You have really high hopes for the standard American. The offhand racism against Chinese people (not the PRC) I see in online communities, even supposedly liberal ones like Reddit, is very telling.

As an American of Chinese descent, I honestly have very real concerns about my own safety in the next decade or two going forward. Japanese internment camps happened not too long ago, they can happen again. Or worse.

Even if it weren't government sanctioned, violence against us is still on the rise[1].

Dude, America has come a long way since internment. America is by far the least racist large country and levels of violence against Asian Americans, although being hyped in the news are neither statistically higher than other races or than they were in the past. It’s just people making you afraid for money.
