Asian is such a generic term that I think one could characterize it as racist. My commanding officer in the US Marines were Korean-American and I can confidently say he was a great leader and someone I deeply respect and would follow into battle again even today.
There is such a broad and rich smorgasbord of cultural traditions from the Asian continent in the US that I don’t think it’s fair to lump them all together. When we start using personal anecdotes to prove some belief, we revert to some sort of pre-modern bigotry.
One thing that is for sure, in an attempt for equity, those with cultural norms to work hard, study hard and excel in life are being discriminated against. In the previous generation it was the Jews (in the US, as well as Europe) and today (broadly speaking) its Americans with an ethnic heritage from Asia. But the same underlying philosophy that killed undesirables in the Gulags of the Soviet and the death camps of the Nazi, are hard at work in the US today under the false pretense of “equity”.
The market would have adjusted and better devices that can circumvent their blocking would have become available.
Moreover, if Smart City chooses to block WiFi signal on their own private property, that is their business and not the FCC's. Of course they probably did this nefariously without the knowledge or consent of the private property owner.
Easiest solution is just to get rid of the States (governments) that are the source of these wars and death. AI Weapons, Nuclear or gunpowder is nothing in comparison to one biological weapon gone haywire. Or a Monsanto GMO crop that decided to mutate and completely destroy our planet.
Hopefully the State (with their oligarchy of multinational corporations will die out.) I believe and hope this will eventually happen. The internet is creating a global village. Once the fear-mongering and "us against them" mentality propagandized by states are gone, there will be no more use for governments. Money will become crypto-currency instead of being controlled by central economic planners, security will become AI security and defense systems and will be managed by competing security/robotics startups, and as automation and renewable energy/consumables take over, scarcity will be minimized. The future could surely be quite wonderful if we start working together and embracing our differences instead of the hate that is filling our world.
