The same accusation was not being levied against other contenders in the Democratic Party primary, despite all candidates having more or less the same position

The same accusation was not being levied against other contenders in the Democratic Party primary, despite all candidates having more or less the same position of official ambiguity (and Taiwan not being a major issue at all in the campaign.) Yang was being held to a different standard due to his race.
- CogitoCogito 5y agoWell Yang is being held to a different standard due to his _Taiwanese_ background, so unless you're saying Taiwanese is a race, I see this less as some general racism and more as people feeling (rightly or wrongly) that he is betraying his Taiwanese roots. This sounds much more like nationalism than anything else.
