"On the Backs of Blacks" and Asian-Americans

Does prejudice against African-Americans unite people of all ethnicities? Toni Morrison seems to think so in her Time article "On the Backs of Blacks," writing that "racial contempt" and "buying into the notion of American blacks as the real aliens" finalize immigrants' transformations into real Americans. As our class transitions into looking at the lives of Asian-Americans, I can't help but wonder whether we Asian-Americans contribute to this toxic culture. As a Chinese-American growing up in an "ethnoburb" community just forty minutes away from Fremont, the suburb central in Willow Lung-Amam's Trespassers?, I first notice the utter lack of black people in Silicon Valley. Next, I think about the WeChat parents who dread heading into Oakland, or about the Korean-American girl who, upon hearing a list of African-American victims of police brutality and the locations of their deaths, asked whether the people read off were the mayors of their respective towns.
