    Race is bullshit but genetics are a thing. The problem is, the science behind genetics can get really calipery really quick if left unchecked. People of certain ethnic or geographic backgrounds tend to be more or less susceptible to different ailments. For instance, Sickle Cell Disease is much more common among people who originate from Sub-Saharan Africa than it is for most other populations.

    Fascists look at scientific discoveries like this and see a doorway to developing white-supremacist pathogens. Then imperial core normies project it onto their state adversaries because no matter how evil the US is, the enemy must be worse.

    With regards to the meme: I think it's really funny that these people think a racially segregated Chinese-American military division would turn out to be America's final line of defense, considering the US's historical treatment of Chinese laborers or it's contemporary climate of suspicion and fetishization. We're already purging Chinese people from research positions in universities because of a general paranoia about espionage and they think we're going to turn around and give them all the tanks and F-35s. The whole fantasy is the product of an exceptionally melted cape-brain.
