I think americans assume when they see a chinese or asian person working at an american business that they "escaped" china as opposed to just being rich enough to go to school abroad. and has little to no bearing on the amount of intelligent going around.
If Americans see an Asian person working at a US business, they will assume that person is an American. They may even ask what state you are from. It's honestly one of the nice things about the place, you can belong even if you are not from there.
I will just assume they are American, unless they are an uber driver. Some cities in China very much are losers of the new tech plan. Otherwise why would they fly to mexico and cross the border
They've been continuously programmed with insane beliefs about China, which is less shocking when you understand what insane beliefs that they've had programmed into them about their neighbors. The world and your neighborhood are full of evil communists and Nazis who are trying to kill you all the time.

Don't know about that but your neighbors in Iran in early january happened to be "nice people" who just followed the orders to slaughter 30 000 unarmed civilians.
We could talk about the, what 600 000 deaths, including many civilians, in the Ukraine/Russia war.
Or we could talk about the number of nice palestinians killed since the beginning of the war in Gaza. Or we could go a bit further and talk about the joy and celebration in Gaza after their heroes brought back 200 hostages after having slaughtered 1200 civilians.
You may be living in a place that you think shields you from those but I know the ideologies behind these acts.
The fallacy of gray is just that: it's not true that there's always a nice middle ground and that there's no evil ideology out there.
Something something about the price of liberty being eternal vigilance. For there are people abusing your blind trust.
