Is the message we want to send to Asian & Black communities: "It's okay to partner with a violent white racist & anyone who criticizes that is a bad person"? Everyone involved in this article should feel ashamed for absolving Kellie Chauvin & minimizing George Floyd's death. 1/ 
If you're POC & elect to partner with a white person, regardless of gender, you are burdened with the fact that your partner is racist by default & you will have to push them out of it—otherwise they will suck you into their racism & use you to shield them from accountability. 2/
We know 63% of white men & 53% of white women voted for Trump. So why should Chauvin, a white male cop with a history of 17 prior complaints & another fatal shooting, get the benefit of the doubt that he showed no prior signs to his wife Kellie that he was violently racist? 3/
There's no excuse for protecting complicit Asians from accountability, especially when the excuse is whataboutisms & punching down on a marginalized group like AM to shift blame. The AsAm community deserves better than this tired, racist excuse, & the Black community does too. 4/
The ideologies in this article are better suited to a site like 4chan, but what makes it more dangerous is it's published by a mainstream outlet, NBC. Yet NBC has a history of being anti-Black & anti-Asian, & it seems @NBCAsianAmerica is no exception. 5/5
