An Open Letter to Amy Radil at NPR/KUOW

Dear Ms. Radil,

My name is Alex Gao. I’m a Trump supporter and a legal immigrant from China.

I came across a segment you did on Trump and his “Chinese” supporters.
http://kuow.org/post/trump-has-fans-among-chinese-us-and-abroad

Even though you later updated the segment, you seem to have missed the
larger point—the fundamental hypocrisy of the left in its treatment of
minorities as pets.

I believe you have continued to demonize Chinese Americans, a task that is
often exclusively reserved for “right-wingers”, according to liberals.

After all, liberals are our masters, I mean, friends. Liberals surely don’t want to hurt their pets, I mean, minority allies.

To be clear, I’m not hurt. I just want to point out your hypocrisy.

You are a liberal. Of course, you think you act with the best intentions.
But good intentions can often lead to negative outcomes.

To begin, I’d like to share a video with you:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWynJkN5HbQ


This video comically demonstrates the fact that we Asian Americans are often not seen as Americans by Americans. If a black or a white American answers the simple question “where are you from?” with “I’m from Ohio”, it
suffices.

To us Asian Americans, that short question “where are you from?” often has a deeper significance.

Where are you really from?

You see, for us Asian Americans, the desire to belong is perhaps the most
important thing. To us, the first (extra) step of the American dream is to
belong.

From Chinese exclusion in the nineteenth century to Japanese American
internment during World War II to casual racism by modern-day liberals, the feeling that we don’t belong still haunts a lot of us. We constantly have
to prove that we are Americans and that we do belong here.

A few weeks ago, the New York Times published an open letter by Chinese
American reporter Michael Luo who describes an incident in which a woman
yelled “go back to China” in his face in Manhattan. I’m sure you read it and you believe that you are a better person than the woman in the story.
You would never yell “go back to China” to us. You care about us and
believe we belong here.

Except that, what you did is far worse than yelling “go back to China”.
Yelling “go back to China” is casual racism. It’s wrong but it is
individual behavior that will never completely disappear. We acknowledge its existence and fight it and live with it.

If someone yells that in my face (it hasn’t happened yet), I’ll be upset
for sure. But I would not malign a whole group of Americans. It’s shameful but it’s just one racist.

However, what you did is fundamentally different. It is institutionalized
racism and you are a perpetrator of it. In the original version which since has been deleted, without knowing anything about why some Chinese Americans support Trump, you quoted a “journalist” who said “if the Americans elect this guy, China will really be the beneficiary.” Then you interviewed a
student from China who claimed that “we don’t like Trump as a person, but we like him as a tool to kind of bring America down”. This narrative does a lot more damage to the Asian American community than the woman who yelled
“go back to China”.

You misled your listeners and readers into thinking that Chinese Americans
who support Trump do so because they want to bring America down. You
denigrated, alienated and “othered” Chinese Americans and Asian Americans.

But there’s a bigger problem that even your updated segment still does not address. Liberals tend to think they own minorities. If we agree with
liberals, they pat our heads the way they would a dog.

As soon as we disagree, liberals have no problem back-stabbing us.

Dear liberals, we don’t need a master. All we want is the right to think
for ourselves and to decide for ourselves. We want to belong and we want
the right to disagree with you.

Let’s turn to why some Chinese Americans support Trump.

First, we don’t trust the media. In the name of pushing the society “
forward”, the MSM does despicable things and reports lie after lie. There
is ample evidence of the media colluding with the Clinton campaign, thanks
to Wikileaks. A Politico reporter even called himself a “hack” to John
Podesta.

The media has been portraying Trump supporters as violent racists,
xenophobes who attack innocent people. But James O’Keefe’s work proves
that it was Democrats, with Hillary involved, who organized these instances of violence behind the scenes.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEQvsK5w-jY


After O’Keefe released his videos, the media was very reluctant to show
them because it would destroy the narrative.

As a result, liberals who only follow the MSM still think Trump is Hitler
and his supporters are violent racists.

