WHAT YOU SAY
[This page is closed to new input. --Ed.]
I came to this board because I just have alot on my mind. I also have been through alot. I lost my jobs to unqualified foreigners. I was more qualified for the job, I have been there for 4 years for pete sake! And what do they do? They hired Asians and Blacks and ended up laying me off. Its things like this that makes me angry. I feel like its the fault of the affirmative action and civil rights. I don't feel that I'm a supremacist. My wife has a Black lady friend who visits her. If I had a problem with the Blacks then why would I let my wife hang around Monique? So no I am not a supremacist. I also just feel that injustice is mostly given to us. Foreigners have taken our jobs our women. My sister is dating a Jap. He got her pregnant. He has no respect for her yet she says she loves him. Then my sister's friend just married a Black man two months ago. I just don't get it. Whats wrong with being with a good White man? Whats wrong with it? This is the crap that annoys me. People that go on and on about the indians being the real americans. The indians trekked her from asia or someplace. America was open game for whoever. It was survival of the fittest. Everyone complains and complains off the sweat and blood my grandfathers shed to make this country what it is today! And it is being destroyed by the foreigns now!
your whining for what?

What are you whining for is the most uninformed, uneducated piece of writing I have ever read. It is bad enough that he says awful, untrue things about all other ethnicities other than his own, but he also seems to put claim on women, the United States, and the world. Whoever wrote this post should crack open a history book and read it. Stop using race as a scapegoat for your own failures in life.

Does your bigoted extended family treat you badly because you are part Asian? Or they only hate blacks and moslems and perhaps Hispanics as well (unless of course the Hispanic looks white?).

Rare Stuff,
Yea whatever.
Everybody's is all fired up just because I stated some facts. The fact is you Asians and Blacks took my job away. You are the reasons for me getting laid off! The next job I got I was fired. Wanna know why? Because a damn foreigner accused me of punching the clock too late everyday. It just makes me PO'd! You unqualified foreigners taking my jobs away! And I see that you are all chasing White women. When are you going to give us our due recognition? When? I had nothing to do with indians. They trekked here from someplace, asia or something. This was not their country. This was open game for whoever wanted it. You all don't appreciate the blood sweat and tears my fathers shed to create this country. You owe us at least a thankyou and an apology for ruining this country!

I feel as if I occupy a precarious niche in society. I am half white and half Asian. I see myself, especially now, as more Asian than anything else, but I look all white (not the blonde-blue eyed type, the dark Mediterranean type), therefore to the world I am white; and therefore a racist, capitalist imperialist even before I have said a word.
On the other side, my white side of the family is brimming with nouvelle racists, from my aunt who refused to sell her house to a black woman (for fear she would be the target of harassment from the mostly white surrounding community, a lame excuse if I've ever heard one) to my mother's cousin who blames all Muslims for all the miseries of the world. If I try to criticize them, I am told to be quiet; in other words, not to disturb the sweet piece of our precious family.
I have never had a boyfriend. I do sort of prefer Asian men, but from my experience, no man of any race wants a tall girl like me unless she's also a supermodel. And anyway, for all intents and purposes I'm white and therefore if I date an Asian man either one of two things is true: we're both satisfying some sort of weird fetish or we're just going through a phase that we will get over.
I don't believe these things. This is what society says.
I don't mean to sound like my life is one big sob-story. I've been very fortunate, with a supportive family (except for the aforementioned bigots) and I do have friends (rather, I did, until we scattered to the four winds for college), but I sometimes feel as if there is no place in the world for someone like me.

Editors,
I noticed that the character who goes by "What are you whining for?" is spoofing one of my IP addresses, unless there's another reason for it. What the hell?!? I wasn't gonna say anything at first. But it did seem kinda odd having a post of that nature on this forum. Apparently the poster had other intentions in mind.
Are you sure these are actual IPs of posters or something else? Thanks.

[We are aware of no way to spoof the automated "remote host" function. We would be quite interested to know if that were possible.
Were you sharing a computer with another person? Possibly you share a dialup account with someone in your household or dorm. It's also possible that the post is from an office co-worker who would have the same IP address. If not, we'd say you're trying to spoof us with a false accusation. --Ed]
What Are You Whining For;
you don't own White women nor this land, we do so perhaps you might be more comfortable in New zealand or OZ. I hear your kind is more comfortable there.

Historian,
"Let us take the serial killers and murderers...except for 9/11 they all happen to be white, and as per the US calculation, the 9/11 murderers are classified as white.
(...)Like all those white savages who have gone on rampage in schools during the past four years or so...Columbine,CO Springfield, OR, Jonesboro, AR? Give me evidence."
Let a non-Christian/non-humanist Asian male do research on the topics of serial killings and (school) shootings by whites and he'll find out that this is not the heritage of any ancient culture. Rather these are the late consequences of a certain Christian humanist syncretism which heavily emphasized anti-human concepts.
The influence of MAD ANNOYING MISSIONARIES in our ancestors' countries in Asia is still relatively sparse, though increasing. In the Western white-dominated countries it's already a question of every Asian's individual endurance if s/he can resist the official white-washing propaganda, or not.
Factually, the majority of the whites is facing a white "culture" without any ties to their own ancestors, without any tolerance for private space ("big brother" mentality). They cannot accept social ties (which would be common in Asia) because their cultural situation is shaped by endless dictatorships and wars in Europe. The motto always being "be ready for the next war". Ironically many whites are naive enough to believe that they would be social enough to teach other races what "common sense" is. Maybe those whites' parents have thrashed their children's last brain cells out of the heads.

Historian,
Me thinks you're forgetting something...
Uh, um, like a certain epidemic that kinda tore Europe a new asshole in the Middle Ages. All those wonderful white people -- like about a third of their population at the time -- who were so viciously massacred by that evil, horrible Osama bin Black Plague. All because of the stinky smelly peeeooow what's-this-poop-doing-in-my-soup sanitary conditions they had lived in. But I suppose those mexicans, blacks, and asians are to blame for all of that. Uh, yeah, yeah that's the ticket! It was those foreign rats that did it all, damn foreigners! :-P
And I didn't know they allowed sooooooo many 'savages' into college these days, must be that affirmative action thingy ;-)
