I will jump back in and figure out which side I am on when the abridged arguments start, and I can determine the nut of the story without reading the whole thing. It's how I roll.

Anybody got the cliff notes

"There are now, in a sense, two Asian Americas: one formed by five centuries of systemic racism, and another, more genteel version, constituted in the aftermath of the 1965 law."

Badly written piece . Twisting lee's book into another agenda

Frankly I found the layout or something w/ this article uninviting to read. Also TLDR.

Also not trying to incite anything here but I guess I personally have never identified Indian Americans as Asian Americans? Is that conventional? I guess I considered Indian culture seemed more aligned to the west of the Pacific Far East so this was news to me when I skimmed this article. Albeit I'm fully aware India is in Asia.

So internment of Japanese Americans was wrong but fearing all Muslims are Extremists in sheep's clothing and arming to the teeth to protect against the day they surely will attack enmass is correct thinking? Oh wait, or are you just making sure that we all remember that guns are good, gubm't evil?

I think he has a quota and things have been slow round here lately.
