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?

Hahahahaha... Oh man...

Why not just f*cking accept it? You don't have control over any people... Racism is always going to exist... even if the government tried to do something about it.

It is a joke, by the way. He aimed it towards koreans because he was trying to be funny... I didn't f*cking say it WAS funny...


Are you people, honestly, that blind? I guess so.

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.

Well, I assumed it because after three pages, no other race was mentioned.

why are you overreacting?

I'm not.

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.

I guess we'll never know WHY he said 'korean', huh? I never said the joke was funny.

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.

Like I said before, we have NO control over these people... So, you're just wasting your time... Let's be a tad bit more realistic.

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.

Sure, go ahead and speak up about it... but tell someone that can actually DO something...

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

... Maybe you guys should learn how to deal with society before crying over it... Sure, go ahead and let it out about how you feel about the subject... but I'm tired of all these people assuming things... thinking everything is 'racist' without putting any thought of understanding into it... Brush it off your shoulders, people... There's a slight chance that people will stop being 'ignorant and racist' in your favor... but that is going to take some time... probably a long time... So, stop complaining about it and deal with it now... It's going to be like this for a while.

edit// Aren't any of the other races that are not caucasian racist and ignorant, as well? Hmm... hypocrisy.
