Anti-Asian discrimination is nothing new amongst the 1% - it's just another way to identify the non-chosen. FWIW, in the 1960s Clavell wrote of an Asian-American nuclear scientist wanting to buy a house commensurate with his station, but being refused by the seller on the grounds that it's a nice neighborhood and nobody wants the likes of him next door. The scientist "took a vacation" and reappeared in China leading one of their programs a few months later. Fictionalization of something that really happened. It's a hidden loss to society whenever self-appointed elites behave like a corporate to stifle others.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
