You have proven nothing. Blacks go to jail at the same rate that they commit crimes, Period. Sentencing disparities have been disproven time and time again. In addition, you do realize that felonies are under prosecuted in the black community?
So are you saying that there is no such thing as racism with the criminal justice system ?
In the educational system? How so? How is it that some dirt poor kid can come here from China, and excel in the same inner city schools that black kids attend? Is it racism or is it that the chinese kid comes from a two parent household, whose parents and culture demand he work hard?
I've always noticed how the people who talk about how great Asians are doing are never Asians themselves.
I’ve also noticed how people like you, like to pit Asians and blacks as total opposite with whites in the middle as just right
- Blacks men are cool – Asian men are nerdy.
- Black women are loud - Asian women are submissive and quiet.
- Blacks are lazy - Asians are hard working.
- Blacks have a lower IQ than whites - Asians have a higher one.
- Black women are mannish - Asian women are “ultra-feminine”.
You ignore that Cambodian Americans drop out of high school at a higher rate than blacks and black immigrants from Africa and the West Indies do better than Asian Americans.
You ignore the difference between different Asian American nationalities. Hmong, Cambodians, Vietnamese and other southeast Asian nationalities who tend to be poorer.
You ignore many of these groups have much higher poverty rates than both blacks and Latinos. But even many Chinese and Japanese Americans live in poverty.
You ignore that Asian Americans are the poorest group in NYC.
You ignore the Asian women working twelve hours a day in sweatshops both abroad to make clothes for people like you.
You ignore the Asian families whose members have to put in eighty hours a week just to keep their heads above water.
You ignore the Indian, Pakistani or Bangladeshi taxi drivers who endure crappy working conditions, customers who get pissy about their accents or “attitudes,” and beaten up.
More blacks may live in poverty compared to Asians as a whole, but this is often due to extremely strict immigration policy. There is a reason why America is only 5% Asian despite Asians accounting for the largest race on earth.
Not to mention the fact that there is no shortage of poor Asians in the slums of Manila, Calcutta and Hong Kong to undercut your argument about the supposed cultural or genetic superiority of Asians as a group.
The main advantage with this "Asians are doing great !! There must be something wrong with black people" thinking is that it allows whites to think that they and their society are not racist.
It's just white people taking a race that seems to have done well for itself (but not as well as they like to imagine) to excuse their own racism against blacks. It is not about Asians – or even about blacks when you get down to it. It is about white people trying to feel good about themselves.
We are talking about 2 different ethnicities with two different histories when dealing with the West, and America in particular. Two vastly different immigration policies, now and historically. And Asians area much smaller population in the U.S. and have a much higher percentage of recent immigrants.
So racism in America comes in part from the hang-ups white people have about people not being white.
So sure some of it will apply to anyone who not white.
That part applies to both blacks and Asians.
But part of the racism comes from the need to excuse the unfair advantages whites have in American society, something that grows out of their past. That part applies more to blacks than to Asians. That makes blacks a way bigger threat to white self-image.
Therefore whites need to think that there is something profoundly wrong with black people. Model minority Asians help to maintain that picture.
Another thing I've noticed is that white people always criticize the way blacks and Asians behave, even when the behaviors are seemingly opposites.
- Black parents “don’t do enough” to raise their kids but Asian parents are “too strict”.
- Black parents “don’t drive their kids” to do well in school but Asian parents “stifle their kids” by pushing them to do well.
- Black kids “don’t study” hard enough, but Asian kids “study too much”.
- Black kids play “too much sports” but Asian kids “don’t play enough” sports.
- Blacks are “less successful” than whites so they should shut up and work harder but Asians are “more successful” than whites so they should shut up and stop complaining.
- Blacks cause “schools to decline” but Asians make the “schools too hard”.
- Blacks get into schools on “affirmative action” but Asians are “overrepresented” in schools.
If we stopped breathing, would they criticize that, too ?
There are several instances in my life where if an Asian did well in uni, white classmates would criticize them and say, “So Asian” as if “Asian” were a bad word and doing too well at uni was a bad thing.
White culture overvalues mediocrity.
So whites are rewarded for being “just right” on the academic spectrum of smart vs. stupid.
Somehow, blacks and Asians are at opposite extremes, but whites are left at a moderate, middle ground.
That's as opposed to many black kids who are bullied and even physically assaulted for acting "too white" if they do the same. I've heard that from everyone from Neil Degrasse Tyson to Thomas Sowell to the son of one of my employees.
So are you saying that black parents push their kids to fail at school because you believe that the majority of black parents and blacks kids want to fail at school ?
Hiring and employment? Again historically true, today nonsense. I'm in business and I and many of my compatriots are desperate to find good help and couldn't care less what the color of their skin is. I seldom hire black men. do you know why? They don't apply.last time I hired was 6 months ago of 20 or so people that applied there were exactly 0 black men that applied. And this is in area that is at least half black. On top of that not working for an education isn't going to open many doors.
Say if you had a job interview and your life was dependent on getting that job.
But I had a pills that would turn your skin black.
Would you take that pill ?
I mean. There are pills you can take that will turn your skin black
There is a drug called Psorlen.
It's the same drug that John Howard Griffin took in his 1959 book when he was wanted to experience life as a black man in southern USA.
You can buy the drug on
Ebay
And you can take this drug, and be your black self, and you can get all these goodies and treats and doors opened that black people supposedly get. Right ?
I mean because according to you, it's just so dam horrible and oppressive to be a white male. Right ?
See, if you really believed that white males are the ones who get the shit end of the stick, then you'd take them pills, if your life depended on getting the job.
But you would not and there is not white male on the planet who would take that pill. Don't talk unless you're prepared to back your bullshit up.
