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?

He was just trying to be funny... I mean being korean + pigtails= a handjob and a blowjob? umm No, I think it's any girl + pigtails= blowjob with handlebars... He said the joke wrong...



Okay... I'm tired of you people complaining, though... You think YOUR race is the only one that is stereotyped and discriminated against? People ask me if I'm from Mexico all the time... Or if I speak "Mexican"... I just simply tell them No and that the language that is spoken is called Spanish... I tell them I'm from Panama... and I'm not bothered by them asking me. Why? Because it SHOULDN'T ... some of you really need to learn how to deal with people and society... You really need to get it through your head that that is just how people are going to be and quit your bitching about it. And if is bothering you THAT damn much... Then move back to your own country.

who said that asians were the only ones that have to deal with racism and stereotypes? i dont remember anyone saying that...at all.. just cuz there's a lot of asian people complaining about it doesnt mean that we think we're the only ones.

why are you overreacting?

and i dont see how thats funny. he directed it towards a single ethnicity. i'd call that racism if anything. he was trying to be "funny" by being racist. maybe the joke is "any girl with pigtails" but he didnt SAY any girl did he? he said koreans girls. maybe its a different joke. maybe you're trying too hard to turn this into nothing.

Just because racism will always be around, doesnt mean we cant complain about it. Maybe instead of us "quitting our bitching about it," they should quit being so ignorant and racist. and maybe you should quit your bitching about people who have problems with racism. let them bitch if they want. some people grew up in this world being raised to speak up about these issues. just cuz it happens every day doesnt mean we should all be silent.

And if is bothering you THAT damn much... Then move back to your own country.

that seems a little immature, dont you think? if us complaining about it bothers you so much, maybe you should just stop listening, and get off our backs
