Do you guys think this is true on certain levels? Do believe that Asians, especially the older generations, tend to stereotype African Americans more often than other races?
I do. All my life, my parents always have this negative view towards the black community; I grew up with my parents telling me African Americans are this and they are that. My parents' actions scream out racism. In the car, whenever a black male dressed in casual, street clothes walks by, my dad would lock the car doors. He never does this when an asian man or white man walks along the streets next to the car. To him, all African Americans would try to: break in and steal the car; hold a gun to his head and demand his wallet and any other valuables; or even both. Also, I remember when I had this group of black friends in elementary school, my parents told me to stop talking to them because apparently they are dumb, stupid people who are dirty and unclean. I still don't know why they think that way. Perhaps because of the fact that, in the past, African Americans were slaves, many Asians look down upon them. Perhaps since black males overrepresent the perpetrators of violence and crime, many Asians believe that most if not all African Americans lie, steal, cheat, rape, or kill. I just don't understand why they judge a whole group of people based on the actions of the few. |

Well, I wouldn't know too much about this, but you do realize not only Asian people act this way, right?
Anywho, Americans kept Japanese people in concentration camps for a period of time after Pearl Harbor, so I don't think looking down on the African Americans for being slaves would be it, especially if you were Japanese. I don't know, I think a camp where you're kept to work only for the point of you dying is worse. |

QUOTE(disco infiltrator @ Oct 23 2005, 10:01 AM) Well, I wouldn't know too much about this, but you do realize not only Asian people act this way, right? no shit, hes asking asians more so than any other race. because asian people(s) in different countries, thanks to our media are probably misinformed about african americans, thus depicting them in a stereotypical way. which may be a stealing drug dealing ghetto thug. and the stereotyping will be passed down. |
