The forgotten minority

Look, Europe and Asia aren't even two separate continents. They're the same big continent with some mountains on it. For some reason geographers act like those mountains are an ocean just because they make it hard to get from point A to point B. The Rocky Mountains of North America are a similar barrier but the western states aren't some kind of separate continent.

Half the world's population are Asians. That includes the Indian "sub-continent," which again is separated not by anything resembling an ocean but just mountains. It includes the central Asians like Iranians or Kazakhs. The Siberians. The west Asians like Syrians. The Asians run the gamut from Chinese-looking to European-looking, black hair to red or blonde hair, skin as black as the blackest African to as white as the whitest Irishman. How can this be a "race" of people?

Interesting that Trump gets blamed for violence against Asians when almost all the examples provided are Black on Asian. I can only imagine what goes on in the heads of liberals.

I’ll take illogical arguments for 600, Alex.

Regardless it could still be racism, the good news is there is a book by X. Khendi called how to be an Antiracist which has been used in California jails where there were racial problems, many of the inmates could not read and others rejected reading it, but since it was a captive audience, it went out over the speakers so everyone had to hear it, the results are groups they had to keep separated were all friendly with each other and even when then get out members of the Mexican Mafia, the Black Gangs Bloods and Crips the White gangs the like the White Aryan Brotherhood were all getting along and when they get out they are hanging out and having family get togethers with their former rivals, this book is showing everyone how to get along it is amazing, If the book had been available in the 1930's and Hitler had read it, the Holocaust would not have happened, George Wallace would have never called for segregation, there would be no wars. we would have peace and harmony everywhere. I have not yet read the book, but everyone who reads it becomes filled with love, free of all biases and Prejudice's, My guess is X. Khendi was sent by God to rid the World of Racism, X. Khendi says he has NEVER had any bias or resentment or hate in his thoughts ever, he has always loved everyone equal, He will likely go down in History as THEE MAN who ended racism.

This this is a long overdue movement and is good to read about. The organizer of this movement very clearly stated in the article you linked that this problem doesn't get the attention that it deserves. Our media and sports teams and population in general just doesn't show the level of concern that these atrocities deserve. Asian Americans are the forgotten minority.

There are things that just are reported. Who is making these attacks? If this were predominately white on minority attacks it would be huge news. That is true.

Also I just don't see Asian Americans represented on movie or television programs. I see all these concerns about the need for diversity back with the omission of Asian Americans everyone is quiet. In general Asian Americans don't complain and don't play the victim card, but maybe they should.

Name major Asian roles, particularly male roles, on TV or in movies. I can name tons of other minorities with leading roles.

Way more unqualified white students get into Ivy schools compared to other non Asian minorities. Look at cocaine-snorting Biden.

And Africa is only separated from Asia by a canal, so what's your point?

Because of who is doing the violence, it must be hushed up. Because as we’ve been told in no uncertain terms, not all lives matter.

What are your stats for white on Asian crime and vice versa? Hushed up? It’s being carried by MSM. You must be one of those under achieving Asians.[/quote]

Look them up yourself. All crime statistics are available to the public. or examole:

My thread was about general awareness and concern and appropriate level media coverage of attacks on Asian Americans. There is also a lack of awareness and concern regarding lack of diversity and inclusion on TV and movies for Asian Americans. (This is a less concern for Asian Americans)

Your post doesn't address that and further is even wrong in what it does claim to address. Did you read your link. Asian American victims were not individually listed (they were lumped in with others) in these FBI stats and further they mentioned that the numbers are not accurate anyway because many agencies don't keep track of attacks on Asian Americans. That figures.

So you were wrong on all counts.

I always loved Asian people, like other nations, they are different by their culture, religion and the way of being which really impressed me for many years. Despite of the fact that there are people that spoils their reputation, there are still those which proves that their nation deserves to be respected. We should respect everybody who deserves it and just take out the rubbish and help those who stepped on the wrong way. I am also an immigrant, I migrated many years ago and now I have a very good life and a pretty good income from my business. I am really glad that there are companies that are always ready to help those people who aspire to a better life. So guys, don't hesitate to move on if you feel that you need to change your place

You really convinced me, I should try to move!

Asian lives do matter too. They just seem to be quieter when treated unfairly. No protests, no one raising fists, no blaring headlines, no huge uproar. Maybe we need some.

So you are saying it's black people that are watching Trump then getting inspired to beat up Asians? Yeah, that's very logical.

Anyway, I just learned yesterday that there's an effort in my company to promote Blacks and Hispanics to management, but not Asians. Not really many Asians in management so I'm not sure where this particular exclusion comes from ... So I guess as a half-Asian, half-white, part Hispanic with a Anglo name I have no chance. All this has gotten so out of control.

How about focusing on access to educational opportunities and better job training, and guide the desired results that way? Oh no, that's too hard.

You mean 90% of asian people?

All of you are equally ugly actually. Every demographic and race is getting dumber. They don’t complain about the sources of the problems that they participate in daily, so all are stuck in a destructive dynamic of scapegoating, ignorance and scarcity. Gee I wonder where this is leading?

We are still concerned about Asians lives right?
