WHAT YOU SAY

ABC Parent,

We specialize in treating Asian-Americans who suffer from specific media-induced disorders.

We provide therapeutic de-programming services for those who feel sad, angry, or depressed whenever they are exposed to media images of Asians.

Using positive reinforcement techniques, clients are briefly exposed to the objectionable image, and immediately given a reward as well as counseling. Exposures are gradually lengthened until the client can comfortably watch the previously offensive image without anxiety. For severe cases, a full-length movie may be shown to de-sensitive those clients who experience acute anxiety when viewing White male and Asian female love scenes. De-progamming and counseling are given throughout the session.

We are proud of our high success rate and point to the hundreds of satisfied clients in the Asian-American community now leading healthy and happy lives.

Contact us now. Consultations are free.

I saw a CNN international news about doing business in China, i thought it had some subtle racist overviews. It was called "getting past the bamboo curtain" and the reporter who was interviewing a European businessman, kept saying "oh but they are so different from us" and "they do not think the same way as we do" and "do you like doing business with their strange ways of business", it was basically implying Chinese are Aliens. I dunno, sorry to ramble

ABCParent,

That commercial is about a Japanese daughter hacking into a USA plant. In Japan, women are expected to be housewives once they are married. Which is why the women tells her daughter that it is time to eat.

The mattress commercial I haven't seen yet.

"An EDS commercial showed another asian mother-daughter duo. The daughter hacked into the computer systems of an auto plant to have her name painted on cars on an assembly line. The mother called out to her. Where's Dad? What does this mean? Is he dead, missing? Damn commercial."

The budget could only afford two actors, and girls get paid less anyways. haha

I spot a trend.

An EDS commercial showed another asian mother-daughter duo. The daughter hacked into the computer systems of an auto plant to have her name painted on cars on an assembly line. The mother called out to her. Where's Dad? What does this mean? Is he dead, missing? Damn commercial.

A Mattress Discounters commercial showed an asian mother tucking her daughter into bed. Where's Dad? Goddamit! I can't take this anymore. Somebody please, please explain this to me.

2) Intermarriage rate is like 60% and increasing...,

What does that matter. If your mothers a Jew, you're a Jew. I know a few couples of AM/WF where the WF is a Jew. Hence, the kid is a Jew. Whether or not the kid can take advantage of his Jewish heritage is another issue all together.

And since Jew is really a culture/religon. I also know of a few Jews of paternal descent. They had to go of hewbrew school and do some other ritual stuff and a few years later they are consider full fledge Jews.

The reason why Jews have difficulties penetrating Asia. Is because Asian behave like Jews in the business environment.

Media in Asia is center on asia. You don't see any white or blacks on tv. Entertainment in Asia is lead mostly by HK and Japan in Asia. S. Korea is also becoming a center for entertainment exports. A white Jew would just not have much to say at a Sony or Pioneer Entertainment Japanese board meeting.
