    Elaine Chao exploits the language of filial piety and the vague phrase “Asian culture” to cover up her specific abuses of power and acts of political corruption. In doing so, she throws Asians & Asian Americans under the bus.pic.twitter.com/327iCpGtTT

        Why is this important especially now? We are living in a time when Asians are under deadly assault, perceived as a global economic, health & political threat—“yellow peril” redux. Each racial & ethnic group has individuals who cause harm. Chao endangers groups w/ such language.

        Why not just say, “Confucius made me do it”? We can name the “Asian culture” defense for what it is: Garbage. I’m tweeting this because it harms the rest of us—ordinary Asians & Asian Americans. Investigate Chao as an individual. Give her due process. Tell it to the judge.

        Yes, representation matters, and cultural misrepresentation matters. “Asian values”—whatever that means—cannot be used to excuse corruption.

        Absolutely. What utter crap to use Asian culture to defend personal corruption.

        more like filial hypocrisy that cuts across socio-ethnic lines. Like Trump, some folks would sell out their own mothers for a little taste of power and money.
