Asian Culture Discussion Thread

[wballz]

I more so meant do your home countries' acknowledge the presence of Africans as being the first people that occupied the land.

I assume it is similar to how our history breezes over Native Americans and their contributions to society but at lease we acknowledge that we wiped them out.

Again not trying to start anything so if you feel disrespected, don't. Just wondering how wide-scale the world's governments are with education based deception

Nahh... no disrespect taken.

Well, every human on earth came from Africa. That's acknowledged at school. That's about it.

In terms of aboriginals, they get treated as second class citizens currently. But they are acknowledged in History books for sure. But the focus is more so on the aboriginals, since they're history living in the land is much more recent.

Someone with higher acumen in Sociology can probably answer your question. E.g. assumming they took in depth courses in the colleges back in Asia.

youtube is a weird place. It’s been months since people were mad at that douche logan paul but he seems to be flourishing more than ever. he’s getting streaming ppv boxing matches against other youtubers, he’s calling out sage northcutt ufc fighter for a fight, other youtubers make vids about him and get hundreds of thousands or millions of views, his sucka asian gf got back with him. Guess it helps that most of his fans are kids and other youtubers have no problem to use his name to get themselves views.

Reminds me a little of how pewdie pie seems to like the nazis but that hasn’t affected his popularity with his kid audience at all.

Unfortunately I’m not surprised, I’m sure most of us who found that video ignorant and offensive never heard of him or seen his **** before. The majority of his fans from what I can tell are young white kids who probably yell racist **** to other people when playing online on PS4. Chloe Bennet is a huge disappointment though.

I think more people need to get their *** beat by asians, they ain't afraid of the repercussions.

You don't see places like Dubai or the middle east let people like Logan Paul roam around causing problems. It's usually places in Asia with people that look up to white people and let them do whatever they want. The police there won't use brute force on them either despite being disrespected, which is unlike the police in America

 

[QU!K]

Like I would like to see Logan Paul act a fool in North Korea, or even Singapore

Places like Dubai and Middle East go a bit far tho.

Cause like yo there might be a chance I'm jailed for life or killed for acting a fool

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Do Asians have a term like Uncle Tom in the Blacj community.

Like do yall look side eyed at folks that tap dance fkr white people's approval?

Its not so much that they look up to white people, more so that they think they dont know any better because of the cultural difference. There are plenty of videos from China where you have local folk acting way more blatant and disrespectful towards police without getting a beating.

 

[frink85]

In japan the police/society are a lot more civil or respectful than to beat up some internet loser. Send him home and be done

I guess the closest would be “banana” but that’s more internal than external towards white people

 

[sea manup]

Its also a cultural thing where, especially in American culture, people are way more likely to get offended and see someone acting a fool as a threat/challenge to their ego. Which results in more physical altercations.

 

[Nujavez]

Banana or Twinkie maybe lol...

Quick question, I'm guessing you're black. Is there a leniency in regards to being racist towards asians in the black community? From what I've observed there's a lot of nonchalant black on asian racism. Whether its making fun of accents, talking about "chinky" eyes. "Hurry up and buy" etc. It's possible movies like don't be a menace have contributed to this in someway.

This happens in society in general. Racism and discrimination against Asian Americans is sort of just looked over.

I can answer that for you, as an asian who grew up in a black community. yes, there is a leniency. not saying all/everyone, but its there. the biggest part of it is just ignorance imo.
ppl in my hs didnt even know the difference between china and Asia.

all good though. ended up going to the best state public school and never had to worry about that problem again

Racism vs. Asians (From Blacks)? Nah.

Black people aren't in any true position of power to create/maintain a system that holds Asians down.

But if we are talking about Bigotry, yes. It happens alot.

The main one is probably assuming any person from the Far East is Chinese.

But also remember, it works both way. Many blacks feel certain Asian groups come into their communities, set up shop, make $ off of blacks, and don't give back and/or engage with the community in which they serve.

And we know how the WORLD feels about black folks.

Hong kong my home and then Japan which I've never been to, haven't been on a plane in 5 years I look forward to it

I didn't mean systemic racism, but generally clowning on, insulting, assaulting, robbing, being targeted as a weak race. I feel like it's caused a lot of fear from ignorance from the older generations.

Many younger asians are much more open minded and welcoming

I can understand the not giving back part. Generally from what I've observed a lot of asians aren't big on charity. Asians are really about saving their hard earned money and keeping it in the family.

There is a lot of undercover racism like I mentioned from older generations, but again i think a lot of it is fear and ignorance not hatred. Not trying to make an excuse or anything of course.

Thank you very much

Uncle Chan.

Charlie Chan, White Washed.

Banana/Twinkie: at least for my experience I think these terms were used more as a distinction between the Asian- American vs. the native Asian.
e.g. Korean-American vs. "Korean".

I think some don't realize that for many Asian- Americans, a clear distinction is made from themselves and the "fobs". But also there can be just as much disdain for the Asian-American, that can't speak the language, or outside of pop culture, has little knowledge of history or culture.

Then again, I'm sort of old, half Kor-Am/Fob. My perceptions are probably outdated.
Fob Asian meant "Long Duk Dong" when I was a kid. I think perception has changed, wasn't too long ago "Asians in the library" happened. At best "Rain" "PSY" or "BTS" perhaps? can't shake the feeling it's still the same "Charlie Chan" clowning, just packaged differently for today's world...
Then again in my immediate area, it's pretty well known there's a "difference" between the two groups. I think the native Asians being widely known to have most expensive cars/watches/style etc and looked as well to do but snobby.

Sorry, that was a little off topic...

I've had a situation few years ago: Asian- American chopping it up with a white person, wondering why there were so many Asians out and not watching the game when an Asian (Hong Chi Kuo I think it was) was pitching. White person responds with something along the lines of "yeah don't all Asians love baseball?" and seemed absolutely shocked and terrified when I had words for him. It was like he couldn't fathom an "Asian" being angry and aggressive. Asian American guy made me nearly lose it with a "come on bro don't be like one of those...."

Interestingly enough, a Black person stopped me from escalating the situation with a reminder that if I hit the guy and the police come, who's side will they be on?

I'm older and wiser now though.
