I find it rather odd that you can describe yourself as "aggressively liberal" and then go on to defend discrimination against an entire ethnic group because of one government's admittedly problematic actions. The CCP does not inherently represent Chinese people (either from the PRC or certainly ethnic Chinese broadly), any more than the Republican Party represented all Americans simply by virtue of being in control of Congress and the Presidency. |

> As a non-chinese, I'm also annoyed at the lack of differentiation between Asian and Chinese- and then further from Chinese descent vs. CCP supporter.
But to further exemplify. If objectively evil aliens who looked just like white dudes with early male balding appeared, and people started attacking bald people. I think bald people would be frustrated if the cultural narrative asserted on them was "Anti-bald hatred" and that all bald entities should work together here, including the evil aliens. The problem might just be that a subset of bald people are bad, and some assholes are particularly degenerate in their willingness to group them together. Bald people would reject being called the same as the evil aliens just because they're visually similar. They're not the problem and they shouldn't have to put up with this.
People hate the aliens, and a subset of people are just jerks. Unlike past controversies like anti Muslim and anti Black sentiments, anti-CCP isn't unsubstantiated. It's a non trivial threat. Some racist, violent thugs shouldn't get to control the cultural narrative of what's going on. If I oppose X, hell no am I going accept a movement that says that both I am equivalent to X, and that opposition to X is unfounded.
