can’t imagine anyone could claim to be unaware of today.

3. Frankly, it’s Americans like this that make me wish I could self-deport but that wouldn’t put me in a better position as there are people in Japan who wouldn’t accept me as a Westernized Nikkei (Japanese diaspora person) or a Japanese-Okinawan ハーフ (hāfu).

4. Folks, this is my opinion. I’m not here to debate it. People telling me that I don’t have the ability to comprehend the tweet I’m commenting on will be muted or blocked.
