And the delicious clanger is that within that 74% are thousands upon thousands of Asian and Indian Americans
we weren't talking about billionaire privilege we were talking about white privilege do you think all white people are billionaires? So you don't think there is anything in between project housing and Park Avenue? If you don't like where you live you can change the place around you which is very difficult or you can work hard make good grades and one day be able to leave there that's easier. Are you saying black people just can't do that why what's wrong with them? It's the big bad ole white boogie man keeping them there? If there's anybody I can blame for keeping them there it's the people making excuses for them. You and all the other people claiming that they'll never get anywhere so don't even try because it's a white man's world. To toss your hands up and give up is the tragedy not that white people's parents have a higher likelihood of staying together.
Empathy? Seriously? You're aware that there are people elsewhere who are being starved and/or pummeled by wars and so forth, I take it. But you expect empathy (and probably sympathy) for ultra-safe westerners who choose loafing and fast food instead of education?
Bull. There are plenty of places you can go to where you'll not only be spat on and abused in the street (for being white), but also refused service in stores etc. When you try to make this only about certain parts of America, you reveal this argument as the horrendously insular and weak thing that it is.
Actually, you do have a point there. It's very very bad for black Americans, currently. At least Asians are free to choose.
Yes...and they still are. Ever hear of the Bataan Death march? The Rape of Nanking? The Japanese are very racist, they're just more polite about it than some people in the US. Stick to the United States so you can view the world through a very narrow tube? No. Sorry, dear.
There is no prejudice against poor people. There is only prejudice about the way people present themselves. If you don't 'fake it til you make it', you're sending the message that you are content to remain 'trailer trash' or the POC equivalent. And why on earth would you want to correct anyone for regarding such people as that which they are? They have CHOSEN to stay trashy, because it's what they want and like (presumably .. else why choose it?) .. so in fact you insult them by pretending you think they're something else
Utter tripe. Ask among your average Chinese or Indian American if they have difficulties in any of the above areas. If your country is anything like mine (white western, yet multicultural society), and most will say no. In which case your argument is rubbish.
Speaking of Chinese, they have a word for people in the West who drone on about things like "white privilege": Baizuo (white left). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baizuo
Native Americans indeed have many if the same problems,,,they too are seen as an underclass. Which ones do Chinese Americans face?
Ok..let’s bomb Rwanda and Serbia as well. Great distraction from what is happening here We never should have fought for women’s rights because women have it worse in other countries.
Yes, hilarious isn't it. You should hear what they say, and how loud they laugh, when there are no white Progressives present
That quote is bang on, meantime. Trust the sensible, hard working, and practical Chinese to ram it so very precisely where the sun don't shine.
They do not face any problems not also faced by Chinese Americans, and Indian Americans. Unless you're saying that America isn't really racist after all? And that it really is about the choices you make, and how determined you are to get ahead? Meantime, Chinese Americans face some racism, and institutionalised obstacles to universities and collages (due to their domination of academic rankings). But gee whizzy, they're not lying down, defeated. Instead, they laugh and point, then get on with beating whitey at 'his own game'. Education, hard work, and financial success.
Those poor Asians ..victims of being stereotyped as smart. Let’s segregate them and tell them they are inferior for a few generations...and let’s shun them
Yet another innocent black man remains in prison for a crime he did not commit: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/david-...ted-in-2001-murder-case-still-awaits-release/ A Missouri man hopes to walk out of prison today after serving nearly two decades for a murder he did not commit, in a case one judge called "manifest injustice." David Robinson was kept behind bars, even though another man confessed to the crime in 2004. Robinson isn't the only one who says he's innocent; in February, a state judge agreed with him, and two weeks ago, the Missouri Supreme Court ordered his release. And yet, Robinson remains in prison. "Been a living nightmare. It's been an up-and-down rollercoaster," Robinson told "48 Hours" correspondent Erin Moriarty ... The solution to situations like this is to throw the cops and prosecutors who are responsible for this in jail for the next 20 years. When thousands of cops and prosecutors suffer the=is same fate, it will go a long way towards healing all racial troubles in the USA. Let's have all the forum right wingers agree.
