Call it a condemnation.

The kind that Trump repeatedly failed to do.

Who the hell is pissed about Polynesian and Samoans wielding crooked economic powers, influence, military build up not seen since the last century, spreading disease, slave labour, human exploitation and espionage?

So do Japanese , can you tell the difference between the two ?

I was taught at school that Chinese eyes slant upwards and Japanese eyes slant downwards and that some Japanese people have double eyelids.

Most people's eyes look at stuff...DNA makes 'em like that.
;)
But then again...then there are the TDS types that imagine they only see what they are programmed and/or paid to see.

It is a good thing that President Biden has a say on this and not just keeping quiet until it dies down. Better than the previous administration too. However, I did not really expect how this thread will turn out to be. A comparison between Asians. To be honest, it can be difficult to identify one's race by just looking at the eyes. The best thing to do is not to mind other people's business as well as their race. After all, it has nothing to do with you. It won't hurt if you will just ignore it.

Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me:
I lift my lamp beside the golden door.
