My fellow Asians: stop doing this. Stop the false assertion that anti-Asian racism is somehow The Worst when you measure it against society’s tolerance of anti-Black racism. It’s a false and unnecessary comparison that harmfully co-opts anti-blackness to validate our outrage.

I will never forget sitting in that hearing room yesterday. What I saw wasn't a Supreme Court justice testifying. It was the performance of a belligerent political operative. The theatrics of a privileged, life-long partisan who thinks he's *owed* this seat.
It was horrifying.
