I can't be the only one who got massive sinophobia vibes from this video.

A large image of a Chinese flag on top of the monitor pushing the poor weak defenseless USA flag off to the side.
White guy pointing at Asian guy and saying "people like this". Implication? Be very afraid of "people like This" i.e. Asian/Chinese
Saying that it could be used to attack white or white presenting women.

I'm not sure he intended it but the videos creator just pulled out basically half the 'tricks' racists use to get people rilled up in less than a minute.

That's not his implication. The white woman there was protesting for a Gaza ceasefire. This guy has stated numerous times he views people protesting for a ceasefire in Gaza as idiots. Targeting in this context is targeting them as "useful idiots" to cause civil unrest.

Notice how it's a total coincidence that TikTok must be banned again as soon as it becomes one of the biggest platforms for dissent wrt Israel and Gaza.
