Re: The Other Side of the Model Minority Myth (Score: 1)

(User Info | Send a Message) | To answer your question, let me quote a statement from the previous article:
"...A white man sided with me, and in thirty seconds I was sitting their silent, listening to the sublimated rumble I had let loose between blacks and whites..."
Mai-Sai-Le, there is your answer in a nutshell. Asian-Americans have already chosen their ally(ies). They're allies are Anybody But Black, but especially white men and women. Asian-Americans have already taken a look at the socio-economic, socio-political and cultural landscape of America and have consciously chosen to treat white men better than they treat black people. It is all about white supremacy.
The ignorant, thuggish black people in America are lumped in the same category with descent, law-abading, friendly black people.
When a white person commits a crime against an Asian-American, it is seen as an unfortunate exception. When a black person does it, then the whole race gets an indictment.
A black man who is open and embracing of Asian-Americans get a rude awakening, insensitive treatment and an elbow.
A white man who is open and embracing of Asian-Americans is greeted with a warm smile and Asian hospitality.
It goes directly to the skin color of African-Americans. We are not white, therefore, we are not treated the same way. Asians do not like black people's skin, so they are as indifferent to blacks as white people.
The social and education disparaties of black people compared to white and Asian-American people reflect a deep divide in our country.
There was a recent study done by Princeton University about racism in New York City. It's findings presented proof that a white male job applicants who had been convicted of a felony was just as likely if not more likely to receive a follow-up call for an entry level job, than a black man who had never had any contact with the criminal justice system.
Now how sick is that.
When you look at poor race relations between blacks and Asian-Americans, you have to wonder if it is more than skin deep. This I have witnessed with my own two eyes. |

"Then a black woman, a Harvard graduate, angry with my question, grilled me with comments like, "Do you really think that you deserve to go to college? No one deserves to go to college.""
Mai-Sai-Le, there is your answer in a nutshell. African-Americans have already chosen their ally(ies). Their allies are Only Black & White, but especially American-born Africans. African-Americans have already taken a look at the socio-economic, socio-political and cultural landscape of America and have consciously chosen to treat European-American women better than they treat non-black/white people. It is all about white supremacy.
The ignorant, apathetic asian people in America are lumped in the same category with fully-aware, friendly asian people.
When a white person commits a crime against an African-American, only the perpetrator gets accosted. When an asian person does it, the entire asian community in the city gets vandalized.
An asian man who is open and embracing of African-Americans get a rude awakening, insensitive treatment and an elbow.
A white man who is open and embracing of African-Americans is greeted with a warm smile and African hospitality.
It goes directly to the appearance of Asian-Americans. We are not black or white, therefore, we are not treated the same way. Africans do not like the appearance of asians, so they are as indifferent to asians as white people.
The social and education disparaties of African-American people compared to European-American and Asian-American people reflect a deep divide in our country.
There was a recent study done by Princeton University about affirmitive action. It's findings presented proof that if race and ethnicity was ignored in university applicants(ie. no more affirmitive action), ethnic Asian population in universities would rise nearly +8%, ethnic African population would fall nearly -6%, and ethnic European acceptance rate would stay relatively the same.
Now how sick is that.
When you look at poor race relations between African-Americans and Asians, you have to wonder if it is more than physical appearance. This I have witnessed with my own two eyes. |
