Ying Ma is a conservative Chinese American who's been appearing on Fox lately to hype her theory that liberals only became interested in anti-Asian violence when they could use it to smear Donald Trump—who, frankly, doesn't really need anyone to smear him as it's already impossible to suss out where the slime ends and the human genome begins.

Oh, and she also thinks all Chinese Americans need to denounce the Chinese communist government over its failure to stop the novel coronavirus because, you know, that's their country, right?

Most of my immediate ancestors were Germans who came to this country in the 1860s and '70s following the Great Cinnamon Strudel and Kartoffelpuffer Famine of 1862....

The point is, it was a long time ago, and my parents and grandparents never knew any other home than America—and so they were solidly on our side during World War II. So I would have found it more than a little odd if, growing up, I'd been repeatedly asked to denounce 1930s and 1940s German war atrocities just because I was a white descendant of northern Europeans.
