Being racist to asians Options

[Saeglopur]

Sometime soon you kind of realize.. we're only human.

[jennyjenny]

Okay...

You guys are taking everything word for word about what I said... some things i exaggerate but whatever.

Ok, i guess this is just saying how in America, like, most places are probably gonna be caucasion people.

I mean, the school I go to, it has like, 10-20 african-americans, but they aren't even from my town. They're from another town because their schools are bad. My town is like, filled with caucasions.

And the people in my town, they're just weird. I mean, the girls that I talked about are being all racist and then joins something where the community has a lot of asians.

I mean, here, you hear at least 1 racist comment whether they're joking or not.

And like, everything is so... seperated at our school.
Like, the african-americans would sit with each other at lunch, and the asian people would sit with themselves. Heck, I sit with 2 other asians.

And maybe I used to word "prep" in a bad way. But sorry, that's what I call them and probably the rest of the school cause everyone in my damn town labels people. I mean, some people call me a freakin "chinese goth" when I'm not even goth.

And the teachers, they always mistake me and my other 2 friends.. we don't even look alike, and they probably mistake us because we're all asian.

Yeah.

[xquizit]

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.

Yeah, so just accept people are ignorant and let them continue their ignorant ways. Right. That sure makes for a better society.

That is the wrong attitude to have towards such a serious issue. Racism is not something to take lightly. Sure, its everywhere and it may not ever change for the better. But that doesn't mean that we should just accept it. If we continue to just ignore or not make a big deal out of it, how can we expect things to get better?

For example, if African Americans didn't take a stand and demand their rights, segregation may still be in effect today. There would also be even more racist attitudes towards black folks than there already is today. But because of folks like Martin Luther King Jr. who made an effort and spoke out against racism, things have improved immensely, and not just for them but for other minorities as well.

There is no real solution to racism. But we must not allow it or simply accept it. What we CAN do is to rid people of their ignorance and speak out against it. If someone makes a racist remark towards your race or any other, discuss it with them and correct their misjudgement. Don't sit there and laugh or just get angry and not say a thing.

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.

Did I say I was from Korea?!? No I said im Korean..im half and i was born in Portugal. my mom was from Korea.And I meant he said it directly to me!!There is no other korean girls on my bus...he also ASSUMES korean ppl r chinese( my friend Sam is full korean and Micha calls him chinese) Im not the only one that gets offended when ppl call me chinese(no offence) me and my friend Sam juss try to ignore it but it gets annoying..and i wasnt makin a big deal out of it im was juss tellin ppl that im sick of it.i kno its not gonna stop but ppl need to keep their mouth shut!

Im not tryin to overreact im juss tellin u how i feel bout it and im not b*tchin bout it

btw wat he said isnt funny..he thinks koreans do good at it..HE THINKS!!!

[xquizit]

Im not tryin to overreact im juss tellin u how i feel bout it and im not b*tchin bout it

You have the right to be angry about it. You dont' need to explain yourself.

[rhqtpie]

yea racism is stupid but like i don really think the ppl were tryin to be racist when they ask u to say somethin in ur language, i think thas jus outta curiosity. like i have an indian friend and an arabic friend and ppl ask them to say stuff in their language too. i think they're jus curious cuz its somethin different from english or spanish and they jus wanna hear it. but yea if they make fun of it though then thas stupid

[pimpin231]

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?

suck it up i lived in nc you want to talk about racist hahahahah you dont know what that is

[*[2]Nekked*]

suck it up i lived in nc you want to talk about racist hahahahah you dont know what that is

um no.

[swe3txprincesz]

i consider my self kinda lucky. i live in bergenfield and its like all filipino so there are some racist people against us but i just ignore it

[melface]

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.

maybe after three pages of this, only asians were mentioned, because THE ONLY PEOPLE POSTING IN THIS TOPIC ARE ASIAN. they never SAID that other races werent discriminated against.. why? BECAUSE THEYRE ASIAN. NOT EVERY OTHER RACE. (discluding me)

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.

right. and you dont have control over people who are naturally offended by racism and discrimination, right? it goes both ways. so maybe you should just practice what you preach and get over 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...

trying to be funny in a racist way? its a racist joke. get real.

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

she was making an observation. she didnt say anyone had to do anything about it. and further more, if you dont like this topic and how people are bitching about it, then why even waste your time with it? stop reading it, maybe? obviously no ones going to stop bitching just cuz u said "stop bitching"

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

um.. how is that hypocrisy? if caucasion people were the only people that have been racist to them in their lifetimes, i dont see how thats their fault.

me on the other hand.. i have black relatives who are racist towards me because im asian. and i have asian relatives who are racist to me because im black. i have french and russian relatives that are just racist all together. there. no hypocrisy there, right?

i think the only person really bitching about something that will never change is you. being hurt and offended by racism and discrimination is a natural reaction. you cant do anything about it. we have a right to be offended. but i dont see why you have to bitch at us about it.

