what won't happen again??Racism towards Asians?Bitch I go through it everyday.Jews own the media, both Jews and blacks dominate when many blacks are the biggest redneck racist I know.

You know what, this one Asian lady doesn't represent all Asians, don't put us in a box and generalize hypocrit.There are still slaves in AFrica owned by other black Africans and slavery still exist in the world okay?The Europeans have stamped out most slavery in Africa yes they won't buy anymore slaves from the AFricans.Go get an education.

Yes, I'm aware. But you know what, it's like slavery, it'll never happen again. I mean, do you think anyone in the west will ever own black slaves again? Absolutely not.

I don't have any problem with Asians wanting to enter politics, by all means. I just think they ought to set a good example, you know? Why not embrace color blindness yourselves?

You are probably some dum racist black bitch or some dum white person.The media and society is anti-Asian and they refuse to give us a voice.I'm not wasting my time anymore.

heehee,I've had them call me racial slurs, play dirty tricks on me, you know stuff like that.With some politically power, ppl won't fuck with you as much.Like blacks have the NAACP in their favor.But I won't get into too much details with what I've been through, I won't exploit myself for your pleasure.You don't get it.

[Bestialwrath]

No, the theory goes that it is Jews that own the media, not blacks. That's a new one for me though.

Any amount of political power isn't going to change the fact that some people really hate Asians. You can either learn to live with it, or remain in a place where such people know they aren't welcome (San Francisco?).

I'm curious as to what kind of racism you're referring to. I've known some Asians that would get upset if you gave them chopsticks instead of a fork.

keep on with your half-baked ideologies you conjure up because you have nothing better to do.Loser.You are the hypocrit.Go drink your beer and mate with your sheeps.

what Asian leaders do you know?Have you heard about the law that forbade Asians to immigrate here in the 1800s virtually cutting off Asian Americans with their family overseas or the Japanese internment?I know they don't emphasize that in the history books.

*Correction*

"whether or not a certain race has political power shouldn't even be noticed by those that espouse *color-blindness*." Multiracialists, however, are much more hypocritical, and certainly more racist.

[gurulao101]

It's not a colorblind melting pot, who owns the media?Jews and blacks.You wouldn't know how it feels to have ppl give you in your face racism on a daily basis without suffering any consequences because they know you have no voice in this society.I said Asians need some power, not should have dominant power.U missed the point.
