Welcome to Gaia! ::

I think I know who you are talking about it's Kenneth Eng right? Big, big stories a couple of years ago. I know cause he's a fellow SF'er. Here's the Why I hate Black People

If not my fault.

Anyway yes, this country is rather Black and White. The other races have to pick a side. It's like X-men. Blacks are often of like the Brotherhood (no pun intended) we just want to live in peace without all the hate and misunderstanding. However sometimes the way we go about things are kind of backwards and self-hurtful at best. While whites are pretty much like the X-men as well as normal humans. White Americans are often like the humans who hate and fear us cause they just don't get us which is sad since we been here just as long as they have. (Though we were here first wink )

Then we have our X-men most notable MLK, Rosa Parks, ect. However like the actual X-men freedom and equal right leaders come in all shapes, colors, and from all backgrounds. John and Yoko Lennon need about as much credit as MLK and the rest. Same with Wong Chin Foo, Caesar, and even some unnamed Native Americans.

Comic nerd'ism aside. Point is yeah the other races don't get any credit. The only cultural month that get notice is Black History that's the only one people really trip about nation-wide. (Though it does in fact depends on location)

They may or may not trip out on Latino/Mexican American month in May (Usually in places like NY, CA, NM, TX, and FL it's a big deal since the population of those folks are huge) With everyone else the basic mindset is as follows:

Do you care about Asians Americans? Only if you a weeaboo or something do you care. I mean they can't drive, they keep to themselves, they eat cats, ect. Wy should we care?

Do We care about Middle Eastern American? Only if you support what happen on 9-11, Muslim, or taking an Airline trip.

Native Americans: Meh, they get casinos and college for free. They don't need to worry about anything.

people who claim the "Other" option on the SAT: Why don't they pick a side? They are confusing everyone. My head hurts.

In short I agree with you. The other ones don't matter. Which is why I have a love-hate relationship with the NAACP. As I have yet seen Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson help out any Asian family that got attacked by the LAPD or SFPD (SFPD is worst nowadays btw)

How many big non-kung fu Asian actors or role models do we have? How many Latino doctors do we have on TV? Seriously look at the media as a whole. It's very black and white. It's very sad.

No problem. wink Like I said it was a big, big story and spark many campus debate from SFSU to SJSU as well. At least for a while Blacks and Asians were co-mixing for a bit. That's was the only good outcome about it. Then again college students usually are good at breaking cultural barriers.

yeah but sadly once we leave college we don't always stay like that as we are once again forced to use labels and have racist viewpoints all over again. Cause seems to me that the world should be a lot less racist granted that people of ALL colors have been in higher ed since the 1970's at the very least.

Then I guess it some of the older folks really driving it but then I look at the crap posted on Yahoo buzz, youtube, this site, and other forum sites and I don't know.

You make some fine points. 3nodding Though it hard to if the attention whores are just doing it for LOLZ or if the really mean it...

That's seems to happen alot on the internet when you think about it.
