    5'9 is average for an American man but short for a politician.

    To be honest, the cartoon is only mildly offensive but I think that is the point for the AAPI. It's the subtle racism, so people tend to ignore it including many Asians. Dying by a thousand paper cuts.

    No I get it, it is subtle racism and I can see how people would miss the stereotypes.

    I have no issue with the AAPI calling it out that's my ignorance being exposed.

    If I did then I wouldn't need fact 3 to confirm my premise: "57% of people of Asian decent as of 2019 were foerign born" to conclude that majority of people of Asian decent came here after 1980.

    The cartoonist is definitely pointing out the racism. political cartoons and satire are easy to understand by people who are looking to see the message.
