Notice how this thread has beat the living daylights out of this and there is barely any feelings of wrong doing felt?

Why is that?

Is it because we think Asians are not going to get bent out of shape?

Because we don't care if they get bent out of shape?

Or is it because we, in our hearts and actions, know we are not in real life harboring ill will towards them and this is all in good fun and everyone knows that or should be able to tell that?

I personally would feel much less inclined to go on and on as we have done here about African-Americans instead.

Asians aren't a protected class. It's like making fun of white people, no one gives a shit.

Asians aren't a protected class. It's like making fun of white people, no one gives a shit.

So why are they not a protected class? Because they are doing well in the aggregate? Because they don't have a history of acting up?

Honest questions.

A few factors.

Asians are usually quiet and non confrontational.

Their success as a minority in the country also contributes. Non threatening, wealthy, less violent and smart/educated.

The language is not as accessible to Americans so it all sounds like Ching Ching to them.


Mainly the success though, most people see Asians as basically white since they really don't cause crimes and are smart. Around the world the trend holds as well.

So is "protected class" a euphemism for African-Americans and LGBTQ? Basically the PC 3rd rail that one isn't allowed to make jokes of because they have shown a tendency to get their feelings hurt and then lash out more, at times, when it isn't truly a big deal and thus make mountains out of molehills?

Honest questions. Seeking clarification from my board brethren.

Pardon my ignorance.

I have to disagree with the history of not acting up...I was in an Asian war...the Japanese acted up quite a bit..Kim Jong Un acts up...Mao acted up....Chiang Kai Shek acted up...and you're right about racism in the States when it comes to Asians. I had a long argument here awhile back about stereotyping Asians..when Trump did it, it pissed off my Asian wife and all my inlaws.

Who the hell is this rookie coming on here trying to put us on blast? Go away new person.....you are adding stress to this place.

OK - now see how well all of you can do the Spanish "ny" and rolled r, not to mention the German/Yiddish/Russian sound usually written as "ch" made in the back of the throat!

I always laugh hearing goyim trying "l'chaim" for the first time.

I've seen/heard people use "l'chaim" on TV and feel like I can pronounce it pretty well but I can't seem to do it without hawking a loogy.

Thanks. I feel like I should

I meant the perception of Asians in America as not typically rocking the boat or getting particularly involved with politics as compared to some other groups. Asians are as opinionated as any other group if pressed for their opinion, but they are, in general, less likely to tell those outside of their circle what they really think. This is fact, not stereotype.

Also, I meant act up, as in how gays in SF organized a movement of that name. The Black Panther party is another 'act up' sort of an example I'm alluding to.

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. It's amusing to me how people think Asians are so meek and mild. Just have to get on the inside (become part of the family will do the trick) and they will give you an earful, just like anyone else.

Most of the people I work with are Indian or Chinese and I notice that no one gives opinions outside their circle, where as with Anglos you know right away where they stand. There are cultural differences. One that I like is that Asians tend to more respectful of personal space than Westerners - I know there are exceptions of course but I'm speaking trends. I hate it when someone assumes it's OK to hug, pat, or otherwise put hands on me. I'm not talking clear sexual assault, just generic touching, without permission, which I happen to hate.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

More respectful of personal space? Yes, the ones that were born here i can agree. But if they arent, they can be so damn rude. I hate being on a plane with asians that want to rush off as soon as possible and cut in front of everyone. Or the ones that bump into you and invade your personal space while at a tourist location. By being right up against you when there is plenty of spaces to be.

My stepmom is vietnamese and she always does that shit.
