Are blacks the most oppressed minority in the US? I'd say no. That title belongs to Native Americans. Blacks are by no means powerless. They wield considerable power in popular culture, sports, politics, etc. And yet it's all #BLM while the core issue—police reform—got sidelined.
It's as if only blacks have historical grievances and face oppression.The transcontinental railway was built on the corpses of Chinese workers, and yet white workers successfully lobbied the Congress to pass the Chinese Exclusion Act in 1882.
Additionally, Asians, despite our reputation of being high achievers and earning the highest income in contemporary America, remain marginalized in practically every field, and our issues hardly ever get talked about. Stop turning everything into #BLM. Just stop!
