      It’s very reminiscent of the immigrant experience in America. New emerging immigrant groups in America cause the prior group to suddenly be accepted and considered “white” so that they can have a turn oppressing newcomers. It’s all fueled by the capitalist to prevent class solidarity and to divide us.

        True, though notably this was not extended to Asian Americans, which instead have been ideologically configured as eternal foreigners tied to the countries of their heritage who cannot be assimilated (see: Japanese internment and Covid hate crimes against people presumed to be Chinese American)

          I remember reading in a history textbook that Europeans considered Asians "smart but docile," which may explain this pattern. Asians are the "least likely" to get "uppity" and instead play within the system that's imposed on them.

          If you know anything about Asian history (eg. Alexander in India, Korean War, Vietnam), you know this is ridiculous. Yet these are the stereotypes that get pushed around.

            Interestingly enough, the Bruce lee 30 for 30 documentary explores the toxic idea of Asians being depicted as the “model minority” which is used to demonize African Americans, on top of that they’re constantly emasculated in the media

          They’re used sometimes as a “model minority” to shame African Americans for not doing as well financially. Look at how chuds worship “rooftop Koreans”. They’re never accepted but they’re constantly used as tools to divide marginalized groups

      At the top are gays and lesbians. They’ve been known for a while and are generally accepted in modern day society.

      Damn I wish.

      There is a lot to be said about the transphobia all cis people perpetuate, the biphobia not-bi people perpetuate and internalized transphobia trans people direct against others. But calling this a "hierarchy" is cringe and not how it works. Lesbians and gays don't oppress all the other BT people, geez. "Binary" trans people don't oppress nonbinary people.

      Why is the comment so upvoted, comrades, please.

          There's just no fucking "hierarchy" lmao. Again, that's bullshit and not how it works. You can't seriously be concerned about a "fragmented" LGBT community and then say that type of bs. "Lesbians and gays perpetuate biphobia" doesn't mean "lesbians and gays are above bi people in a hierarchy". "Some binary trans people perpetuate transphobia" doesn't mean "Binary trans people are above nonbinary people in a hierarchy ". That's not how "hierarchies" work or mean.

          I am once again, asking Chapo to read better and stop upvoting cringe.
