Specifically he is an Asian supremacist.
He promoted and voted for a bill, SB-5, that would re-introduce race-based college admissions to California universities after voters had banned it via the proposition process some years ago. He supported the bill up until California Asian voters cried foul, noting correctly, that race-based admission would not just harm White college applicants, but would particularly disadvantage Asian applicants - in favor of less-qualified Hispanics and Blacks.
Then, and only then did Ted Lieu withdraw his support from SB-5.
He was fine with a policy that would harm whites. That was OK with him. But not if it harmed his favored race, Asians.
Ted Lieu's racial pecking order:
Beckel is a complete maroon sometimes, but I like him.
Heck with Ted Lieu. Beckel was right. China does take advantage of America, and he’s speaking up.
Enough racist posturing.
