Racist, me thinks, the judge, is. Murder trial judge for #KyleRittenhouse says— ➡️ “I hope the Asian food isn’t coming on one of those boats from Long Beach Harbor”. 🔥 What a complete joke and circus this #KyleRittenhouseTrial now is.
2) And yes it is RACIST. The boats in the harbor are majority boats from Asia. And he said Asian food - which further connects the Asian boats. It’s racist c’mon.
3) Most Chinese-Americans knows the racist idiomatic slang “Slow boat to China” to mock anything that takes a long time. I’m Asian-American immigrant - I heard this crap all the time. It’s racist. He could have just said the lunch was late.

4) folks — JUST BECAUSE YOU DIDN’T KNOW/THINK A TERM IS RACIST doesn’t mean it’s not racist. Example — the slur “moon face” is one of the most racist things against Asian people. Most haven’t heard of it. But it’s damn racist. Trump used it against @gtconway3d last year.

5) “slow boats to/from China” traditionally references the classic Chinese junk sailing ships. Slow Asian boats directly refers to this old stereotyped boats from China. So yes it’s a racist stereotype against Asians.

6) The same judge blocks the prosecution from calling Rittenhouse’s murdered gunshot victims as “victims”, but calling them arsonists looters and rioters is okay.

7) Many others agree it was racist. I’m not alone in being disappointed. huffpost.com/entry/kyle-rit…
8) Anddddd…. There it is… got another racist troll telling me to get my ass out of America.
