For the most part Mexicans and black people have had each other’s backs, or at least understood they were both being oppressed in someway.

Asians just aren’t going to get that sort of love or understanding, because they are by and large richer and more privileged than either of them.

Burmese people are one of the only “Asians” that suffer the same type of life that Mexican and Black folks face, but most people don’t really consider them Asian in the same way they do Chinese people.

This is a truly awful take. My parents immigrated to the US after a Civil War in their country. They grew up with war, famine, and poverty that very few people in the US would understand. Neither of my parents had college degrees and worked literally 16 hour days, 360 days a year for decades.

Throughout elementary school, middle school, and high school, I was constantly discriminated against by every race. I'm also quite dark, so I've been pulled over and treated pretty terribly by police. Teachers thought I didn't speak English and assumed I was a cheater. I'm Asian, but not Burmese, so I don't know where you get the idea that you can generalize Asian privilege.

Asians are not a monolith. The children of a Chinese PhD student or an Indian cardiologist don't have the same experience as the kids of a Vietnam or Korean War refugee.
