[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is about ASIANS.  The OP is pondering whether her child should hide her identity in this country because her identity, her race, her ancestry is discriminated against due to systemic racism.

We are ALLOWED to talk about all the different factors that are involved with that system racism and how there are MANY facets that play into racism against Asians and, in particular to this thread, Asian children.

If Black people are uncomfortable with all these various facets, some of which include them, then they need to learn, grow, educate themselves and sit in their own discomfort.

Becoming an anti-racist is not an easy process.[/quote]
Yes all racism is bad. As many pps have pointed out Asian Americans are the only group in America that can be discriminated against and tarred with negative stereotypes. It is for some reason socially acceptable and that is wrong and it is damaging to Asian American kids. [/quote]

Yes, but it’s for the the greater good. Blacks were slaves. African black sellers, European whites buyers including Jews, profited off of their backs. Now Asians, 200 years later - as a down payment for the opportunity to be “Americans“ - need to step forward and bear the bulk of the burden for the sin of the forefathers. Sounds fair too me.

I don't know if this was sarcasm or not, but it's clearly an ignorant post as it shows a complete lack of understanding of how Asians have been in the US for two hundred years and also faced discrimination by white people.  You are saying Asian Am. should suffer the "sins of the forefathers" then and now, but not black people.  This is the problem with a biased American education. [/quote]

It was another Asian flame thrower. .. [/quote]

The flame thrower’s point is blacks can’t compete fairly and squarely. That’s why you need a quota. In school and in life. [/quote]
