From LAist:
When it rains, it pours racist comments about bad Asian drivers! …. Claire Jean Kim,
associate professor of political science and Asian American Studies at the University
of California Irvine …. "Those kinds of jokes reflect a deeper view of Asian Americans
as culturally different and inferior. That's not a joke, that has material effects.
It leads to a general sense, even those who are born here in the U.S., they simply
don't belong."
