Why would Asian-Americans be upset with this? If all of the EU suddenly went authoritarian and hostile toward the US, would people be upset to see similar laws against EU citizens?

- yumraj 3y ago> Why would Asian-Americans be upset with this? Most of the article is under paywall, but does it say that Asian Americans are upset with this? I only read “Chinese plaintiffs” which implies, to me, Chinese citizens not Chinese ethnicity.
- afpx 3y agoIt mentions it at least twice.
- SpaghettiCthulu 3y agoDid we read the same article? I didn't see it mentioned even once.

"I think [it's] the broader stigmatization and chilling effect that the law has created for not only Chinese people in the state of Florida, but Asian Americans in general." And > Li said the Asian American community is concerned about worsening anti-Asian behaviors in the U.S. And > "But what ends up happening is that it's really Chinese people and Asian Americans here that end up being harmed by many of these statements and much of this discriminatory rhetoric, because it gives the general impression that it's OK to attack even Americans."
- afpx 3y agoSounds more like made-up propaganda to drive a wedge in a multicultural society.
- pertymcpert 3y agoProbably because lots of Asian Americans have family members who are still Chinese citizens. China doesn't allow dual citizenship, so their parents and grandparents may be barred from buying property even if they've lived here for a long time and have a green card. You may suggest they get American citizenship, which would be fair normally but I think asking someone to give up their citizenship of their birth country in order to own a home is wrong. It's a part of their identity.
