I was following several pro-PanAsia Asian American accounts on twitter (but then stopped following a few very vocal ones because I discovered they were unfortunately also racist towards literally anyone not Asian) who were upset with Asian Americans who they felt were sellouts for dumping not only on China and North Korea, but in some cases even their own parents of Chinese background and the twitter accounts said it was because these sellouts were just desperate to be accepted into American society.

There are certainly Asian Americans who can see how they're viewed and treated in Western countries thankfully; but unfortunately there are certainly sellouts who folks will immediately turn on the moment they say one good thing about China or defend it in any way at all. I've seen so many videos of vicious attacks on Asian folks, in addition to them flat out being sucker punched by complete strangers.

There was a giant thread about a month ago on whether Latinos are "Western" or not.

I'm not looking to stir that pot again, but just providing context on what Hello Kitty's probably referring to.
