I heard a guy at work today say that he’d “been to China” and “didn’t like Asians.”

What the fuck.

I’ve been to the Middle East and hated the place — mainly due to the treatment of women — but by no means would I say that I “hate all Middle Easterners,” etc.

I found people there to be about like people everywhere, really.

Don’t misread me — cultural differences matter. There’s a reason I don’t think it’s a good idea to allow a million virulently woman-hating men into your country. That’s a terrible idea just on the face of it, especially if you are a woman.

But don’t like all Asians? What does that even mean? How can that come out of anyone’s mouth as a serious statement?
