The real reasons the U.S. became less racist toward Asian Americans

[Luxman]

A lot of what you’re describing sounds familiar today — the economic anxiety bleeding into racial anxiety, the targeting of outsiders …
Absolutely. There are a lot of resonances. What’s happening today didn’t spring out of nowhere — it has a very long history in the United States.

Horseshit. The real reason is white males infatuated with the fantasy that Asian women were subservient nymphomaniacs started intermarrying them. A bunch of Marines brought back Filipina women they met when they went to Okinawa and places like that. Some of these men were butt ugly but some rather good looking Filipinas would still be with them. My dad used to call the guys "Rice Kings". dudes that could only get little brown fucking machines. No offense Dino. I know you bagged all kinds of women.

When did "asian" started to be a culture ?
What constitues that so called "asian culture".
If an asian guy listens to Beyonce or Jay-Z and likes to wear "street-wear" clothes, does he belogs to the asian culture or the black culture ?

Is it possible that you're just using the word "culture" when you would rather use the word "race" if it wouldn't make you a blatant racist ?

Um.. if every member if a race were the same or behaved the same, we'd say "race".
But since there isn't monolithic behavior assigned to any race we will say culture.
Stop being so simple minded while trying to make your point.

ahh, yes, the racism charge. the first refuge of piece-of-shit leftists. There is a difference between race and culture. Race is hereditary, biological, etc. Culture is traditions, upbringing, values, BEHAVIOR.

And yes, there is an asian sub-culture in America and it has little to nothing to do with what some kid listens to. As someone who is bi-racial AND multicultural (my moms is OG), I've experienced this firsthand.

Having lived overseas in multiple countries I've seen and lived among other cultures. And yes, some cultures are shittier than others.

It's always about the pussy, there's really no surprise that Captain Kirk was an intergalactic fucking machine, but wouldn't hesitate to fuck up the alien bros.

Tome there's no such things as "asian culture". There's a japanese culture, which is different from the chinese culture, which is different from the vietnamese culture, etc. These people don't even have religion in common : Chineses and vietnameses are mostly buddhist while japaneses are mostly taoists.

Contrary to black folks, asians folks are from very different up-bringing mostly because they came to western countries recently, -something like 2 or 3 generations ago- when black folks have been in the US for centuries.

What do you mean by "these people" huh? jk

Believe me, there is an Asian culture and we're just biding our time until we take over.

Oops, I said that out loud.

The Japanese have a culture as do the Chinese, the Vietnamese, the North and South Korean. They have their own traditions and rituals. You never hear of them in the news, they don't loot, burn cars or assault law enforcement personnel. They work hard and are dedicated efficient workers. I know several asian people who have high ranking positions whether in Europe or in the USA.
The ghetto thug mentality which consists of looting, racketeering, raping and killing, we know very well from which neighborhoods it originated and who lives in there, it is the same in France. So stop being so sensitive when one adresses you the harsh cold reality but that you can't deal with it. You instead always moan and whine racism like the spineless and worthless socialists pos who can't stand people who think differently from them and the socialists are far to be the example of patriotic people.

simple, they believe in American values of equality and rewarding hard work.

 

[Rey C.]

At the height of American racism toward various groups (Blacks, Mexicans, Jews, Indians, Asians, etc.), the racism or bigotry wasn't usually based on real threats posed by those groups. It was more based on maintaining the "social order" or hierarchy, where White Anglo Saxon Protestants were at the top of the heap. Even White Catholics were looked down upon and discriminated against, in the North and (especially) in the South. John F. Kennedy being a Catholic was a BIG DEAL in 1960 America. From the forming of the Republic up through the 1950's and into the 60's, there was more of a class system here than many want to admit. It wasn't as rigid or structured as the various 19th Century European aristocracies, but it did exist. Even for Whites, there was a blue blood class and there was the poor White class - and they did not mingle. There was more of an effort then than now to make sure that people "knew their place". We don't really have that for any group these days - certainly not in legal terms and not even in social terms.

I read the Washington Post piece in the OP, and though I understand the premise, I'm not sure that I agree with all of it. I'm not sure how one would accurately measure racism in quantitative terms, because the exclusionary laws and practices of the last century are now illegal. So much of what was mentioned in the piece really CAN'T legally exist now. From restrictive deed covenants, which prevented present and future owners of real property from selling to members of prohibited groups (non WASPS), to broad Jim Crow like laws that applied to various groups on a sliding scale, those are all illegal because of various civil rights laws. But really, I just don't think that the nation on whole (or the world) is as racist or "classist" as it once was. Maybe Asians have seen a more dramatic reduction in racism than other groups in relative terms. I just don't know you'd measure that relative movement.

As for people who want to quote crime stats or supposed social issues to justify their feelings about one group or another, that's called rationalization. Whether it's the KKK or N.O.W., the weak minded among us tend to do that. Their feelings would be the same, but now they have a "reason" to lean on.

Also don't hate themselves to the point they commit acts of mass self-genocide on the streets of inner cities being a general embarassment to their own race then wonder why people of other races have no respect for them and want nothing to do with them.

You couldn't possibly have missed your main man Clint's movie "Gran Torino", could you?
The USA has plenty of very active, very violent Asian gangs.

"The 15th Amendment to the Constitution granted African American men the right to vote by declaring that the "right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude." Although ratified on February 3, 1870, the promise of the 15th Amendment would not be fully realized for almost a century. Through the use of poll taxes, literacy tests and other means, Southern states were able to effectively disenfranchise African Americans. It would take the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 before the majority of African Americans in the South were registered to vote."

"A recent study in 2012 raises a different concern, showing that Hispanics and blacks receive considerably longer sentences for the same or lesser offenses on average than white offenders with equal or greater criminal records."

Feels like a cultural difference problem to me...does no one else feel it?

@ that article. I think it's wrong to target blacks but it's NEVER wrong to target hippies.

A- most hippies think they're targets anyway

And

B - those that don't are paranoid so think they're being targeted. :dunno::rofl2:

tsk. So misguided.
Hippie chicks were awesome. Low rider, hip hugger jeans framing legions of Taylor Rain-like asses. Gravity defying young breasts unfettered by bras. Sensual bare midriffs and backs. Eager, joyful experimentation of the Kama Sutra. Spending the night; optional. No phone call necessary the next day. Those were the best of times, my young friend
