Can you spell racism for me?

Reminds me of the tiktok congressional hearing where congressman repeatedly kept questioning the Singaporean CEO if he was Chinese despite the CEO continuously reminding them that he was from Singapore.

They heard him and knew the difference; they simply wanted emphasize China in the decision and Biden agreed with them
