Kathryn Zhu is an idiot. Period. She’s part of a group of young conservatives of color who feel comfortable rubbing shoulders with white nationalists. There are others like Zhu, such as Proud Boys Chair Enrique Tarrio, insurrectionist Ali Alexander and writer Michelle Malkin, who’s of Filipino descent. Malkin, once a nationally-syndicated columnist, has been axed from mainstream media for associating with neo-fascists such as Nick Fuentes. Fuentes is also a Holocaust denier.

“Young Americans for Freedom promptly fired Malkin while denouncing racism and antisemitism. Prior to her firing, during a November 14, 2019 speech, Malkin announced that the white supremacist ‘great replacement’ theory ‘isn’t a conspiracy theory’ but rather a ‘conspiracy fact,’” according to Angry White Men, a website the far-right.
