WotC Dungeons & Dragons Fans Seek Removal of Oriental Adventures From Online Marketplace

I'm not denying that people classified into the group "Asian Americans" (which I believe to be a dubious step) were marginalized and stereotyped. I'm argue that all basis for those marginalization and stereotypes is rooted in misconceptions that must be differentiated from fact.

Why have community groups. Why have community organizations. If the community for it does not exist.

Racism is often irrational. And not rooted in anything. Simply happens because the racist is a little shite. No excuse in that.

That's a moving goalpost given that you were just saying that you had doubts about there being an Asian-American community. Honestly, at this point, it just sounds like you're sealioning.

I don't know why people have community groups. I don't know why people are flat Eathers or moonlanding deniers. For community groups, I might hypothesize that they serve a purpose of combating loneliness, isolation, and meaninglessness for those individuals. I have worthy justification for those propositions, however.

I'm not excuse racism because it's irrational. Irrationality is never excusable and should instead be rectified.

The goalpost is not moving. Individuals can be placed into perceived, but imaginary groups and discriminated against as such. However, that discrimination does not justify the existence of such groups.

That's a lot of words for saying nothing of actual substance.

They exist for their communities. For those communities.
Remember. Asian American is incredibly diverse.
Your irrelevant comments about flatearthers and moonlanding deniers I will ignore.

That's because I'm not presenting substance. I'm asking substance to be presented. I'm auguring that racism is poor reasoning that must be corrected.

Many (which I perceive you to be among, but I may be wrong) are arguing for the removal as a track to reduce racism. I don't see how removing art reduces racism without correcting poor reasoning in the first place, but if that poor reasoning was corrected, there would be no reason to remove said art.

To combat racism. Requires education. Requires lack of ignorance. Requires not the refusal to see racism exists. Requires not the refusal to see that it causes marginalization and fear to complain. Requires wanting to change. Requires empathy.

I don't deny that the individuals placed into the perceived category are not diverse. All individuals are unique, as demonstrated by our DNA and personal history.

Flatearthers and moonlanding deniers are important, because existence of perceived communities can arise in the minds of their constituents, while unified by a fictional premise. That does not mean if is the same for Asian Americans. I am unsure on that account.

I agree with everything above.
