It’s a hard sell to say you feel like your heritage was cause for grief when you come from a superpower, and the richest country in the world. You may individually be not well off, but we’re talking about group properties.
Oh, now it’s about group power and not individuals?
See, people keep on redefining things. So a Mexican-American being from a “super power” what, they can be made fun of by white Mexicans because?
What about Chinese from China, now that they are super power, does everyone get to pile on any individual because as a group they are powerful (based on PPP they are on par or surpassed us).
It all bullshit. If it’s not for me or it’s not right for them, then it’s not right for anyone.
It's always been about group power. The idea that it's about individuals is, to use a term you might be familiar with, fake news.
A few years ago, the right was blowing up about "reverse racism" or racism against white folks (I'm speaking exclusively about the US now, because that's really all that I know) but that's not possible in America because whites are the most privileged race. Are there some poor white people? Absolutely. BUT (and this is the integral part) the systems of power don't work to keep poor white people poor in the same way that they work to keep poor black people poor. There's no assumption of guilt when it comes to white folks. Despite equal rates of drug use, white people are less likely to wind up in prison/jail for drug offenses than are black folks or other minorities.
Racism might be different in China, I'm not sure.
Also, while I'm on the subject (this isn't directly related to what you said, but it's related), the reference to race isn't racism. I've seen the attitude that to acknowledge race is racism a lot here on HN, and it's just false. I've seen it used to essentially silence people who say "as a black person, I perceive this as..." which is an extension of racism: the false idea that the victim of racism can't identify the racism because to identify the racism requires that they bring up race in a conversation in which race wasn't overtly called out.
Racism is simple to Id: if the decision is based on the perception of race, it’s racism whether positive or negative. Positive racism is : “I see you’re [race] come over here, you get to eat right here”. Negative racism “I see you’re [race] you get to eat over there. Where + and - aren’t value judgements but effect on the recipient.
