it is hard to be accepted as an Arab i don't have it that bad, but i have it.
what makes anyone believe that i am a lower form of life?if u wouldnt "waste your time" on me than i wont waste my time with you.keep it up magnetic north
eh, it's not really all that arrogant, because it's just like they're saying that we get stereotyped all the time and, being different, you still have to have pride, even if you don't follow the trend
people who misunderstand the meaning of this song aggravate me, well, those who don't get what has happened in the past. maybe the war isn't as known as others, but seriously. it's still something.
Double standard expectations add crap load of pressure while being an Asian American trying to survive and at the same time don't let it get to you. Magnetic North brings us the message to fight back racial injustice.
I have to disagree but you do make a good point that "in history, many chinese immigrants were considered spineless". The real question, who considered them spineless? Themselves? Others? Do you really think it's spineless to leave their family and go work abroad to send back money home, or start a new future, putting up with exclusionary acts, unlawful taxes (they weren't even citizens but still had to pay tax like slaves)?
Cowardice and yellow is its own color, don't confuse it with Asians.
Great lyrics. But i don't get the point, Racism against asians in america is lower than any other race. Maybe that's not how they ment it though, I might be wrong, so no flamming please.
A big stereotype of asians are "unable to speak up or defend themselves". In history, many chinese immigrants were considered spineless. Asians are associated with the color yellow...yellow can symbolize "cowardice". To fight the stereotype, they're speaking up.
Yea...racisim against asians isn't as common as others...nonetheless it's still important. I think that's the point their trying to make.
(they'll explain on their myspace, so we'll find out sooner or later the true meaning. ^_^)
meng, there are more asians down to finish up their shit. theres those who dont wanna cause trouble, because really, who wants trouble, but they'll finish up what needs to be finished. aint no cowardice in asians.
I don't think that "the point" is a scoreboard of who gets more racism than who, I think it's more to raise awareness of the issues. In relation to that I personally feel that awareness of racism towards asians is lower than any other race, but I guess that depends on what part of the U.S. you live in.
Atfirst, they meant it to be about the deportation of Cambodians but while they were writing the lyrics, they realized it could have a bigger broader meaning.

simpatic14 3 years ago
i'm just saying it could be a million other reasons than just giving up. maybe it's too hard.
for instance. i'm vietnamese, but i can't speak it.
ilovewhiterice 3 years ago
ok let me guess..you can't speak vietnamese but you can understand it..thats enough..atleast you could understand :) just like my cousin heh
simpatic14 3 years ago
even if you think it's enough, sometimes it isn't. how'd you know i understand it?
ilovewhiterice 3 years ago
It's not always that easy. Sometimes the words are just out of your grasp, but I suppose where there's a will, there's a way.
I was fairly shamed about this, but I went back to studying Chinese. I'm really proud I can carry a conversation in Mandarin now.

we will not be moved is so true
just cuz ur asian u dont have to speak it
just cuz ur a certain race, it doesnt mean u only have to hang w/ ur race
dont follow stereotypes guys
ppl could rap if they want to, dont have to play the cello, like the other asian ppl
the thing i hate the most is when they think one race is bettr than the other ones
