WHAT YOU SAY

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

yeah, that's amy tan, the self hating asian american. All of her protagonists seem to find asian men as turn-offs, in a world where asian with asian couples are incompatible. The white man understands, and in the end, always gets the self-hating conception. It's disgusting.

I've heard of cultural integration but she's advertising ethnic prostitution to an exclusive clientelle.

in the end, with individuals like Amy Tan, the greatest threat to the Yellow Peril itself is not from the resilience of the white man to withstand the rise of asian society, but rather, from the asian woman. And if this comes full circle, we will be no more.

Responding to a very old post, ahem...

Bitch Slap This,

Hate to break it to you, but whites ARE the cause of everyone's problems (at least the majority), here's a list of all the things whites and white Europeans did:

The Crusades: why do you think Islamic countries hate "the West" so much?

The Inquisition: a perfect example of Christian hypocracy.

Witch burnings in Europe and America: it doesn't help your historic image that most of these "witches" were women. And why the %&^% did it happen in America, whatever happed to religious freedom?

The genocide of the Natives of the Americans: there were close to 10 milliion people living in North America before 1492, in 1900, they number less than a million (they're population is growing now, however). Where do you suppose they went? Oh yeah, massacred by the "civilized" white colonists.

The African Slave Trade: why do you think Africa is so poor today? centuries of exploition by white European powers, of course.

All the crap Africa and Asia suffered because of imperialism: I'l so glad they beat/shamed your ass out of their countries after WWII.

Nazi holocaust during WWII: After the death of 5 or so million Jews and other minority, the white Europeans see that the Jews clearly can't live in Europe, so what did European countries and America do? They created a country in the Middle East by carving a territory from Palestine, which created instant enemies of Jews and Palestinians. They are still fighting today and the Middle East will probably never see peace.

Racial segragation in the US: This may have ended but the wide-spread economic discrimination against blacks still haven't. The average black American earns less than the average white American for the same job.

So what if the whites started the Industrial Revolution, they also create mass-pollution with all the factories they built (that just happened to use a lot of immigrant and child and female labor who worked 12+ hour days for less than a dollar). The mass-pollution started a trend all over the world and is causing global warming right now.

And I hate to say this, but with pockets of neo-nazism in Europe and KKK white supremacits in the States, its hard to see racism coming from anywhere else.

Anywhays, in trying not to get off topic, I think Asian American males are on average going to be better off and better educated than the white majority, but that doesn't necessarily make them a threat.

Mai:

I read the "Memoir of a Geisha" too, it is by Arthur Golden. Really good book.
I like the Joy Luck Club too though.

i read that book (joy luck club) .and that kitchen wife thingie or whatever ....it's alrite( can't believe it was a bestseller) . but did you read "memoires of a geisha" ? (author was some white guy i think...correct me if i'm wrong, too lazy to look in my shelf) i find it waaayyy more interesting than the joy luck club

screw the joy luck club...it's terrible book written by a self hating asian woman. Isn't it funny how the mainstream and best selling asian theme books involve asian women bashing asian men or geisha girl fantasy stories? Well welcome to the real world...the sooner we face it the better off we'll know how to combat it...
