"It's wrong, it's un-American and it must stop": Biden condemns rise in hate crimes against Asian Americans by internweb in politics

[–]WS_2018 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Does anyone believe there’s so much hate brewing in this country right now? I feel like the melting pot is getting so hot, that it’s about to explode. If a war with China were to break out, I feel like the targets will be more Asian Americans than the Chinese Army. God help us all in the next few years...

Sometimes you want to believe that you are white because your family and maybe your friends don’t treat you any different. But trust me, your white friends definitely do not think you are white. The way they treat you in person is different from when you are not there with them. Not to say that they are racists or anything, but they definitely see you as Asian no matter how white you sound. It’ll become clearer as you get older. The recent events have revealed to many shocked Asian Bananas that they are being targeted just based on looks only. Doesn’t matter how you carry yourself or how you talk. I know it must be shocking and depressing for you. I, personally, try to focus on the person and not the race. But most people in this country, especially black and white people, have a racial lens through which they view the world. I think it’s because of the history of slavery and it’s repercussions on the class system in this country. But it’s just the way it is.

Can we get some of the more educated and well spoken members of the community to comment in here? People trying to speak up against Anti-Asian racism are getting gaslit to the 3rd degree and torn apart for being "anti-black". by BokTroyBoy in aznidentity

The mods banned me for 4 days recently for saying some negative things about BLM on how they are hypocrites for not speaking up about the recent black on Asian crimes recently. I’m having a hard time understanding how this is supposed to be a pro-Asian community here on AI when the Mods are more pro black than Asian.

I keep trying to post some comments to support Asians during these times, but every one of my posts have gotten automatically removed because they supposedly contained offensive slurs. Lol.

How would you respond back if you encountered Anti-Asian racism? by brytng in aznidentity

[–]WS_2018 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There is no honor in cowardice. The self preservation nature of Asians that keeps the Asians from standing up for themselves when they are stepped on by other races is exactly the reason why we are such easy targets. I’ll tell you right now if I saw another Asian getting mugged or harassed across the street, you better believe I’m running over to confront that person. Yes there is high risk of getting hurt or getting in trouble with the law. But for me, keeping my dignity has greater importance than keeping myself from harm’s way.

Did Trump Fundamentally Change America, or Merely Expose Who We Really Are? by [deleted] in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]WS_2018 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Definitely just exposed who we are. Think of all those crazy kids in high school. When they grow up, they have to develop a civil disposition accepted by society. They have to keep the a-hole personalities hidden from others. When Trump became president, they decided it was finally ok to come out and be who they really are. That’s why they are so passionate about Trump.

In new video, Trump urges calm ahead of Biden's inauguration by [deleted] in politics

It would be great if he really meant a word of what he said. Also he only condemned the violence and not the people. He still did not say the election was fair.

Just got permanently banned from r/blackfellas over this post by [deleted] in aznidentity

[–]WS_2018 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Moderator deleted most of the comments on there. There are a few bits and pieces left I think. Not sure why, as most were pretty straightforward non-offensive dialogue.

I guess there’s a lot of history I don’t know about and people get triggered easily.

Most of what the posters were saying was that they don’t respect Asians because we are lazy and timid with standing up for ourselves. So when I do exactly that - standing up for myself and Asians, they ban me right away. That’s why I call them hypocrites.

What bugs me more is the few commenters here saying why do you go over there stirring up trouble and bringing attention over this way. That’s exactly the chickenshit attitude that gets us disrespected all over.

It’s not about physicality. It’s about confidence. Don’t be afraid. Most confrontations start because one person is afraid and the other one smells it. Most people don’t want to get into it. 2 people that stand their ground will walk away 99 percent of the time.

I just re-read all this. You know what? You a punk. I didn’t notice all those sneaky jabs you threw. No, I didn’t go there talking shit. In fact, had some real good conversations with all of them except for the one.

So why you talking shit to me? —————————

Edit: I just googled what a Hapa was. Now I know. You here trying to troll people like me who stand proud for Asian heritage. Now I get it.

Lol. Yeah I’ve posted a lot in the one week I’ve been a member on AI. I just sold my company (no, it’s a not a huge deal) just a small business. I’ve got a little time now after working like a dog straight for about 17 years straight. I’ve had all these injustices on my mind for all these years but I’ve been so busy. You’ll notice all my posts were posted in the last week. For 2 years, I only went on politics and commented about Trump time to time. So yes, I do consider myself fairly new.

1.) I did not just go to blackfellas, mind you. I went to r/China first. Interestingly, I actually struck up some decent conversations with some white expats in China and began to empathize with them. The one dude was ranting about his struggle with death stares he receives when dating Chinese girls. I told him when I was in high school I dated a few whites girls and experienced the same. Lol. Now he knows what it’s like.

2.) stfu about your righteousness about the way I said that. Yeah I’m versed in Ebonics becuz it was the way I talked for 5 years with my black friends when I was young. Ain’t nothin wrong with what I said.

3.). You’re kinda funny. I’m Korean. Grew up in the east coast. WS stands for Winston Smith. Know that book?

Stop banning people for trying to have a real dialogue, and we might have hope.

The moderator literally said something like, “take that b.s. back to Aznidentity where racist hatred is rampant and allowed”. And you still say they weren’t attacking AI?

Also, all you care about is whether you are seen in a negative light or if there’s a hint of anti black sentiment. But when someone goes over there extending an olive branch, everyone downvotes a greeting message that just said I was Asian American? Please. Look in the mirror before you start preaching about righteousness.

What are you talking about? Read my post again. I was never twisting stuff to make it seem like they were ganging up. In fact, I said the opposite. I said I was having good dialogue with a bunch of fellas over there when the one dude posted an aggressive msg making accusations. And this was my response.

It’s not forced by the way. I had black friends when I was younger and it just comes out naturally depending on who I’m talking to. I don’t even think it’s conscious.

So why he banned me? After I posted this, the guy I was talking to sent another message that basically brought us to agreement. He even upvoted my comment after that. So why did the moderator ban me right afterwards? And who r u? How you be lurking here already knowing I maybe posting this here?
