[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many many years ago as a 23 year old, I went to visit Frederick and I literally had a man in the middle of the street say to me, "Go back to Japan," while his friends laughed.  Given the lack of diversity in FCPS schools, I'm not at a place where I'm comfortable sending my kids there. [/quote]

well, too bad you appear to live in the past, as you missed one of the BEST gay pride events in the city this past weekend

Nothing stays the same, but if you're going to base your experiences on your 23 yo self, then you don't want to hear this argument. [/quote]

DP: Gay Pride does not equal acceptance of racial and ethnic minorities. There’s actually a lot of anti-Asian attitudes among white gay males. [/quote]
yes, being gay doesn't mean not being racist.  Look at John Galliano.

[quote]In the February incident, [b]a French couple having a beer outside La Perle bar in Paris's Marais district said he repeatedly insulted them with lines including "f*n ugly Jewish bitch" and "f*n Asian bastard[/b]"[/quote][/quote]

Lol. Sorry but this made me laugh... a French couple??  Jews/Asian??

Have you ever been to France? It’s as if not more multiracial than the US?
Jews and Asians can certainly be French. Jews lived in France since the Middle Ages. Many were rounded up during the Holocaust, but France also hid many of its Jews, recognizing that they were fellow French men, women, and children.  In the 1800s-1950s, France held colonial territory in Asia. During and after the wars of independence, many Indochine elites fled to France and remained there, as do their children and grandchildren. I know a family of ethnic Vietnamese that are French citizens. I think you can hear masses in French at Vietnamese Catholic parishes throughout the US. Many in the older generations were educated in French schools.[/quote]

Yes I know... it just sounded funny to me that’s all.[/quote]
DP.. I guess you would laugh if it was an American couple of Asian/Jewish ancestry, too.  Only white people can be "real" Americans, right?[/quote]
