As a Chinese american, AFAIK, this has been a crucial issue for majority of the community. Could you stop labeling a core issue for a group of people "pliticization"?

Show some respect to a group of people that have been systematically discriminated through well-known laws. Even black people are not treated in that fashion nowadays.

I'm a chinese american as well, and I also think its an important issue, but I don't think theres any need to bring identity into this discussion.

You can't deny that the timing of this decision is suspect.

If Black Americans were not subject to high levels of structural discrimination, maybe this issue would be less fraught.
