In LA Times, Anh Do has an entertaining schtick: recording Asian NIMBYs in Irvine, CA saying crass things about Southern California’s growing infestation of bums and junkies that make the Asians sound slightly to the right of Ming the Merciless.https://www.unz.com/isteve/stay-out-of-our-near-beach-community-roundeye-junkies/ …

These articles remind me of my idea for a sitcom: "Korean Mother-in-Law:" a nice, slightly hapless American white guy with a job where he must be politically correct all the time, like professor of genetics, has to invite his wife’s unfiltered Korean mother to move in with them.

White NIMBYs do a smooth job talking about the environment, preserving the feel of places they grew up in, the emotional labor that comes from hearing hammers banging in nails at new construction sites. Asian NIMBYs sound like they're in one of those non-PC skits in Family Guy!

I guess for now Asians don’t need to dirty their hands as much with NIMBY activism, thanks to price barriers. Dystopian film pitch: 2050, a sinicized Seattle is forced to take “it’s fair share” of African migrants. In despair the city hires a ruthless Singaporean police chief...

Many Asians at a recent Cupertino City Council meeting about approving the new Vallco housing development: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWTX_vxrCAU … Looks like they're mostly opposed, but some are in favor because they're poor or have a disabled child who needs below market rate housing.

At least one Indian speaking in opposition as well.

That said, the quote being discussed in that thread is from a young guy with an Italian last name who doesn't look Asian.

anti-Chinese propaganda from the exclusion era hits on this exact point. the stereotype was that they worked too hard and didn't care about civic matters.
