It's a cultural thing. In America, Asian Americans were wearing face masks starting around January (many wear them all year round). Non-asian Americans don't like to, for whatever reason.
- umanwizard 7y agoA lot of actual Asians in the US, not just "Asian-Americans", are wearing masks too. Sorry, it is my pet peeve when people assume that everyone living in the US is "American".
- tathougies 7y agoI mean, sure, but most Asians in the US are citizens.
- umanwizard 7y agoWhat papers someone has is an administrative matter that does not perfectly correlate with what nation they culturally identify with. I think there are many people who, despite having US passports, identify more readily as "Chinese" than "Chinese-American".
- tathougies 7y agoI doubt it. Most Chinese Americans hate the CCP and want nothing to do with China, since most are descended from the original chinese settlers of the west, not recent immigrants. And plus, as an Asian american myself, I don't think that an American born person of Asian ethnicity is Asian, so please don't racesplain to me.
