From the precarity of their position, one can see how the culture war works and the fate it bestows to Asian Americans. The manner by which the culture war marginalizes Asian Americans exposes the warrior logic driving its operations. The antiracist culture war makes casualties of Asian Americans, bystanders conscripted into a war not of their making. |
