I wonder what the poll would look like if you interviewed Taiwanese-Americans and Taiwanese living in America about their views of Chinese mainlanders.
Also, would be interesting to see a similar poll about Russians from Americans in general and Ukrainian-Americans.
Members at large of aggressor groups will be stereotyped, that's how humans work everywhere. Go to South Africa and interview locals about people from "up north".
Insofar as minorities seek greater legal representation and rights, "Asian American" makes perfect sense as a political identity. If you're Burmese, why not throw in with Thai and Chinese Americans?
However, I'm unsure if anything tangible can be discerned about Americans' attitudes toward "Asian Americans." There are simply too many cultures represented that share not enough in common. Even "Hispanics" (a vexing, incoherent classification) have more in common than Asian Americans.
If you don't know what you're measuring, it's hard to understand the data and give it appropriate context.
I would bet good money that distrust from every ethnic group to every other ethnic group is rising due to identity politics making this a salient attribute in every discussion.
> Many Americans remain unaware of the spike in anti-Asian American racism and hate over the past year.
...yet on the same page the responses to "How has your opinion of Asian Americans, in general changed over the past 12 months?" overwhelmingly skew to "stayed the same" or "positive".
Maybe I'm missing something, but it certainly seems like they are trying to push a narrative that even their own data doesn't support.
The concerning stats are on slides 32 and 33, showing that an increasing number of Americans believe Asian Americans are more loyal to their country of origin, and that Asian Americans contributed to COVID-19. Unlike some of the other stats, this one isn't broken down by party. But I would bet that almost all of this increase was among Republicans. Slide 19 provides some support for this, as conservatives were more than twice as likely as liberals to say that racism against Asian Americans has stayed the same or decreased.
Aggregate polls hide the bimodal nature of American politics, which makes them largely useless in understanding what is actually happening in the population.
i am a naturalized american who used to have a different passport most of the life. I've pondered who I would support in a hypothetical war between the countries. I haven't been able to resolve this.
The one who's less guilty of humanitarian violations in that scenario? Don't support America, Russia, or China when they act to make peoples' lives worse. It's like having two really good friends (husband and wife) and the husband starts beating the wife. You're not going to support him just because he's the closer friend. With that said, it's important to remember that many people will do just this and immigrants in a country can wrongly support their origin country. cough supporting Russia right now cough
I would hope it is to the country you chose to pledge an Oath of Allegiance to in order to obtain the new citizenship and all of the benefits it has granted

The people who were born in the same town as I was, who speak undifferentiable standard US English, send their kids to local schools, etc.?

I am therefore apparently an Asian, something that never occurred to me.
