People often forget that systemic racism against Asian Americans is also racism. That's part of the point. That you can do everything right and have things go reasonably well, but have it all taken away from you because of the color of your skin.
Like the physicist who was innocent but had his family dragged through an espionage trial because the officials didn't even bother to consult experts in the field.
I'm not sure if that was necessarily racism though. I think because China is now seen more and more as an enemy and the professor was born in China, maybe that's why. Not excusing the the FBI, just questioning whether racism was at play. What if it had been a white Russian scientist? Would it have been different?
