WHAT YOU SAY

TSJ,

Agreed, sometimes these people are just overreacting to something as petty as those Asian depictions on the A&F shirts.

Besides this, some Asians find it offensive when Non-Asians wear Asian syle blouses or fashions with Asian designs or when they get tatoos with Chinese characters. They think it's an exploitation of our culture! How foolish! So I guess when Asians wear Banana Republic or Gap, it's an exploitation of White Preppiness by Asians! Hahaha...

Here in NYC, most Asian didn't give an ass f*ck about those shirts. In fact, many Asians were rushing to get their hands on some before A&F took them off from their inventory like a flawed product. Hahaha...

The only Asians who made a big deal about them were these people representing this so and so organization. They were protesting, writing e-mails and letters, and so forth. My friends and I were kidding around saying how these idiots should relocate to California and join all of the other idiots out there bitten with the "Asian Justice Syndrome", because most of these whiners live on the West Coast. But I guess there are exceptions such as yourself. Hahaha....

Btw, I'm also a Wong. What's up with all these Toi San folks with Wongs? Way too many..Damn! I'm think that they probably had a lot of farmland back in the good ol' days and needed manpower to work on them, so they had a lot of offsprings to solve the problem. hahaha...

"When you don't fight for equality and respect, people will step all over you. It starts with little things and then progresses to more disrespect."

I couldn't have said it any better. That's one think that I think most Asians have come to realize--nothing is handed to us in America.

Toi San Jai,

Thank you!
you took the words right out of my mouth Sunday, April 21, 2002 at 21:12:53 (PDT)

Toi San Jai,

It seems like you are out of touch with reality or you are a white person or you are too whitewashed.

If you are asian, you are probably some kid still in high school or 1 to 2 years out of high school where you don't see and understand the real world and how if functions (cause and effect).

When you don't fight for equality and respect, people will step all over you. It starts with little things and then progresses to more disrespect.

Having remarks on t-shirts are different than on songs. You can choose not to listen to racist songs, but you can't help but looking a racist tshirts especially if they're on display on a store rack.

Imagine this happening to black people, the store would probably be looted and burned already. That's why they don't f**k with black americans, cause they know the repercussions.

Toi San Jai you think like an immature fool. How do you know the pinoys were like "right on dude?" You are just projecting your own thoughts to them. They could be thinking, "That guy is a dumbass," you never know.

San Francisco needs to stop spending 200 million a year on the homeless which in effect rises home costs through the roof! But of course high home costs does have it's benefits it keeps all the trashy people out. But we do need to do something to GET RID of all the homeless, send them perhaps to a city with very low home costs and get them a decent job! Simple solution.
