[michmich1000]

poignant. it's admirable to see people stand up against racial slurs & the way they seem to 'accepted'. it's not okay & its not a compliment & neither are any of these slurs 'terms of endearment' dont be fooled

nice job Beau Sia

@TheHollyweirdFiles imagine if the Great Dr Martin Luther King just sat by and say nothing. the only way things will change is by adressing it.

Racist people are in all races! But the truth is there no such thing of races because there's only ONE Race! Even Asians DNA are traced back to Africa. And we don't got to ask white people where they come from because before the was a such thing called DNA black women was giving birth to white babies all over this nation. And that's America biggest secret! GOD Bless everybody!

@redsoxvette Not true, Chinese people are amongst the least racist people on earth. Lou Jing made it as a finalist on the show, and that could never happen if the Chinese viewers were racist like you claim. What would you know about Chinese culture anyhow, you're Mexican?

[PropzTV]

He spoke the truth... Bottom line, point blank.

[redsoxvette]

Chinese are some of the Racists people in the world. Try being black or brown or non Han-Chinese in China, its repulsive how in 2011 they are So blatantly racist. Take for example Lou Jing the Black Chinese girl and how the majority of the Chinese were so aggressively racist towards her just because of her skin color.

@WarnSiouxsie also if i let things korean media says about black people the little time black people are mentioned id hate the hell out of everybody in korea but that would make me stupid to rant/talk in excess about it...some people are privileged/uninformed/stupid about other people.....i worry about people who are smart and like everyone..not those who think what they are going to think anyway...

[TheHollyweirdFiles]

@WarnSiouxsie nope...but i have had asian/white/mexican people say racist things to my face...i dont write poems about them because everyone is diff...If anything i get the most crap from white/asian people but nothing a person does can tarnish my view/upset me enough to write poems about it...if i got fucked up over everything that happen id be a sad person! ive sat by while people have said nigger...ive said things and sometimes i say nothing...i cant change him and he cant change me...sadly!

[WarnSiouxsie]

@TheHollyweirdFiles The MEDIA. Songs, movies, tv shows, the jokes I'm sure you've heard... Just because not all white/black/asian/hispanic people are racist, should we remain silent towards the ones who are? Not all white men are racist (I think its safe to assume most aren't), but would you really sit by silently when one calls a black man the N word?

[WarnSiouxsie]

Thank you Beau Sia for addressing this issue that I struggle with. Racism towards any race is absolutely unacceptable. And perhaps I'm being "overly sensitive" as my white, Hispanic, black, even Asian friends say but every time they verbalize hateful stereotypes towards my "poorly driving, squinty-eyed, strongly accented" mother, I refuse to laugh along as they would have it. My mother with her PhD (not math) drives beautifully, has beautiful eyes, and speaks better English then they ever will.
