[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The ignorance in these threads is appalling.

You can be living in poverty and *still* have privilege due to your race/ethnicity. A poor white child is not looked with the same negative stereotypes as a poor Black child, for example. Racial profiling is not based on income. And Asians are not racially profiled the way Black people are. The fact is that Asians do not receive the level of discrimination from systemic racism that Black and Hispanic people do. To ignore the data that exists on this matter is foolish and irresponsible.[/quote]

Are you kidding me?  White privilege, just like wealth, is head and shoulders above that of the any of other groups in this society.  The lottery shoots down Asians and helps Whites, the most privileged group in this country.  Practically no Asian has not been teased by the color of their skin, slanted eyes, funny pronunciation, meek attitudes, weak physique, etc.  Many have jumped across oceans and continents to flee their own kinds of discrimination at home and frankly speaking a lot more poverty than exists here.  Asians go to good schools, but society ignores them for promotion to management positions or positions of political power even compared to Blacks and Hispanics.  Don’t try to make this as something to help Blacks and Hispanics.  Whites, the group that has the most privileges, not only in this country, but across the entire globe are being helped in a nontrivial manner at the expense of Asians in this case.  That is the data.  This is exactly how minorities in different countries have been suppressed in world history.  [/quote]
Can we all agree that the heterogeneous makeup of the United States isn’t ideal? There is a such a thing as too much diversity, there are too many cooks in the kitchen. Everyone wants to outdo everyone else here in this wonderful land.[/quote]
Is it racist to say that the US was founded by white people based on Christian values? You don’t have to agree, but this is a fact. The US isn’t perfect, but we have been more accepting and open than any other country or society in history. Sorry, but if you come to any country as a minority, you may experience some backlash. Maybe the US isn’t the utopia that many believe it to be. Diversity comes with inevitable issues.[/quote]
