WHAT YOU SAY

[This page is closed to new input. --Ed.]

Everyone is leaving away from the main topic. This is not about Muslim and Hindu religion. Why don't you people grow up.

experience,

Yes, a lot of those Turkish immigrants are from eastern parts of Turkey and many of them are ethnic Kurds. People in eastern part of Turkey are still very religious and conservative like the Arabs and Persians. There was one city in Turkey (Van) where a Kurdish man killed his own daughter because her high school boyfriend had dedicated a love song for her over the radio.

You are partially right, but the whole interracial dating thing is common to most asian cultures not just south asian and middle eastern, so get that right! To group muslims and indians having a shared cultural practice you better check it twice becuase we dont have much in common because of the religion that is a big part of both of our cultures, our religions CLASH therefore our cultures would too...just some much needed logic on your part!

"There were 2 cases in Detroit involving one Arab family and another Turkish one when their daughters were out with white non-Muslim guys."

It is said that most Turkish immigants are from very rural Anatolia. Compared with other rural, I think, they're the most arrogant.

Then, they don't care about their children and suddenly turn out to expect their children to behave morally correct. Actually, then it's already too late and the children are so white-washed that their parents want to kill them.

counterpuncher,

I don't know about Indians, but I know that Muslims sometimes do that. It is called "honor killing". They do that to any boy they do not like to see their daughter going out with. Often, they kill their own daughter.

There were 2 cases in Detroit involving one Arab family and another Turkish one when their daughters were out with white non-Muslim guys.

Generally, people who live in the Middle Eastern and South Asian parts of this world are not very much into interracial dating or even free dating in general.

They also have a double standard. Only the men from their cultures can date or have sex outside the group, while their women cannot.

It is cultural and not racial practices. By their second generations, they are Americanized like the rest.

Just came across some posts here that were credited to me "Counter Puncher." I didn't post these comments toward the Indians, I'm sure its the work of a delusional named "Realist." I've been discrediting thim on the other folder so I guess he's just pissed off. Realist, you are truely pathetic!

COunter Puncher
I think you might need to go punch yourself, where do you come off saying stupid things like "who else would kill their kids that marry outside of their race".....excuse me, but where the hell did you hear that?! No one kills their kids, at least not more so than the chinese drowning baby girls back in the day, but then again why don't you go attack that?

LOL talk about a COP OUT.
Counter Puncher Wednesday, November 13, 2002 at 16:08:54 (PST) [138.23.59.245]

Based on my personal observations, ethnic Indians tend to be the most racist and clannish out of every ethnic group in the world. Who else would murder their own kids who marry outside their race? Sickening.
Counter Puncher Wednesday, November 13, 2002 at 16:08:18 (PST) [138.23.59.245]

Mightyland,

You seem to be a somewhat sort of half-educated person. If you were to put that into action, you'd realize your experience is minor and does not speak for the entire populace. You do realize that there are more Chinese people on this earth than just about anyone. 1.3 billion in the mainland, 60 million overseas and you're judging that entire population based on your little experience? HAHA what a joke. Based on my personal experience, I've had the worse experience with blacks. You don't see me make racist generalizations about them. Oh well, think whatever you wish. Your perceptions are not true, they only reflect your limited experience and knowledge in life.
Steven Tuesday, November 12, 2002 at 18:22:37 (PST) [138.23.59.245]

Mightyland,

You are most certainly correct in your observations of the Chinese. I have witnessed this very same behavior. It is unbelievable and shocking. I too have travelled to other country for business matters and have this experience as well. Yes some may try to say this is racist when it is not. It is only speaking of the truth. The Chinese are very easily agitated and can become quite difficult in the matters of business and domestic. Sometimes I notice this same behavior with the korean.

abccollegechick,

I refuse to address your irrational childish questions. I do not wish to argue with a young girl, for it would be a waste of time.
Batchu Praveen Tuesday, November 12, 2002 at 09:44:47 (PST) [205.188.208.107]

I've had quite a bit of world travel experience and can honestly say that the worst international businessmen have been Chinese. I know it sounds totally racist and inconsiderate but it`s the truth. They are rude, annoying and seemingly hateful. Honestly I thought I would have a horrible time dealing with Arabs in Dubai but was I wrong! The Arabs were surprisingly polite and hospitable. The rude and easily agitated Chinese were the first to refuse proposals and least willing to discuss details. Again, it sounds racist but it is only what I`ve experienced personally. Hell, maybe they perceived my dealings to be rude and overbearing. Either way, the blocks fell into place and transactions were completed.
Mightyland Monday, November 11, 2002 at 18:18:32 (PST) [211.227.210.112]

Batchu Praveen:

"Are you Chinese? My guess is probably correct. Your behavior and infantile comments clearly answer my question."

And just WHAT are you trying to say about the Chinese?? That all Chinese are infantile and whatever the hell else you are trying to imply?? I mean, if you're gonna go there, there's so very much that can be said about Asian Indians, but we aren't gonna go there, shall we? Stereotypes spouting from one Asian to another fellow Asian is the worst. This isn't a site created for Asians to cap on each other, now is it?? What has this become? Resorting to childish lashing at "Steven"'s ethnicity because you don't have a better counter-arguement? People are on this forum to read different people's opinions, not rediculous kiddy banter.

Write something more worthwhile to read, dammit. If you hold so strongly to your own point of view, feel free to express yourself, sheesh! Ironic, isn't it? You branded all Chinese people as "infantile" in a narrative that depicted who bears the true label of "infantile" on his forehead.

...and that label is a "self-put" one at that.

"Arthur Smith must have been one hell of a stupid moron."

,..and this "Mightyland" person must be one hell of a narrow-minded racist idiot.

and just WHO is this "Arthur Smith" anyways?? What I don't understand is how it is possible that there are people out there that can swallow up lies like these in total oblivious idiocy. That's why media portral of Asians is very important in America, because there are morons such as "Mightyland" that make up a huge population of America.

..which is also why we have dumbasses such as Bush as our president.

Dear Batchu,

My my my, amazing how you have so little to say, no refutation for any of my arguments from the last post with you but a petty insult of me and my ethnicity and your calling me infantile? I guess this proves Yup right once and for all that you are definitely not worthy of serious discussion. NEXT!!!!!!!!!!
Steven Friday, November 01, 2002 at 14:19:59 (PST) [138.23.59.245]

Mightyland.

You have serious problems if u belive that lie. Arthur Smith must have been one hell of a stupid moron.
Jae Jun Thursday, October 31, 2002 at 16:52:44 (PST) [211.28.96.40]

Steven,

Are you Chinese? My guess is probably correct. Your behavior and infantile comments clearly answer my question.
Batchu Praveen Thursday, October 31, 2002 at 09:54:14 (PST) [152.163.188.161]

Mightyland,

Yes cause we all know that Arthur Smith's interpretation is the be end and be all of all Chinese/Japanese/Koreans. ::::NOTE THE SARCASM::::
Steven Monday, October 28, 2002 at 17:11:59 (PST) [138.23.59.245]

Arthur Smith used the following characteristics to describe a Chinese: "Fraud, Liar, Whopper, Graft, Betrayal, Unkindness, Illogical, etc." and a Japanese/Korean characteristics as: "Purity, Justice, Honesty, Diligence, Confidence, Responsibility, Law abiding, and Public interests."

I don't trust the Chinese and Muslims.
