No dipshit. The point is that both groups immigrated willingly which is kind of the opposite of being enslaved. Cant your retarded ass read? The OP is asking why Blacks ask for reparations and the others dont. That because those groups are either now white or they got reparations already.Is this some fucking competition? Could you miss the point any more completely?Pretty darned close doesnt make them slaves plus they came over here willingly. Now if you can show me at least 5 examples where they were stolen from China, beaten, forced to give up their language, religion, names, etc you may have a case. Oh yeah I forgot. You also need to show where they were sold off and split up from their families and all this was done over multiple generations.
One more thing. You need to show where they went through all this without being paid.
I'm sorry, I forgot that black people were the only ethnicity that encountered injustice... We should ignore the Jews, Chinese, Native Americans, Irish Immigrants, because they had their own awful treatment that isn't as special as yours.
Sorry, man, I'm trying my best to be an "ally" here, but the reality is, everyone has a sad story.
Hey, True story... when my Grandfather got off the boat from Germany, one step ahead of Hitler, no one welcomed him with open arms. He had to change his name from "Ludwig" to "Louis" and changed the way he pronounced the family name (which we still do to this very day) to sound more "American".
Slavery was bad. It was also a long time ago. We have a lot of things that need to be reformed, and, yes, we really need to acknowledge our bad past...

Dont try and change the subject. I said they were not slaves. There is a big difference between being a slave and dealing with injustice.

Guess what? My Grandfather could have changed his name to Peter Smith and they would have still tried to lynch him because he was Black. Yes everyone has strife and bad things happen but very few have it as bad as Black people in the US or in Africa as a result of encountering white people. The only people I can say that had it worse were the natives of Tazmania.
