[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] If a bunch of super-motivated Americans started immigrating en masse to a tropical island, where people tend to be laid back and unambitious, the natives would probably be alarmed when the Americans started aggressively out-competing and out-working them. It's a bit of nativist fear and provincialism from upper-middle class white people.[/quote] Impressive post -- manages to unself-consciously deploy an incredibly racist trope to accuse others of racism.[/quote] Racist against who? Asians or white people?[/quote] I was referring to the tropics trope. Basically the subtext here is that Asians are to whites as whites are to blacks, with the relationship between whites and blacks understood in classically racist/colonialist terms.[/quote]
