I have found they feel that if they disparage and use the stereotypes for AA that racist whites use in America that somehow they will be accepted by those they see as the dominant culture and it will be easier for them to fit into white american culture, a culture they have surmised, and rightfully so, that is hateful toward AA . The dark skinned lower southern Asian populations and Vietnamese, Cambodians ect. are laughable in their racism, but feel their hair and usually fine facial features give them an edge with who they see as the dominant race because those self perceived attributes closely resembles white people. I got to Vietnam and heard more than once from Vietnamese, "you same, same monkey" and I even had one curious as to whether I had a tail. I postulate they learned this hate from racist white soldiers. Our brand of cultural racism is an infection that has caused a world full of people to hate. That's my take and I won't change it.
