and Chinese civilians

Holy shit this part made me physically uneasy. They're basically telling you to fear Chinese people cause they can be "spies". Red scare and Cold War propaganda vibes.

I find people in tech to be rabidly sinophobic as a rule

"Yellow peril" is back on the menu! Hate to see it.

People can't tell if someone is Chinese or Japanese/Korean at a glance and if "appropriately" fearful, they won't get to know them enough to differentiate.

The Atlanta spa shooting killed mostly Vietnamese Americans cause white people wont bother trying to differentiate. A lot of people from SEA can pass as “Chinese” to them of course
