Many Chinese people deep down look down on Indians, Filipinos, Vietnamese, and other such Asians, always thinking of themselves as the top tier of Asians alongside Japanese and Koreans. To be honest, the least united and least concerned with protecting group rights are the Chinese.
Look at other ethnic groups they all have their own advocacy organizations, and when something happens, they band together. But the Chinese? A bunch of people gloating over others’ misfortune. Scum like those “Hua Chuan” types who only cheer for anti-Chinese sentiment are still everywhere today.
The way Indians stick together is incredibly tight not just in Silicon Valley. Something a lot of people don’t know: in the U.S., the budget motel and cheap hotel industry is almost entirely monopolized by Indians; it’s all about that tight-knit encroachment. In healthcare, Filipinos are the absolute powerhouse. Vietnamese Americans have a monopoly-level dominance in the nail salon industry too.
The underlying reason in my opinion is that fundamentally all Chinese want a strong and advanced China for purely selfish reasons: because deep down every Chinese harbors the dream of being the Emperor of China one day, even overseas Chinese diaspora, hope to return and rule over China.
The core contradiction if it can be called that, is that many Chinese don’t want to serve or work for other Chinese and help their dream of ruling China, so Chinese will help and work with other races to get rich to get ahead of other Chinese in the goal of ruling China by themselves.
