Farmland like in oklahoma to grow weed?

it, on paper, doesn't apply to all Asians, but irl, it applys to all Asians.

as my family is Chinese, it's complicated. my way back extended family left China for a reason. it sucks there.

China went through an industrial revolution in like 1 month because they didn't care about the cost of the environment, and are complacent with slave labor, and have a lot of resources. capitalistic countries obviously keyed on that and that's why some of our goods are so inexpensive.

fast forward to a bunch of Chinese Nationals getting rich and buying stuff up in other countries, and promising work to poor areas.

now, sure, some of those folks have established businesses and land here in the u.s. But some (mostly white) person had to sell property to them, and are also the ones complaining about the Chinese. and here we are. I'm in the camp that we shouldn't let foreigners buy property here. but capitalism.

it's not just COVID. it's "cheap products from China" aka "China taking our jobs", China imperialism, and the usual Asian stereotypes. attacks on Asians have been a thing long before COVID, although I'm not disputing that covid didnt help things along/give "another reason".

politicians actually just need votes.

I'm not educated on this, but was it the same people?

i believe all the folks who were involved in Russia and qatar getting the wc are fired/indicted?
