BREAKING: Marco Rubio Says US Will Begin Revoking Visas of Chinese Students. More Yellow Peril BS! [1]

Per recent headline at Reuters: www.reuters.com/…
Marco Rubio, our current Secretary of State, announced the plans to start revoking visas for Chinese students including “those with connections to the Chinese Communist Party or studying in critical fields.”
Translation: If you’re from China, you’re a Fifth Columnist and we want you out before you betray us to your evil Yellow Masters.
This lie, this insulting and vile bit of propaganda, is not new. Not in the slightest. As I detailed in last week’s Whiteness Wednesday, the oldest court case in the list of decisions that formed the core of race-based jurisprudence in this country was barring a Chinese resident from obtaining citizenship.
Ah Yup, the Chinese immigrant in question, was told that his race was not White and that as a Chinese subject of the emperor he could never be trusted to be fully American. Never mind that Ah Yup, if he were an American citizen, had every right to freedom of speech and belief. Never mind that he clearly loved his new home more than his birth one. He was Chinese, and therefore too Alien to be American.
How is that logic, that inhuman cruelty, any different when you substitute any Chinese American or Chinese immigrant for Ah Yup and swap the CCP for the Chinese Emperor? How is this any less wrong?
It isn’t. It’s dehumanizing and disgusting. There’s no good, justifiable reason to treat Chinese students any differently. Do we plan to revoke visas for Russian students? What about Saudi ones?
Of course not. Rights cannot be dependent on whether or not your homeland has paid enough in bribes or has enough blackmail material.
We need to speak out. I’m still looking for a more direct way to contact them, but for now here’s the contact form for the State Dept.: register.state.gov/…
Scroll to the bottom and fill out the form there.
