There's a term called "White Left" (白左) which originated among US immigrants from mainland China.
The White Left believes that State-sponsored programs are the best way to fix social ills, but they've never experienced what the mainland Chinese dub "the iron fist of socialism".

Now the whole Left in Anglosphere is shouting #BlackLivesMatter w/o really understanding the complex historical factors that caused America's racial tensions. Thus police brutality got turned into a racism issue. Which is not to say there's no racial dimension to it, but still.
Meanwhile, China has been force-assimilating the Uyghurs in Xinjiang, and yet the White Left doesn't particularly care for that issue. There are also numerous cases of black people beating up ethnic Chinese for COVID19, but the White Left is ignorant about them. #AsianLivesMatter
