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
Vijay Prashad writes about this in his really accessible but critically rich book Everybody Was Kung Fu Fighting.
This looks interesting thank you!
