Why is racism towards asians tolerated?

[IamRAMBO24]

I've been getting a lot of racist remarks from righttocensor and other posters. I don't mind if it's in a joking manner, but the way they are going about it is derogatory and a pathetic attempt at "getting him back." Some of the things some of these posters say about asians they won't dare to say about black people or any other race, but for some reason it's somehow ok to be racist towards asians. I can understand if they disagree with some of the points I make, but attack the points, not my race.

It's not just ISH, but society as a whole. I mean you can call me sensitive or what not, but look at it from my point of view: if I won't tolerate racism against blacks, then why should I ignore it when it is directed at me? Racism is racism. Just because I'm asian it doesn't mean it's ok to be racist towards me.

Thanks.

If you don't like me, attack me for my posts. Why do you have to go the race route? I might not be the best representation of asians and I'm not trying to be. I don't want them to be hated just because of me. Trust me, most asians aren't as brazen as me. I shouldn't be the poster child of my race.

If it's based on looks, then goddamn every asian would want me to be the poster child, as is, it's based on representation, and trust me, the asians in here are cringing at the sh*t I say and want no part of it, so it's sad they are getting hated on because of me.

Liberals and progressives mostly just care about blacks even though they make society dumber. "Diversity" really means black.

White people don't get offended

[IamRAMBO24]

And trust me, I'm prob the only asian who will get offended by this sh*t. Most asians will brush it off and pretend they don't speak english to ignore you, but a part of my value system is to stand against racism, and since I've been actively fighting against racism towards black people (and whites when the blacks are hating on them), I see no reason why I should not stand up for my own kind.

It's not sensitivity. It's morals.

[IamRAMBO24]

White people don't get offended

White people get offended when racism towards them are overlooked just because they are white. I stood up for them, and it is a shame this group is showing racism towards my race when I stuck out my neck for them.

[FaceBack]

racism isn't spoken. Grow some balls. Everyone gets picked on for being different. That isn't racism. Racism comes in the context of violence or threats of violence.

[Raymone]

It's feigned and calculated. Something without a soul cannot be offended.

You're right, I am not a very social person. I cringe when I get a phone call; I hate it when someone I hardly know tries to have small talk with me; and even family members are complaining why I don't give them enough attention.

Still I should not be a representation of my race. Most asians are social; they will talk to you even if they can't speak english. They always have that happy go lucky smile on their face but in the back of their mind they think you're an idiot and will communicate it to their friends in their language so you won't understand. The typical asian is nothing like me.

I'm actually more american than I am asian; I was born and raised here; culturally this is all I know, so if I want to tell you something, I will say it to your face, and if you are going to hate on me, take a look in the mirror, but of course, imagine someone with better looks and a bigger d*ck. I am a concoction of YOUR culture.

The asians in here hate me. That should tell you something.

No worries Rambo. You serve a very specific purpose of breaking the "smart asian" stereotype. Even Asians have people as dumb as you.

What do you mean "this group." :coleman:

This group as in white people .. I think there was a thread back then where it was about racism and I was the one with the balls to say the racism directed towards them is wrong .. and blacks are having too much leeway to hate .. I mean, I got banned for that sh*t .. and then now my white brothers are hating on my race and not standing up for me .. that's just sad and a total b*tch move.

So I was correct to use that emoticon. You are saying racism against white people is wrong, but then you proceed to be racist towards white people. :confusedshrug:

C'mon Myth I know you're smarter than Kev. The topic was about racism; and I made a slight suggestion that racism against white people are also wrong although they were responsible for slavery; and this generation of kids have never had the luxury of a slave, so why should they be hated for what their ancestors did? My conclusion was that calling a white person a cracker is as bad as calling a black person a n*g. Although I didn't sound as eloquent, I stood up for the white posters and was banned for it.

I think it's a bit two face that the racist posters toward me happens to be white. Just saying.

I have no idea what was going on in that thread, I was simply referring to you grouping white people together and calling them out as a group as a racist thing. I was pointing out that the quoted post was hypocritical because of that.

[bdreason]

I think it's more acceptable in our society because people don't generally see Asians as victims. I can tell you most the Asians I know are well-educated, hard-working, highly motivated individuals.

Don't take it seriously. Whenever you feel as of you're being targeted by discrimination just think of what blacks went through, or the Jews, and look how far we've came. To the point where hating homosexuals is offensive or wrong.

You'll come across racist remarks, jokes, but try not to take them to the heart. Have some fun with it.

eh... watch fox news. You will change your mind.

I think its more acceptable to casually make fun of/insult asians, because they arent as culturally apart of american heritage as say, native americans, blacks, or latinos. also despite discrimination such as, building the railways, how we treated asian gold prospectors, immigration quotas, head taxes, japanese internment camps, anti asian riots, etc. It is still clear that Latinos and especially native americans and blacks have suffered much worse than asians in american history. So there is less white guilt.

Mexican americans had more than half of their country stolen, unjustly.
Native American's had all of their lands stolen and white people committed genocide against them/ethnically cleansed them
Black people were enslaved. African slavery was notable for how brutal/dehumanizing it was. Also jim crow laws.

Asians (in america) also never really organized to make a big deal about it. (eg. who is the asian equivalent of jesse jackson, al sharpton, cornel west, etc)

Also they don't have movements like the chicano movement or organizations like the NAACP. They arent politically organized (eg. the black and hispanic congressional caucuses have clear political agendas (for blacks addressing issues like the disparity in incomes and net worth, between blacks and whites, and other things like criminal sentencing, representation on juries, voter suppression, etc.) (hispanics care about a wide range of issues, such as immigration reform, pathways to citizenship, not breaking up families via deportation, access to education and social services, etc))

I think it has something to do with the fact that asians historically mostly come from countries without strong democratic traditions and arent used to politically organizing to advocate for their interests, on a cultural level. despite the fact that at this point asians are actually a significant portion of the american population (4.7%) they really unlike blacks and latinos, dont have a concerted political voice/pov.

[mr.big35]

because they dont have al sharpton and jesse jackson. if you say offending thing about blacks al sharpton and jesse jackson have their protests;
