    There is no "mainstream Progressive (sic) justification" for discriminating against Asians, because there is no progressive political platform built on discriminating against Asians.

Oh there is one that's forming, indeed. Asian-Americans are now called "white adjacent": https://www.asian-dawn.com/2020/11/17/school-district-catego...

Sometimes they're called "white adjacent". Mostly they're just called "white", or "lily-white".

Here's Eugene Volokh writing about it in 1998: https://www2.law.ucla.edu/volokh/asian.htm

I think the preferred practice nowadays for elected officials in more progressive areas is to call Asians "house n****rs."
