I love how asians are the new whites. For all its worship of success, Americans hate success like no other.

I've seen instances of US-born American Asians to not fall under the "People of Color" label when referred to by Latin-American or Black employees, thus being associated more with White Americans, and yet they themselves would self-label as "People of Color" in other conversations.
My impression is that, at least in coastal metropolitan cities, East and South Asians are informally part of the white "class". Economically those two groups are more accomplished than most white ethnicities https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ethnic_groups_in_the_U... , which I imagine makes other minorities less than thrilled about being affiliated with them, as they don't get to share the same levels of success.
Given the current political climate I'm worried we're swinging towards the latter.
With US and China going into a cold war too, it gets more awkward, and that's even more difficult to speak up about since they're public enemy #1 here.
