Learning Yasuke was based on a real person did little to assuage critics. Asian men in particular argued Schmidt-Hori was trying to erase them, even though her role involved researching historical customs and reviewing scripts, not creating characters.

If you are this stupid, maybe you in particular should be erased?

Uneducated comment, removed.

My dude... Not only can Asians be racist, they are some of the most racist people around. Go to China and listen to them talk about other races. They make Alabama seem like a pinnacle of equality and tolerance.

Taiwan #1!!!

Can confirm, I have Asian friends and they can say some pretty spicy things about their neighboring countries. Of course, if they actually meet someone from that country they'll call them an exception.

It's pretty wild IMO.

We had a Thai exchange student while I was in high school.

She used skin whitening cream, and refused to talk to myself and my mother because we were the dark ones in the family.

So yeah, Asians can be insanely racist.

Yeah, that's just racist in the other direction. You could read the article where it gives some examples and the part where Schmidt-Hori met some of them on video.

I’m Asian-European and in my experience there are many Asians who are right wing racist shit heads. Not to mention all the self hating Asian women who hate every Asian man on the planet including their own family members.

The article disagrees

[-] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

If you actually read the article, you’d see your assumption is wrong.

Anik Talukder, a 28-year-old south Asian man living in the United Kingdom, said he apologized at least 10 times to Schmidt-Hori after accepting her Zoom invitation to discuss his Reddit post about her.
