My Grandma was running away from the Marcos regime in the Philippines as a political refugee. Many Chinese Americans's parents were running away from Red China.

There's more than two stories in America.

Btw: Asians are racist as fuck to each other. Just in slightly different ways. It's hard to describe.

Even if we settle on White America vs Black America specifically, Abraham Lincoln probably was a anti-slavery but pro-segregation kind of person. Racism itself has weird fractal-like split of nuance.

Case in point: Malcom X believed in Back to Africa and was anti-integration. Malcom X believed in building a new country (kind of like Israel) except for African Americans. What side do you put Malcom X here?
