oh yeah, I forgot a majority of white americans believe the 'model minority' myths That's because they are hard workers with a lot of pride. They wouldn't want people know they are suffering if they were. And even then they would find a way to rise above it quietly. |

oh yeah, I forgot a majority of white americans believe the 'model minority' myths that could have to do with the fact they their culture is DIFFERENT than american culture,,,you probably wont hear them 'complaining' about many of those things WHITES complain about either |

oh yeah, I forgot a majority of white americans believe the 'model minority' myths that could have to do with the fact they their culture is DIFFERENT than american culture,,,you probably wont hear them 'complaining' about many of those things WHITES complain about either At least you can admit that your "culture" complains in spite of hardships while others with the same issues choose to approach the problem from a different angle. Amazing how well they do it too huh? It's a lesson a lot of us could learn from as my father also agreed with here in this story he used to tell me when I would complain about how bad my life was. Fun fact: My father retired from the navy and went to work as a tub boat operator in corpus TX. When he started (in the 70's) he said there were a bunch of poor Asians that would fish out on the docks, He observed how they would eat all the fish the Americans would throw back out and they would sell everything they could. Overtime, they saved and lived sparingly and eventually opened the majority of the shops in the area. Now they dominate the tourist market there.They easily make way more over my father. They were very poor people with NO help from ANYONE, and being this is Texas you bet they had to deal with racism. Yet they prevailed. That is the story my father told me and I am telling it to you because that's how a successful person approaches life. |

Here is our president making a racist remark. "typical white person" He says. LOL Yet he is not racist LOL! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8gnmUyminI&feature=related All I heard was that he acknowledged that there were differences in how people of different races perceive things because we have different experiences. At no point did he say anything bad about white people. Honestly, you would disagree with the notion that there's a number of ways that a person could act that would be considered "typical" or "atypical" in terms of social norms? Not being racist doesn't mean that you try to pretend that everyone is the same, it more about not hating people who are different. If Rick Sanchez had simply said that he and Jon Stewart (or he and the CNN executives) had different perspectives on life because of their background, no one would have cared. "Typical" isn't inherently mean anything bad, just like "atypical" doesn't inherently mean anything good. That's your opinion. That's not my opinion, you see to me there is no such thing as a typical white person. Or a typical black person. But since you agree please tell me sir, what is a typical white person? You're taking the term out of context. We're not talking about an archetype where there's a set of defined traits. It's a general term. However, there are characteristics that a white person might typically have or responses white people typically might give in certain situations in higher percentages than other races. For instance, white people typically wear Abercrombie more often than black people or they might typically listen to country. However, that doesn't mean that all (or even most) white people have that trait, just that it wouldn't be out of the ordinary if they did. It doesn't mean that black people never do those things, just that it's less typical. If Obama had said that typically, white people in this country are more educated and create more wealth non-white people, would you take offense or call that hateful? If not, then why? |

You just want someone else to blame. What makes the black's experience worse than the Holocaust? You think you guys had it worse? I don't think so! You don't see Jews running around crying and moaning and asking for handout and bitching and moaning about how bad their ancestors had it ! WTF??? And first of all Why are you not speaking out against Africans? Africans sold white's the slaves remember that? What have you done to stop the SAME Africans from enslaving other Africans? It's happening right now!! What are you doing bitching at us when the real problem is still happening!!?? I swear through history cultures have been killed, conquered and enslaved but YOUR culture is the only one who thinks they have a right to ***** about it for the rest of time. GET OVER IT! Hate is everywhere and racism is everywhere it's not just against you so shut up about it and be a part of the solution not the problem! |

By the way, from this statement, one would gather that you believe that, typically, Asians don't pull the race card and other races are more likely to do so. That statement right there holds just as much racism and hatred as the clip from Obama that you cited. Either you're both racist and hateful, or neither statement exemplifies such things. Thank you for proving my point. |

Nice so you admit that profiling works then? When it suits you. LOL But if I was to say that the womans response to the black man was a legitimate LEARNED response from all of the black crime, I bet you wont agree. LOL Truth is her response is normal and it's not just whites that feel that way. I could understand if black crime was not so high but it is. So his response is wrong and it is racist to assume her response was typical of a white person. She is a typical american who lives in the city and is aware that many black men rob and steal. Especially one that is asking for money and wouldn't leave her alone after she gave him a dollar. That is the full story BTW by Obama himself. |

oh yeah, I forgot a majority of white americans believe the 'model minority' myths because Asians culture promotes DISCIPLINE instead of FREEDOM most of them 'COME' here with an economic or educational upperhand because of the DISCIPLINE that they have come here from |

Who mined most of the resources in the west in the 1800's? They more than enough reason to complain, but they are smart enough to know they have it better here than anywhere else... |

Thank you for proving my point. I fully admitted I could be a racist due to my thoughts. If that's the case oh well. If recognizing racial differences makes me a racist then ok. So me and Obama are racists Still doesn't stop me from having black friends and it doesn't make me treat black people differently. |
