Being racist to asians Options

[jennyjenny]

Alright, I seriously need to say something about this racism in my town. Tell me what you think:

Ok, my town is like, 90% white people. The town I used to live in like, 7 years ago was more white. It was more like 99.9% of whites. And they would always be like "ching chong chang" and me and my brother didn't exactly "fit in" cause we were chinese. So we moved to another town where probably 85% were asian. It was good but then we moved to this shit town. Ok, I hate the fact that they always ask me "can u speak chinese?". I mean, that's like asking if you can speak another language, i don't see what's so cool about it. If u wanna know how to speak it, get off your lazy ass and learn.

In 7th grade, there was this one kid, Devin. And he would be all "asians drive bad" and " asians are short ". Stereotypical stuff. And all this other shit. So one day I go online and see this girl (one of those people you would call popular and preppy and all they care about is there makeup, you know) and her profile would be all " omg im scared to go to the nail salons again cause the stupid chinks would probably break my nail or something". Ok, first of all, chinks, that word is like saying "nigga". I mean, you can say the word to other people of your own race but if you say that and you're not that, don't say it, it's offending. And second of all, it's more vietnamese people who own nail salons. So this girl, she goes and gets xanga. Xanga is probably like 95% asian. And that is stupid because first she's talking about chinks and then she joins something where the community is 95% asian. Okay?

So, 8th grade, Devin has gotten over the whole asian thing (kinda) and I have to sit with 5 other people in spanish and they act racist EVERY DAY. Asking questions like "are u part of the asian invasion?" or "i should use these eyes, they look like chinese eyes" and then does that fag thing where you make it look like an effing alien. And all these other shit.

I mean, you might think racism has stopped, but it seriously is going on everywhere. What are your opinions?

Yeah, I know that she was trying to point out that Xanga is a largely asian-based community. But why even bring that up? I don't think that it's necessary to use that loosely based statistic to strengthen her argument.
You can't attack that girl based on the fact that she joined a 'large asian community' while being racist to them.
"Haha, omigod, what an idiot, this dumb bitch hates chinks, but she has a Xanga."
Really, I think that's a weak argument.

Tell me that there isn't a hint of closed-mindedness in that statement. Tell me how strong and credible that argument is, while standing the ground of trying to promote open-mindedness, racial equality and the elimination of ignorance through racism.

so what if it was a weak statement? does it matter? you get her point. i dont understand why people are so quick to "pwn" the noobs. lay off man, shes like.. what.. 13?

edit:// if i was in her position (which i was for three years) i would be pretty pissed off (which.. again, i was for three years.) i dont think theres even a hint of racial inequality in her post. shes just saying how she feels. the people there are incredibly close minded. (ten times more close minded then you think her post seems).

and even if that part of the argument was unecessary.. SO WHAT? she used it anyways. what are you going to do about it? just leave her alone. all shes saying is that there seems to be a lot of racism going around in her area. nothing more. nothing less. so stop picking her post piece by piece and overevaluating them. shes not MAKING an argument. shes making an observation.
