Racial hierarchies are not simply a Western thing. Asian countries also have their own fucked-up racial and ethnic hierarchies while also absorbing some of the aspects of Western racism. This means that anti-blackness is RAMPANT in Asia AND Asian diasporas.
So that's something these two groups have in common - scumbags and these women share a mutual distrust and hatred of black people, globally and in the US.

Voltairine de Cleyre - a feminist, poet, and advocate of an "anarchism without adjectives - died in this day in 1912.
"So be it. But beware! — a Prison cell's
An evil bed to grow morality!
Black swamps breed black miasms; sickly soils
Yield poison fruit; snakes warmed to life will sting.
This time I was content to go alone;
Perchance the next I shall not be so kind."

For Whom the Pineapple Tolls
“the question runs not how one can acquire life, but how one can squander it, enjoy it; or, not how one is to produce the true self in himself, but how one is to dissolve himself, to live himself out.” (1995, p. 284) This is still our question today.
The communist subject that is produced in such activity is not some Nietzschean ubermensch, but what Stirner calls an Unmensch, an un-man, one who’s being is indifferent to the formal structures which seek to capture it, classify it, identify it, work it.
When society or community becomes the privileged form of the individual’s self-relation, then the task of the unique is to desecrate the community as much as possible. Yes, capital desecrates the world, wastes and squanders it. But the unique doesn’t retreat in the face of this, rather they outdesecrate, outwaste, and outown capital.
He goes on: “The dissolution of society is intercourse or union. . . [But] if a union has crystallized into a society, it has ceased to be a union [vereingun]; for a union is an incessant self-uniting; if it has become a unitedness, come to a standstill, degenerated into a fixity; it is —dead as union, it is the corpse of the union or the coalition, it is—society, community.” (1995, p. 271)
