I share this same sentiment as a Chinese American and I wouldn't be surprised if other Asians rolled their eyes at the riots that took place. No one talks about the BS that Asians have to deal with let alone know about them (i.e. affirmative action + minor minority myth = discrimination towards Asians, discrimination/crime towards Asians by blacks), but we're not gonna whine about this because that's just not what we do, we carry on working hard and not succumbing to victim mentality (i.e. when was the last time you saw an ALM organization).

Asian people don’t make an “Asian Lives Matter” because they’re not regularly targeted by police. They do however tend to lead efforts against affirmative action programs because they tend to reduce the number of Asian Americans who qualify for things. Painting this as an issue of other minorities being whiny is not a very nice characterization.

Another way to look at it is, they cannot be nicely boxed into a big voting block, so they don't get campaigns that conveniently coincide with elections and fizzle out soon after.

Asians are regularly targeted by police. Brown skinned Indians often look arab and are subject to the same racial profilings. One need only look at history (hello bellingham riots) to see rampant violence against asians that typically goes ignored due to asian cultural pragmatism.
