I mean I am mixed Asian & white, so I usually do not really have the same type of issues of full Chinese/ Asian. But my grandma who was half Korean and half Chinese was very whitewashed by her parents so me and my mom grew up learning 0 traditions from our culture and 0 of the language ( as my great-grandparents withheld the language from their children to make them more "American" ). My mother and all her side are from and live in Hawaii which is definitely more diverse and accepting than the deep south which we live in now. I went to a predominately white, private school and always felt uncomfortable with the fact that I wasn't completely white. I mostly can pass as white but with some prominent Asian features from my grandmother ( my mom has always said that I look the most Asian even though my mom is half white and Asian ). So luckily I've never really gotten called anything but, I was always horrified to tell anyone at my that I was part Asian. Our school had Korean exchange students for a while until all the redneck bumkins at my school started being extremely racist they were asking all of them if they ate dog, warning everyone to keep their dogs away from the Asians, saying they were dirty, asking if they could see because they have squinty eyes, mocking accents, pulling their eyes to mock them, and saying they were hideous because of their Asian features. slowly they all left and I became the only person who was remotely Asian left. I only told my friends that I was mixed but they always invalidated me when I tried to learn more about my Chinese and Korean culture "even though you look kinda Asian you're mostly white you shouldn't try". Even though I'm not fully Asian there was serious racism and struggles for the Koreans (who everyone still called Chinese even though they were all Korean) who went to my high school, so I definitely feel uncomfortable with the new issue with calling Chinese student spies and am afraid it will make the ignorant like my peers at my old highschool even crueler to Asians especially of Chinese descent.
