Summers called this female Chinese economist “peril.”
“Yellow peril” was partially built on the claim that Chinese women were sexually immoral threats.
That logic fueled the Page Act of 1875, which barred Chinese women by presuming they were prostitutes, even before the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act.

Race does not exist. It is a fictitious category constructed to justify racism. Using racial categories to describe people *presupposes* the racial distinction such positions pretend to 'prove'. And those who use racial categories to support any kind of discrimination are racists. Not hard.
