As I said on Twitter, don't mean to undermine anything you're saying here. But I think that the history of state-sponsored discrimination against Chinese-Americans in California should probably be more prominent here. Not to equate it to the experience of Black people. But it's not exactly a modest amount of discrimination.

Thank you for writing such a thoughtful and nuanced piece that goes deep into how intensely local these issues are. I moved to the US as an adult and live in a majority Black city that was very segregated (Baltimore) before moving to the Bay Area, and I've learned over the years how different issues are in each local community and how many layers exist that need to be peeled back to understand the dynamics at play.