Another widespread attack on Trump was that “he mocked a journalist with
disabilities”. The truth is he didn’t know the journalist had disabilities and he mocks everyone in an identical way, as shown in this video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8JqT2atxD8


But, what difference, at this point, does it make? You push the rhetoric you want to push. To this day, I still see a lot of Hillary supporters using
this myth to attack Trump.

The MSM is really not much better than the state media in China. This I can tell you. China’s state media is forced to distort facts, while the US MSM is all too happy to lie for a “noble” (progressive) mission. The ends
justify the means.

Second, those of us who grew up in China witnessed first-hand what big
government and socialism can do to the people. It’s always the same. It
starts with good intentions and fancy words and ends with devastation.

Socialism is like a perpetual motion machine. It’ll never work.

We have seen the corruption with our own eyes and Hillary is awfully similar to the “politicians” in China. She may be an almighty queen in your eyes but she’s the most corrupt American politician in my opinion. Words like
“diversity” and “multiculturalism” are just buzzwords to get votes. We
want true respect. We hate Hillary’s pandering. And we are certainly immune to fancy words.

I heard Hillary carries hot sauce with her. When told it was pandering, she said, “Is it workin’?” Maybe she also carries chopsticks? Is it wokkin’?

Having a woman president would be a good thing. But let it happen naturally. Don’t force a crooked and unfit woman on us. That’s sexism against women. If you take being a woman as a form of merit on its own, you must think
women are inferior.

Third, Political correctness is hurting everyone, especially minorities.
What does “anti fat-shaming” do? It doesn’t do any good to fat people. Of course, it’s hurtful to call a fat person fat. Very few people are that
rude. But PC exaggerates, taking everything to an extreme. Now, we have to pretend obesity is pretty and healthy?

It’s tyranny when the society doesn’t allow people to express different
opinions. Under this political climate, when someone says being obese is
unhealthy, it’s music to our ears.

With PC, people are forced to lie. Without honesty, we can’t address the
problems. Without addressing the problems, how can we find solutions?

The attacks on Trump are so comical that I almost feel like I live in a sci-fi world.

The media/Clinton campaign used alleged murder accomplice Alicia Machado to attack Trump. When I told my friends in China that Clinton vilified Trump by accusing him of calling Machado fat twenty years ago, my friends laughed
their teeth off.

Why did you compete in a beauty pageant if you didn’t want to be judged on your appearance?

Lastly, I support Trump’s policies. Of course, I don’t agree with him on
every single thing. But between him and Hillary, it’s a no-brainer.

I support the first and the second amendments. I support law and order. I
don’t hate anyone but I appreciate the idea of wanting to stop illegal
immigration. I support small government. You can go to his website to check out his detailed policies and compare them with Hillary’s.

What is racist about Trump’s policies? What’s wrong with putting America
first? Liberals have been virtue-signaling for so long that it has become
the standard. If you are not a hypocrite, you are a bad person.

People who have experienced real injustice are sick and tired of the phony
whining of American liberals.

To conclude, a word on white guilt. It is the worst form of racism that
still exists on a large scale. People who have white guilt are arrogant
racists who think they are better than non-whites. They are so much better
than us that they think everything is their fault. They see themselves as
white knights, white saviors. As a non-white person who has self-esteem, I
absolutely reject that concept.

We are all equals. Take responsibility for what you did. Don’t take credit or blame that doesn’t belong to you.

Dear Amy, you and your ilk are the very reason I supported Trump in the
first place. If the media had been honest, perhaps Trump would not have
become as popular as he is.

Thank you for exemplifying deceit and hypocrisy and helping to open our eyes to the contradictions in liberals and in the liberal-run media.

Sincerely,

Alex Gao

1 就事论事,一码归一码。每个人的“罪行”自己负责,搅混水不是个诚实的态度。

2 白左“犯罪”的时候,对白左说。白右“犯罪”的时候,对白右讲。

3 白左比白右更讲肤色,白左的政治基石--族群政治就是种族主义。 白右的个人主义
,绝大部分时候都不直接提肤色(你非要诛心,那当然人人看上去都是种族主义者。)

4 先确定自己是偏左还是偏右,然后再套肤色。如果一口咬定白人通通都是种族主义,那日子还怎么过?
