There's almost 0 state efforts to preserve the cultural identities of immigrants of any kind

When people celebrate "diversity" in the West, it's just eating shawarma, drinking boba, watching Anime, listening to kpop, and eating at an Ethiopian restaurant. Pure commodification and consumerism masquerading as celebration and promotion of foreign cultures

Or you'll have people fetishizing about spicy latinas, lightskins, and Asians like they're fucking Pokemon cards

    I might've agreed with some of your points here, but...

    We should also be wary of tiktok which has been described by some Chinese government people as a tool to be used on the west.

    Why do you think that this isn't "home-grown" American/Western racial essentialism?
