In reality, Asian-Americans do not call themselves “AAPI,” nor do they feel that a “politically correct” new moniker does anything to deter anti-Asian attacks or help the community.

But this has been the left’s gimmick for decades: Foment racial resentment in order to “divide and conquer” the populace.

They start by pushing ridiculous acronyms to segregate people by color and then push false narratives to stoke race wars.

Another example is the absurd label “Latinx,” a gender-neutral expression to denote Latinos.

If you ask most Hispanics, they say they don’t like the bizarre term.

“Latino people don’t want your woke leftist word,” tweeted film director Robby Starbuck, a Cuban-American congressional candidate from Tennessee.

Starbuck noted that a 2020 poll conducted by a “progressive” polling firm found that a whopping 98 percent of Latinos do not want to be referred to as “Latinx.”

This political theater underscores that Democrats gaslight people into thinking they’re solving problems with empty lip service while actually taking no real action to improve anyone’s life.

Nothing is more emblematic of the left’s con game of using empty gestures to score political points than its campaign to paint “Black Lives Matter” signs on the streets of Democrat-run cities such as Chicago while doing nothing to stem the record-high surge in black murder rates.

Similarly, if Democrats really cared about Asian-Americans, they would back the Asian community in its discrimination lawsuits against Harvard and Yale universities for implementing affirmative action policies designed to artificially limit the number of Asians admitted.

But they don’t. Why? Because they don’t actually care about Asian-Americans, but they want the public to think they care by unveiling fancy new monikers like “AAPI.”

Sadly, some Asians are dumb enough to fall for this stunt. But many others don’t because they remember what their moms (or some otherwise person) told them: It is actions — not words — that matter.

For example, the left has smeared Trump as a “racist” because he correctly noted that the coronavirus came from China.

However, he backed Asian-Americans in their discrimination lawsuit against Harvard.

Meanwhile, Biden and other Democrats pretend they’re helping Asian-Americans by referring to them with the goofy label “AAPI,” while trying to institutionalize discrimination against the Asian community.

So your mom was right: When interpreting someone’s intent, look at their actions — not their empty words.
