That’s fine. In the US, it’s a dog whistle for Nazis. It’s not gatekeeping when it is simply factual. There’s a giant facility off the highway here in Nebraska called “Tactical 88” (with a logo that’s quite literally based on a nazi symbol: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichsadler) that is 100% a nazi training facility. They even have a giant billboard that says “free AR-15 for signing up”.
Fascists love to use it all over the place. So here, in this context, it has a very specific meaning. And when we are dealing with a fascist takeover of our goddamn country, we have every fucking right to tell Nazis using nazi dog whistles to fuck off.

Chinese folks live in the US too. There’s a popular Asian-american music label called 88 rising.
