______

in America, many Asian people are unfamiliar with being categorized as a general race. After all they came from a supportive community without racial discrimination issues to navigate. so below are typical checkbox answers that can be checked on federal forms and when reporting hate incidents, or applying for financial assistance, especially after a tax by non-Asian people, or you may find this on any form where they collect data in the United States for government monitoring including health. Some people call this targeting a form of malicious action that is passed to other malicious actors and weaponized in the United States.


Conversely the data can be manipulated by persons of non-Japanese heritage, such as Americans who live temporarily in Japan and who choose to identify as being Japanese. These types of actions can adversely impact authentic Japanese minorities in the United States of Japanese descent. well Japan and the elite promote this type of mindset, the actuality in the United States adversely impacts our lives. Especially when it comes to funding for being a minority. To me,  it is definitely an elite type of mindset designed to keep the money flowing and the elite circles. And sometimes the elite keep us around so that they can use our identities to access funding.


 I have met many Japanese people on Twitter X who do not understand the AAPI and AAPINH  designations:
