I'm wondering if a lot of racism against Asians is ignored because it's perpetrated by Blacks. Since it's another minority group, people feel awkward bringing it up and some people want to think that being Black means you can't be racist.

Another reason might be that the Asian population is less than other minority groups in America so that might be why it's overlooked.

Also, so many people here saying that racism against Asians is tolerated because Asians don't speak up, which is total bull. They have been speaking up, but they're just ignored. Because they're ignored, people act like they don't speak up.

I'm actually Asian myself and have been very fortunate not to experience blatant racism in my lifetime. I do live in a very diverse area on the East coast so it's kind of a bubble compared to the rest of the country. My sister was made fun of in middle school one time for having Asian features, but she hilariously thanked them super sarcastically. They didn't know how to respond and just walked away.
