[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the posters flaming about AA and Asians, please get your head out of the ivory tower and look at how Asian immigrants treated AA customers in inner city neighborhoods as close by as Baltimore. My family is mixed race AA. I have many uncles and male cousins who married Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, and Filipina women while in the military. All provided a good introduction to Asian cultures for my family, but were deeply ashamed of how the Asian immigrant community treated poor blacks and frustration at what their DH and half-black DC face.[/quote]

I agree that the older generation (as in my parents' generation) but my own generation seems very different to me.  We make a concerted effort to unteach our children what our parents and the previous generation believed.  Discrimination against the races, be it between whites and blacks/asians or asians against blacks/whites or blacks against asians/whites, were prevalent in the old generation.  I feel a lot of the time I am judged because the previous generation did something that I would not imagine ever to do and it's disheartening to try to be better when you're constantly chastise for something you did not do.[/quote]

DP. Yes, it's disheartening, but my advice (which you didn't ask for) is:

1. keep doing what you're doing
2. understand where the people who say these things are coming from
3. don't take it personally. If it's not about you, then it's not about you.[/quote]
