Always reject our enemies' attempts to flatter us into division!

President Joe Biden's nomination of the Honorable Lucy H. Koh to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is a historic choice. Koh would be the first female Korean American federal circuit judge in the country's history. But to be fair, Koh has been breaking barriers in our judicial system throughout her career.

A brilliant jurist with an unimpeachable record, Koh was welcomed into the Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation proceeding Wednesday with this greeting from the committee's ranking member, Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa. Quoting his daughter, Grassley said the "Korean people" can make a lot out of nothing." "So I congratulate you and your people," he added.

We've seen this play before.

In 2018, an intelligence analyst was badgered by then-President Donald Trump, who was obsessed with finding out where her "people" were "from." Sound familiar? He also labeled her the "pretty Korean lady" who should have been a part of negotiations with North Korea.

Those who advance these kinds of stereotypes are deliberately creating a false and damaging binary. On one side are the "good" and acceptable minority communities, and on the other are communities deemed inferior. These categories are also created to highlight and praise nonwhite Americans who have sufficiently assimilated into American — read: white — society. This is terrible for minority groups, who find themselves pitted against one another, and it creates a wildly counterproductive cultural dynamic.
...
it is enabled by language and rhetoric that separates Americans into groups: not the collective we, but my people and your people.

In April 2017, Grassley co-sponsored the Israel Anti-Boycott Act (s. 720), which would make it a federal crime for Americans to encourage or participate in boycotts against Israel and Israeli settlements in the West Bank if protesting actions by the Israeli government.[117][118] In 2019, Grassley was one of 14 Republican senators to sign a letter from Marco Rubio that involved condemning the BDS movement.[119]
