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?

Thank you, Nick...
Doesn't matter Trish, I know where I stand on this subject... and you have your own viewpoint... So whatever. Drop it... I really don't care anymore. Oh, and just one last thing... you totally missed the point. Over your head.

no actually i get your point. its just a stupid one.

you first talk about how only asians have been posting in this, and somehow that means they think theyre the only ones being victims of racism.

but thats wrong. just cuz the only people posting are asian, doesnt say anything about racism with other cultures. how about the people of other ethnicities post here and maybe it wont just be the asians, and you can stop the silliness.

you go on to say that what the kid said was just a joke and he was trying to be funny, even though you personally dont think it was.

well it doesnt matter. its still a racial joke. and people will still be offended by it.

you're saying people should just learn to deal with society and peoples ignorance, because racism will always be around, no matter what. it wont change, no matter how much u bitch about it. so stop being whiney and deal.

well thats just a crappy attitude to have either way, and hypocritical at that. theres nothing you can do about people being offended. people are always going to be offended. that is also how society works. people f*ck up, and others get offended, and its just one big cycle. so stop bitching to us about it and get over it. you're not helping anyone stop bitching by bitching yourself.

then you make an edit saying that the only racism mentioned was caucasians being racist to other ethnic groups.

but if the only people being racist to them for their entire lifetimes have been caucasian, i dont see how that can be helped.



if you really think i missed the point, then you obviously didnt read carefully enough, because i quoted each point and responded to it. i dont see how you could have missed THAT.
