I totally agree with you zboy1, as I am an Asian-American male, just like you are.
It's true. Racism against Asian males are tolerated or just swept under the rug. However, you have these white westerners going to East Asian or Southeast Asian nations, with the same mentality that they have while living here in the US, thinking that they should be treated like kings.
But when they step off the plane, especially in countries like Japan, S. Korea or China, the realize that they are the minority.
There are some white western guys who go to teach English in Korea, Japan, Taiwan, etc, with the main purpose of not educating students, but to have sex, knock some girl up, etc.
yes, racism and discrimination against us Asians are treated as "okay" here in the US. And that's what's f***ed up about the US.As for African Americans, I think that community suffers tremendously from racism (both institutional and otherwise), no doubt about it. I've seen some videos from Tommy Sotamayor and others, and boy, I thought the Asian American community was effed-up, but the African American community is in much worse shape. But again, people shouldn't discount racism towards Asian Americans. I suffered tremendous racism back in the States, and only when I left, did I heal and become a better person.
I honestly don't give a rat's ass about the black afro-american community because some of their leaders and media reps (i.e. Chris Rock, Steve Harvey) made racial jokes against Asians, and they got no repercussions about it.
Heck, there are so many black racist comedians who poke fun at the Asian community, yet the media does not censure them or the broadcasting company does not punish them. There is not repercussions against racism against us Asians.
However, if an Asian person were to make derrogatory and/or racist comments against black people, oh boy, he or she will get killed or the media will slander the Asian guy's reputation, stating to the world that he or she is a racist etc.
A good prime example is that f***ing black shit head, Stever Harvey who went on air to mock Asian male. One of his talk show episodes talked about a book that was published for Asian males were interested in dating. he asked "who the hell is interested in dating Asian males?" And people in the audience, including sucky sucky five-dolla sellout Asian women in the audience were laughing at this dindu's joke.
I forgot the first name of another black comedian, but his lastname is Chapelle. He too made a lot of stupid racist jokes towards Asians in his crap movie vidoes. One of them he said "konnichiwa bitches" when the women were Chinese people. So ignorant.
