Holy Jesus that article was trash.
First of all, we don't know that Chauvin is a racist - he might well be, but we won't know that until the trial, probably. He committed a heinous crime, but there is some evidence that he knew George Floyd from a nightclub they both worked at, making this at least as likely that this was personal, not racial in nature.
Secondly, I don't even know where to start with this interracial marriage trope. That might have been one of the most racist pieces I've read in a mainstream piece of journalism.
People in such a marriage (like me) hear about it. We get the stares. We get the people assuming my beautiful wife is "the help". But I know I married her because she is a fascinating person - something I'll gladly explain to any interrogatuer.
It is 2020, for Christ's sake.
Grow up.
And stow this "microaggression" bullshit.

Pasting an old 2018 NY Times article about the subject. You are confusing historical legality of interracial marriage with societal stereotyping. Famous alt-right Caucasian men (i.e. Richard Spencer, Derek Chauvin, etc.) have had relations with Asian women based on portrayal of former as strong dominance and latter as hyper-sexual submissiveness. Issue is that while some mixed marriages are out of legitimate love, others are out of desire for Asian women wanting privilege or Caucasian men wanting to avoid potential feminist.

How the “model minority” myth blends with racist ideology.

Can't Read past the pay wall.
How do we know Derek Chauvin is alt-right?
I'm still trying to sort out the language and do not want to unintentionally offer offense. "Asian" now covers a lot of turf. Googling images of Mr. Spencer's wife, she still appears to be Caucasian. Based on her appearance and maiden name, it would be easy to assume the she is a Caucasian from the area surrounding the Black Sea. But that is at best a Scientific Wild Ass Guess on my part.

Maj John Bell - Don't start filling the propaganda chute with any facts or questions about key assumptions that have no basis in fact. Is Chauvin an "alt right" follower? We have no idea. No evidence has been offered to support it or refute it.
I didn't know who Richard Spencer was as I don't follow the alt right crowd but if his wife is "Asian" I would be surprised. Based upon pictures, her name and her Russian ancestry that was easily found with a cursory look, she is not Asian. It appears she has (or is) divorcing Spenser.

why does MSN think that revealing her racial status make her more of a victim and the other guy more of a monster... We all know Chauvin was a monster... he posed on the guy neck like he caught a trophy buck... of course he is a monster....
