What bothers me is that nobody wants the hear the real answer to this question. The answer exists. There are whole areas of scholarship. But folks don't actually wanna hear the answer.

The most important thing though is that white America is not "cool" with Asians. We need to stop thinking that the ability to get money in white spaces is the same as an absence of white supremacy. American white supremacy manifests in so many different ways. It's not simple.
Every single racial and ethnic group has it's own *unique* experience with American racism. And there are ways we are played against each other that make the answer more complicated. Trying to "compare" does not bring clarity and it also harms solidarity.
What brings clarity is *examining Whiteness*. That is the common factor. All cultures have issues. Violent oppression is not unique to Whiteness. But western white supremacy is a unique manifestation of violent oppression. That is a topic worth asking questions about.
