      Asians, especially Chinese/Japanese/Korean people, have an interesting standing in many places outside of asia. They still experience a tonne of racism, but for some reason they don’t get nearly the violent hate that other people of colour get.

      Racism will say that Black people are criminals, latinos are lazy, and Middle Easteners are terrorists but most of what asian people seem to get are comments about weird food, good grades, and racist caricatures. They’re treated as this white-adjacent group. It won’t save them, but it does sorta explain why that kid is there.

      Now, the black and hispanic people who are part of ICE can get absolute rat-fucked a million ways to Sunday because they’re there for the love of the game at that point. Everyone in ICE is a bare-minimum terrible but holy shit, the fuck do they think they’re doing?

      Reach out to a kid who’s still figuring out his world view and offer him $45/hr to walk around an airport, and I think he might compromise his shaky morals a bit.
