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?

Lay off?
I wasn't trying to disqualify the message of racism or anything of that caliber, I was only trying to point out that there was a lot of what she was attacking in her argument.
I wasn't 'attacking the noob'...Her post just seemed to have too many statements that conflicted with her message.

Okay, no more of this.

but do you HAVE to point it out? you cant just take her message for what it is? its just an observation. you can either agree or disagree. theres no need to humiliate her.

edit:// and yknow.. when you're around people like that 24/7.. people who are ignorant and make fun of people of your own culture, just for kicks... well.. your opinion of everyone else can get a little skewed, if you know what i mean. you cant blame her if she feels more comfortable around people that have more in common with her. you cant blame her if she resents the "preps" that have annoyed her so much.
