WHAT YOU SAY

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

I've read everyones comments and find them very interesting. I like Caucasian-Conquering Khan attitude towards whites, but I think his ideas of the future are a bit contrived. I am an African-American and I thought I should inform Asians who share Khans attitude and even those who don't a few things.
Khan we all know (people of color) that whites tend to see themselves as being superior. I really don't care if they do or not, that's their insecurity not mine, but they should never be underestimated. Just look at the past. Whites will do whatever it takes to get what they want.
1.) Natives were in a everyday fight with whites. So whites took it farther and started slaughtering women and children. Now many tribes have been wiped out.

3.) Jews were seen as a threat to white Europeans specifically Germans. So they you know spawned Nazism. And America entered the war just in time(4yrs. 12 million people later) hmmm.

2.) Blacks have fought for equality throughout this nations history. Now Black Americans last year pulled in a National Income greater than entire countries like Austrialia and Canada, but blacks seemed to be contracting Aids faster than any other group in the world.

4.) China is percieved to be a threat so now aids cases are being found there as well, and in 5 years could cripple that superpower economically and socially like the USSR was.

Aids seem to be their new gun.
(20yrs. in the making)
I'm not saying be scared just be informed. If you know your enemy you can defeat him. One love.

Basically, I don't see them (or myself) as a threat of physical violence, sexual or romantic rival with white women that is, or intellectual/cultural BUT in the future I worry about the economic/workplace threat. Basically it is a non-issue now because of low fluency in english and lack of executive/management representation. That'll change in the future, it is already changing because of the high concentrations in college. That goes the same for women. Now, I'm sure there are those who disagree with me, so I welcome your rebuttal.

Hey, I don't think I'm delusional. I think you're intimidated by us.

Um, Kamen Hanya,

I think "AG" stands for 'Asian Guy'.

That wasn't so hard, was it?
Are you trying to be funny? Friday, August 24, 2001 at 12:04:39 (PDT)

The Commander,

Exucuse me sir, but just where the HELL are you from? Alabama? Indiana? Mississippi? Arkansas? WHERE? Jesus, you're such a redneck!
Get Lost, Loser. Asian are here to stay, and we're going to get ours. Friday, August 24, 2001 at 12:02:08 (PDT)

Hey AG,
you said I talk too much, right? What do you think about the "commander"?
It figures you have nothing to say to him. Coward. It just goes to show how some people think alike even though they come from opposite sides of the fence.

Hey Commander Doorknob,

The Bible says the top slot is reserved for Jews, not gentiles. Is that what you believe?

You just don't get it, do you? At the rate things are going, pretty soon it's not going to be about whether Asians should be content with what they have in the white world. Instead, the question will be how whites should be grateful for whatever scraps Asians will throw their way.

If your little brain can't imagine what that is like, pay a visit to Kingston Technology, the large memory manufacturer based in California. Take a look at how the mostly white work force there kiss up to the Taiwanese owners. There's your preview for the future.

When Pavarotti performed in China recently, he sang not only European songs but also Chinese songs. That's right, he learned and rehearsed songs in Chinese specifically for the performance.

The signs are everywhere for anyone who pays attention. Your other option is to remain deluded and ignorant. Makes no difference to me either way.

You still haven't answered my question. If whites are so superior, how can it be possible that Asians whipped your ass in Vietnam? How can the Japanese decimate the American auto industry so quickly?

Come on Doorknob, we're waiting.

Caucasian-Conquering Khan Thursday, August 23, 2001 at 14:45:21 (PDT)

Hated Asian the problem is that you people want more.

Sure we let you attend our best universities, and move into our best neighborhoods, and work in our best hospitals and even marry into the family. But now you want more and more.

MORE THAN YOU ARE ENTITLED TO.

Just like the colored who wanted to be seen as equals and attend the same schools and workplace. Now negroes want to run the schools and own the workplace! That's a dangerous step to take.

The same with orientals. You should be happy for what you have and shut up about it and give whites thanks instead of wanting more.

Look at history, look at the bible, there's only room for one race at the top and that slot has been reserved for whites only!
The Commander Thursday, August 23, 2001 at 08:26:49 (PDT)

Another Asian Guy. Another one living in a delusional world. Who told you that whites have accepted colored dating our women? It doesn't matter if it's a coon (hey I'm just joking ok) or a slopehead (once again-I'm just joking). That is never acceptable. I've never been personally offended that asian women is shunning white men over asian men. Isn't that the way it suppose to be? Stick with your own kind and the world would be a much better place?
The Commander Thursday, August 23, 2001 at 08:19:00 (PDT)

hated asian,

here are some reasons for what you mentioned from the top of my head:

1) China-USA relations are fast approaching what resembled the past USA-Soviet Empire relations. Another Cold War type situation.

2) More and more Asians in the US presence. Their numbers are increasing.

3) More and more Asian guys going out with white girls especially in large integrated cities.

4) Asians are perceived to be passive and easy to victimize without retaliation.

5) You cannot really believe what you see or hear on the Net to be always true. It can very well be those "Asian haters" are really Asian themselves (pathological) who have nothing better else to do.

6) Generally speaking, white Anglos in my opinion still remain the most bigoted of all groups and races.

"AG",

your parents must have abused you as a child. Don't worry, though. You can get help.

I've noticed that the presence of haters on Asian chatrooms is increasing. I don't know about other ethnic groups' chatrooms but it seems the hatred towards Asians is getting worse. I don't know what we do to piss white people off (the haters are almost always white dudes). Relatively speaking, we have low crime, we make money, we study hard, we work hard, we generally want to assimilate, we're generally open to interracial marriage with whites, we are not aggressive. If anything, we're passive. So... WHAT'S THE PROBLEM? How are we considered a threat? It can't just be job competition.
This hate may eventually create a real yellow peril.

shut up dude. u talk too much.

The Commander is probably some zit-faced white kid in a third-rate college dorm or some sleepy little town like Savannah, Georgia. Or maybe he's an adult white male with a shit job and a fat girlfriend. Whoever this som'bitch is, that fact is that Asian men ARE coming into their own, step by step. People like him should just accept it and deal with it. You've had to get used to the idea of black men with white women, and it's about time you dealt with the idea of white women going for us (And in the same breath, our own Asian women shunning you over Asian men.). So Commander, get a load off, and go stroke yourself in the corner somewhere else.
Another Asian Guy who's getting what he's entitled to. Tuesday, August 21, 2001 at 13:38:56 (PDT)

I like this Commander Doorknob character. His complacent thinking sets the stage perfectly for the coming world domination by Asians. It would be great if more whites think the way he does.

He's probably too young to remember that once upon a time, Americans made fun of Japanese cars. The joke was that if you scratched away the paint, you would see that the body was made from Coca Cola cans.

That arrogance was perfect for the Japanese auto manufacturers. A few years later they utterly destroyed and humiliated their European and American competitors.

If Asians can *never* compete against whites, then how could the above have ever come to pass?

While Commander Doorknob is explaining this impossibility, maybe we should also ask him to explain why America had to withdraw from Korea and Vietnam in shame. Maybe it was because the white victory was so overwhelming that American soldiers had to run home to Mommy with tail between collective hind legs.

We're waiting for your answer, little twit. Why don't you dazzle us with your superior white intellect?

And if it is impossible for Asian men to compete with white men in the romantic arena, maybe the hot babes I banged last month are the result of skillful plastic surgery, and not really Caucasian after all.

Hang on to your delusions, Commander Doorknob. May you never wake up and smell the coffee.
