Because they are spineless. Also, Blacks are the only people that make cacs insecure.
People underestimate the benefits of having a mainland culture and country to draw from. So much currency, culturally, socially, economically, generationally, representatively...
There is a world of difference between a group of people having to CREATE a culture in a completely new environment while being decimated and attacked at every turn, and others coming from already established countries. I don't give excuses to blk Americans who ain't doing what they need to do but the scope of what we face in comparison to these other communities is a completely different animal.
Asians keep their money in their communities. They have a culture of work with and doing business with their own kind. They even use Asian owned banks. Of all ethnicities, they are the least politically involved but they understand the power of economics. We should take notes from them.
They dont pose a systemic threat to white supremacy the way blacks do... and for the most part have no political aspirations.
I'm just saying. I'm tired of hearing nikkas talking about poverty growing up. The only responsibility you got growing up is taking your ass to school to get a education. It's not like nikkas had bills too worry about as a kid.
I lived in Hawaii right now. And these Micronesia and Asians are living an way worse condition than any of hoods in Cleveland, Akron, Youngstown from my own eyes. These Asians are broke as fukk. I seen family of 5 living in a single room and another family of 5 living in the next room. A small 2 bedroom apartment with 10 personal household. You'll never know any of this because they're not crying and lying about their tough upbringing.
Agree with everything except the last sentence. Black people and specifically AAs used to operate this way, during Reconstruction and Jim Crow era. Adopting these practices in the future would mean going back to the old ways, not copying another group.Asians keep their money in their communities. They have a culture of work with and doing business with their own kind. They even use Asian owned banks. Of all ethnicities, they are the least politically involved but they understand the power of economics. We should take notes from them.
No. The thread title sounded like a segment of the debate that I was parodying. Reading the OP, he was talking about Asians in America.This isn’t an argument for why Asians in America aren’t under systematic white supremacy. That’s the claim that you co-signed.
Nigerian American poster made a thread about this exact same scenario (without the violence)Yup, from all the asian friends I know this is basically the mindset. The only other two groups of minorities I know in my area that tend to be on this mindset is Nigerians and Indians. And they also happen to be some of the most successful folks I know (locally at least). Actually Nigerians on average are the highest earning minority group in America because of it.
That mindset of studying for jobs that PAY or otherwise building businesses is huge. I know a Nigerian chick that told me her pops literally smacked her brother across the face for saying he wanted to make music. Doctors only. As of this year I think she's finishing up med school this fall, and her brother walked last spring. Younger brother will prob walk with a med degree in the coming years.
Not saying it's always the right way to go, but having those strict expectations as a kid seems to be working very well for some groups. I'm not mad at it. Might do the same when I have kids.
THIS. You start doing well in school, EVERYONE tries to break you down because they can't stand the idea of a black person doing better than them. It's why I stay quiet about grades and finances with anyone not family. They actively go out of their way to sabotage you so that you "know your place".Because they are spineless. Also, Blacks are the only people that make cacs insecure.
There's a ton of illegal Asians, ever heard of snakeheads?I can't speak on the racism front, but they uniformly do better than average across the west for a fairly straight forward reason: economic migration. Asians aren't refugees, nor do they come from extreme poverty. Migrating to America/the West legally is a difficult procedure that bars the lower/middle-income classes of the third world from entering. This means that the vast majority of them entering are people that have money, ability, ambition or a plan of action. When I was in university here in Europe, the majority of Asian students were from Hong Kong whose parents held higher end white collar jobs which wasn't true for the vast majority of ethnic minorities or even the native whites.
I also think their culture should be credited. I was looking into the economic boom of South Korea in the 60's and 70's, and it's impressive how much they sacrificed for the following generation. People lived in complete poverty, yet emphasised education, ensured their children went to school and created a culture where status was correlated directly to education. Want a good job? School. Want to marry a worthwhile girl? School. Want respect from your peers? School. They're stressing their kids to point where their national education ministry have to tackle the problematic suicide rates of students.
