The quiet part? You mean "the only people we should let spy on us is our own government"?

The quiet part is "American citizens of Chinese descent can't be trusted". This is as obvious of a dogwhistle as when people "innocently" point out that the CEO of some maligned Wall Street firm is Jewish and I have no idea why it's getting upvotes on this site.

Huh, I guess I was out of the loop. I never got the thing about Jewish people either so I guess this is normal though. Thanks for explaining!
