Jason Lai–a six-year veteran of the SFPD–resigned earlier this month after a slew of text messages containing anti-Black rhetoric was found in his phone. Among the inappropriate texts he sent out, one of them were in reference to NBA superstar LeBron James, to which Lai messaged, “F___ that nig”.

His disparaging texts weren’t limited to public figures such as LeBron and President Barack Obama (whom he also made racist remarks about via text message). It was also discovered that Lai made generalizations about some of the Black citizens of San Francisco’s Tenderloin District–an area generally known for having  a sizeable Black population–by stating that “They’re all drug dealers in the TL (Tenderloin)”.

Lai, who is Chinese, also regularly refers to Black people as “hak gwai”, which is a demeaning racial slur that racist Chinese people use towards Melanoid people. In addition to his overtly racist texts, Lai has been involved in a sexual assault allegation from a woman who claimed that was raped by him last year. Although prosecutors dropped the rape charges due to insufficient evidence, he is, however, set to be arraigned on May 3 for illegal usage of DMV (Dept of Motor Vehicles) computers.

Jason Lai represents a recent surge of Asian police officers who have taken on the white supremacist ideologies of their colleagues from the dominant society, and are now carrying out the same heinous deeds of injustice by acting as the proverbial eyes, ears, and mouthpieces for their white cohorts. From Peter Liang, to Daniel Holtzclaw, to Jason Lai, it now appears that the face of white supremacy has changed yet again to suit its best interests to ensure that Melanoid people are kept in last place.
