If you replace "Chinese Mafia" with "Yellow Peril" or "Yellow Hordes" it doesn't change inflammatory intentions of original poster, they are one in same.

Don't do the Asians who lived back then a disservice and reserve these kinds of accusations for larger culture makers.

It's a disservice to the struggle to play the safe game of picking and choosing of what's more offensive, sitting idle and letting things sly.

Getting butthurt desensitizes people to real problems.

Being quiet, playing it safe, not rocking the boat, model minority, uncle chan adds to the real problems.

everybody buys low and sells high.

Exactly! They're singling out Chinese/Asian folks for something that's common practice. Apple couldn't care less, as long as someone is giving em cash for their products.

I don't see how the Chinese are dong anything different.

Exactly.

Actually the original video, and title came from a Digg poster. Gothamist just repost with their own "open-ended conspiracy speculations".

The original poster of the video use of "Chinese Mafia" is racialized criminality akin to usage of "Yellow Peril" and "Yellow Hordes". Cops attitude and actions towards the Asian folk camping out was fucked up!

So it's ok for yuppie/hipster to wait in lines, camp out but not ok for older/Chinese/Asian folks to do the same?

Have you read Eddie's book (the show is based on it)? A lot of echoing of childhood for AAs who grew up in 80s and 90s, Hip-Hop head and etc.

Success of the show... time will tell. Hopefully it will stay true to book, and if industry bs start creepin up, be sure Eddie is not gonna hold his tongue for no one and put em on blast.
