yeah, basically. only exception I've met is a childhood friend who did too much weed to give a shit and became a nurse. I got him to read Lenin.
My experience is a bit more mixed. And really in the end I think it just depends on how much propaganda we've been exposed to and whether or not we are open to seeking information that disproves that propaganda.
My parents are immigrants but theyve fully drunk the kool aid. America is their safe space since materially their lives are so much better in the US than in Bangladesh.
They also hold a lot of racist western views. They really are into the whole third world first world distinction. My dad even tried to both sides Isntreal and Palestine.
They're cowards, but how much can I blame them/hold them responsible?
I wish my parents moved to China blegh.
they are not AS bad as white liberals but the bar is in the deepest pit of hell.
the ones who are in tech are the most insufferable, at least, i'm most proximate to them and larger ethnic groups are well represented among techfolk. honestly i have the most issue with techbros, they seem to buy the techno-utopia stuff while others seem to be committed with it in a pragmatic way
99% of my experiences are from Asian (east, Southeast, South, West) and black office workers raised in London or currently working in Silicon Valley tech
Well that's why I'm trying to find out experiences from other walks of life
Most of the ones I've met weren't but I've encountered a few self-identified "politically incorrect" types during my time in university.
Maybe I'm just not old enough yet, but they seem into the racist 'edgy humor' shit, not outright white supremacy...yet.
Others have given good answers about the effects of False Consciousness on minority members of the Labour Aristocracy (or PMC, if we absolutely must.)
But I think Fanon makes some great points in Black Skin, White Masks about how minorities in privileged positions often develop a separate ideological superstructure of natural inferiority that maintains their oppression as part of the imperialist framework.
I posit that in imperial core countries, this can interact with the false consciousness of the Labour Aristocracy in a positive feedback loop, the self justification of the LA reinforcing that countries and cultures without dominant LA ideological structures are inherently inferior and in turn, that the minority has "risen above" this.
tl;dr If you hate yourself, then anything good that happens to you must be white institutions.
The solution of course is radical solidarity across the working class while acknowledging that even in the imperial core, anti (neo)colonial struggle must be waged. Easy to say, hard to do.
