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?

Why would we think the racism has stopped?

I'm curious.

Where do you live?

I suggest you start calling some people crackers.

Racism has been around since.. well.. probably even before Christ..

I'm not sure when the Jewish were around, but I heard a long time ago they were always pushed away, and that's messe dup. Racism will never end. Personally, I think at one point, every has been a racist, whether they say they are or say they are not.

Racism will never end and there are countless times that people have made fun of others because of their races. Although, it seems like you think that racism mainly happens to Asians, or that is what I see from your point of view in what you typed. There's so many racists that don't like African-Americans, Mexicans, Jewish, Canadians, etc. Racism is initially bad, but there's racism everywhere, so there's no absolute escape from it. Even if you lived in America, and then came to Asia or something, there will probably be people who would still make fun of you, saying you're too Americanized and whatnot.

Of course this is based on what I see. So don't take any to offense.

Hahaha... Racism will never stop.

Well, that's just life... that's society for you... but xanga is 95% asian? since when? Where'd you get that number from?

And... another thing you talk about them being stereotypical to chinese people or asians... but then a line or so down you said that preppy girls only cared about their makeup... Which is also a stereotype done on your part.

Why are they so amused with another language [chinese, in your case]? Well, it ISN'T an easy language to learn, first of all. I mean seriously, you act as if they can just get up and learn it... You may think it is just a breeze since it may be [and most likely is] your first language. I guess what I'm saying is just let them be curious about it...

As for the stereotypes... blame the rest of the society... blame the media..

I believe we got racism because that's the defining factor that makes one feel unique compared to another. Like in the Middle East, they're all Middle East, so they fight wars based on religion, because thats the defining factor that separates them. Raciscm will go away once other species (aliens) begin to introduce themselves. Then that'll be the defining factor, and we'll start comparing ourselves to other species in space. Racism will still exist, just in a much smaller scale, like when maybe..Muslim people would have a dissagreement with Christianity. It's not that big a deal these days. (in america)

So. That's just my flawed flawed thesis on Racism.

[miszkristinexox]

oh yes i hate that.

like today this kid in my ipc class was being a jerk [well yeah he is everyday to everybdoy] and talking to me in a 'chinese accent' so i went off on him on how im not chinese and how im filipino and spanish. but yeah what do expect from a kid whos does drugs after school, drinks, has no respect? didnt hurt my feelings it was just immature and retarded.

in my debate class theres this kid george and they are ALWAYS making racial jokes about him. like 'oh dont pick on george hes egyptian' or 'go back to egypt' or 'we can cut your head off because your egyptian' and etc etc. a- holes.

One of the biggest questions stereotypical people ask to Asians are "Do you speak Chinese?"

Yea, they're curious. I guess it's ok if they ask. Nothing bad about it.

But then some people follow up and go "Ching Chow Chong CHang choooo" (or something similar) and start cracking up.

Not funny.

BTW, Chinese is hella hard. Agreed.

1.] im not stereotyping them. They are serisouly all preppy and all they do care about is their make-up. And maybe their nails. I mean, all they talk about is " let's get our nails done!!!" or " my nail broke!! " or "omg my mascara is running!!"

2.] I mean, i don't care if they're amused about me speaking chinese. But most of the time, the would be all " omg can u say ____ in chinese!?? ". I mean, that is SO annoying...

Yeah.

[*x____duckii*]

I really hate it when people are so racist. I usually get made fun of cuz I'm 'white' and I'm pale and stuff like that. It's annoying.

P.S. I'm not white, just pale.

[melface]

Yeah, those people are ignorant.

You're wrong. And yes, you are stereotyping them. I know plenty of "preps" and they don't care about their makeup or their nails.

2.] I mean, i don't care if they're amused about me speaking chinese. But most of the time, the would be all " omg can u say ____ in chinese!?? ". I mean, that is SO annoying...

Well, apparently, they DO want to learn.

^^ Totally gotta agree with that. You can't ever find a preppy that doesn't care about their appearance. So I guess that what makes, err, a prep.

[PinkTrash]

racism sucks, but yeah it is everywhere alot o.o usually happens to the people, who are part of a minority in the society. I mean if there were more like 50% asians, do you think anyone would be saying shit then? yeah and it pisses me off sometimes too.. the driving jokes and all, theyre just stupid. people also think automatically that if youre asian you go out with an asian guy, which pisses me off, cuz i dont nessecarily always go out with asians.. and yeah. >.<"

What's wrong with caring about your appearance? Everyone should care about their appearance, really... It shows confidence and self-esteem. Or do you all just want to walk around looking like shit?

[whomps]

I usually don't hear racism comments at my school.. Everyone's pretty much nice. It's like 38% asian. And my middle school was 51% asian..

But I remember hearing this one chick talk about how a 'chino' flipped her off while driving? 'Can't drive for shit'

Did I ever say that was a bad thing?

[melface]

You made it sound as if only preps care about their appearance... umm no. So why do you people continue to categorize preps and holding stereotypes against them? Hmm?

[sunissed14127]

i will never think rasism has stopped. i never used to get made fun of for being mexican, until this year. some boys at school are always saying this joke to me:


Q: How do u start a mexican parade?

A:Roll a nickle down a hill.


now isnt that the gayest joke ever?? well anyways....so now almost everytime i see them they r always like "Anybody got a nickle?" or "Hurry up! Roll a nickle!"....argh..i wish it would just all stop.

[satisfied-tom]

the teachers and the yard duties at our school are all racist against asians. my school sucks.

[faithin_felix]

maybe you should pack your bags and move!

Ok, these "preps" including caring about their appearance, make fun of others and cheerlead. And wear expensive clothing and talk about their clothing. And guys.