[waccoon]

Err.

No drama, please?

[*[2]Nekked*]

Err.

No drama, please?

what drama?

edit://maybe we should put this in debate

[melface]

Err.

No drama, please?

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.

[*[2]Nekked*]

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.

[juliar]

Wait, can we like all stop?
Thanks, and please, no one go back in response to neither trish nor mel's replies because youre just gonna add fuel to the fire.
Yeah.

So, I think that in new york, there isnt much racism as we are really diverse, and even in my private school, where most are white, they dont have many stereotypes on me. so its good. im clean.

[inthemudhole]

I'm not joining in.

All I'm going to contribute that any racial jokes/slurs/etc. are totally unacceptable. They're just RUDE.

im not trying to start drama. im just responding to what she says. mels my friend; we just have two totally different perspectives.

disagreeing =/= drama

edit://

i think the only reason kids our age are still racist today is because they were raised that way.. they dont really know any better (unles theyre just morons..) i mean.. my cousins are racist.. but theyre really good people otherwise.. their parents are the ones who made them this way...

the right thing would be to learn about all this when you're in school... starting from a young age... i mean learning about how racism is stupid and etc... believe it or not, some schools dont even teach about black history, or any of that, so the kids grow up being completely oblivious to it all, and end up having a skewed perspective.

[christiee_nax]

fuk racism

i remember this one time during maths class this chinese girl who sat across the aisle from me and she got 1 mark off perfect and she was all complaining and then this guy was like "why the fuk are you complaining? you're like one of the highest" and then this italy-born guy was all "thats coz she's chinese. she wants to be perfect in everything" and stuff. stereotype is that chinese and asians and such are supposed to be braniacs or something. but hey, they cant help it if theyre fuking smarter than them.

lol but racism to white people happen too. like one time during english class (in this class, there were tons of asians) and then this guy started calling this white guy 'milk boy'. for obvious reasons. lol.

soo.. yah.

[bobbster]

Yeaa.. I don't think racism will ever stop. Everybody stereotypes (some more than others). I don't make much of a deal about it, but I do get annoyed. Especially when people do that Ralph Macchio "crane" stand and say "haaii-yaww!" =___=

why do you call it "ralph macchio crane stand?"

it really is a stance in crane formation kung fu

[chopstix-ninja]

My school imports (buses) kids in from different areas, to be diverse. So the kid sitting to the right of me is asian and the kid on the left is samonian..

[s0emotionalx3]

I totally agree with everyone about the ching chong stuff. I rememebr in elementry school everyone would ask me how to say _______. I was never really bothered by it though because they were just curious. THe ching chong stuff really bothered me beccause i guess it's just stupid to make fun of another lang.

But in a way you are stereotyping. I'm chinese, but a lot of times i can't tell the real difference between chinese and other asian races. I can see why you would be bothered by it, but it's really not a big deal because I'm sure you can't figure out everyone's true nationality just by looking at them too right?

And the stereotyping thing, some people do have a point. I'm considered a prep at my school, and no, I wouldn't consider myself "white washed". But the thing is, I'm chinese and Im a prep. I admit it. You don't see me thinkinga bout my appearance all the time, painting my nails, putting down other races or anything. The thing is, racism is everywhere. Just learn to accept it or make a joke out of it. You're not going to be able to stop it. And racism doesn't happen with just one group. A lot of asian parents are racist to other races Im sure. So just try to get over it. I mean, I know how it feels but things like these can only bother you if you let it.

[luckyxi3]

i get a lot of remarks of being "chinese-looking" but i`m really not chinese i`m filipino and it pisses me off when people ask me if i can speak chinese or not. the majority of my school are black people.. with some asians and whites and hispanics. anyways.. in class we would always talk about racism against black people. i mean i KNOW it`s a huge thing in history but the teachers act like there are no other races that endured racism in the past. i mean in the hallways, if a black person were to crack a joke on an asian person it would be funny hilarious, but if that joke was on a black person, they would get sooo pissed off and call that person a racist. which i don`t get at all and it annoys the fcuk out of me! the only jokes they have are saying "ching chong chow" and "lemme get chinese food/fried rice".

school teaches you about not being racist but it doesn`t really change how you act OUTSIDE of school or even in the hall way. sounds negative.. but it`s the truth. if it`s not racism, its stereotypical.
