On today’s episode of Walt Right Perspectives I speak with
—a longtime friend of this publication who fittingly writes atThe Calipers is a politically homeless late millennial of mixed Chinese and White heritage who was briefly racially activated during the height of Covid hysteria in 2020 but has since deradicalized into rationalist / heterodox / Hananiac circles.

The tendency of lazy white boys to pass off work to azns in Corporate America
Elite White Men don’t see multiculturalism as oppressive because they personally benefit from it, and will be anti-White and feminist to pull up the ladder on other White guys because they don’t see women or minorities as threats
Can a Chinese guy truly succeed in America?
Should Asian American men arbitrage their status in Southeast Asia?
Do wypipo want Japanese to represent Asians because they are more subdued?

Why Calipers was racially activated in 2020

Liberal Whites and Conservative Whites are different ethnic groups now
Does Calipers agree with
’s argument that Castizo Futurism won’t apply to Asians?The power of Whiteness consists in its aspirational quality—Whiteness is a gradient instead of a hard binary like Blackness, which allows Whites to use miscegenation as a tool of conquest and to divide & conquer
The incentive to shapeshift—going forward mixed beige Zoomers will racially affiliate in accordance with shifting incentive structures
Why did White libtards used to obsess over Free Tibet?
Why are wypipo pretending to give a shit about the Uyghurs?
How will it impact Chinese Americans if we go to war with China?
Would China even try to protect its diaspora?
Is internment *really* inconceivable in the 21st century?

How common is it among Asian guys to resent Asian girls who date White boys?
Is there a meaningful difference between the experiences of a Chinese American and Korean American? And if so is this just internal to the Asian psyche, and do most White people even process a difference?
