By the way, you guys remember when dudes were boycotting random Chinese-American restaurants back during the SARS outbreak?Like damn, boycotting Panda Express and Mr. Chau's is not gonna save you from getting SARS...

I have no doubt that there are Trump supporters doing that, but at least this time around I haven't seen it in the Bay Area

Right On Cue!!

Sales at NYC’s Chinatown Restaurants Plummet Following Coronavirus Panic

Other restaurateurs in Manhattan’s Chinatown told the New York Times this week that they’ve seen sales plummet by up to 70 percent in the past 10 days. Due to a variety travel restrictions stemming from the virus scare, the city is also suffering from a sharp decline in incoming Chinese tourists

Thank you for your incredible support these past months. You all have uplifted me and inspired me and Evelyn and this campaign at every turn. Your passion and energy. Your donations and hundreds of thousands of hours of calling and volunteering. Your enthusiasm, dedication and commitment.

We have accomplished so much together. We have brought a message of Humanity First and a vision of an economy and society that works for us and our families to millions of our fellow Americans.

We went from a mailing list that started with just my Gmail contact list to receiving donations from over 430,000 people and support from millions more across the country.

One of the things I’m most proud of -- we gave $1,000 a month for a year to 13 families across the country.

We highlighted the real problems in our communities as our economy is being transformed before our eyes by technology and automation. We stood on the debate stage and shifted our national conversation to include the fourth industrial revolution, a topic no one wanted to touch.

Our signature proposal, Universal Basic Income, has become part of the mainstream conversation. We increased the popular support for Universal Basic Income to 66% of Democrats and 72% among voters 18-34.

And without a doubt, we accelerated the eradication of poverty in our society by years, perhaps even generations,

And that is thanks to all of YOU!

Though thousands of voters came out for our campaign tonight in New Hampshire, it is not the outcome we fought so hard for. It is bitterly disappointing for many of us.

But it should not be.

Every single day I’ve had supporters say to me:

“Your campaign helped me out of a depression. Thank you.”

“Working on this campaign has made me a better human being.”

“I met my significant other because of you.”

“Your campaign brought my family together. Your campaign got me excited about politics for the first time.”

These are all things that people have said to me in the past days. I’m incredibly proud of this campaign. We have touched and improved millions of lives and moved this country we love so much in the right direction.

And while there is great work left to be done, I am the MATH guy. And it is clear tonight from the numbers that we are not going to win this race. I am not someone who wants to accept donations and support in a race that we will not win.

And so tonight, I am suspending my campaign for president.

This is not an easy decision. Endings are hard and I’ve always intended to stay in this race until the very end. But I have been convinced that the message of this campaign will not be strengthened by my staying in this race any longer.

Endings are hard. But this is not an ending.

This is a beginning.

This is the starting line. This campaign has awakened something fundamental in this country and ourselves.

We’ve outlasted over a dozen senators, governors, and members of Congress and become the most exciting force in this entire race.

The Yang Gang has fundamentally shifted the direction of this country and transformed our politics, and we are only continuing to grow.

My goal when I first started was always to solve the problems that got Donald Trump elected. And I know in order to do that, I will support whoever is the Democratic nominee. That said, I hope this campaign can be a message, and word of caution, to all of my Democratic colleagues.

Donald Trump is not the cause of all of our problems. He is a symptom. We must cure the disease that got him elected, and in order to do that we must address the real problems that affect our people and offer solutions to actually solve them.

Those solutions are bold, and many think they are crazy. But I hope my campaign has made it a little less crazy to think we can lead our country to eradicate poverty. In fact, five candidates in this field have already supported it or expressed openness to supporting Universal Basic Income.

I stand before you today and say that while we did not win this election, we are just getting started.

This is the beginning.

This movement is the future of American politics.

This movement is the future of the Democratic party.

This wave is just beginning and it will continue to build until we rewrite the rules of this economy to work for us, the people of this country.

Thank you to each and every person who made this campaign possible, I love and appreciate you. Being your candidate has been the privilege of my life. We will continue to do the work and move this country forward.

Thank you all. God bless you. And God bless the United States of America.

that culture is crazy there, you can tell she wanted to punch that interviewer in the mouth. She shut her family meeting down when she shot back at her people and said "You talk about your kids make you happy. All you ever said was you want to see your kids be happy and you'll be happy but that's ********. After all, I'm your child and yet I apparently don't bring you any happiness

Kai Sotto 17, 7'2, Filipino. Ranked #11 Center for class 2020, 68th overall, on ESPNs top 100.

Don't keep up with prospects or even college ball but he looks like he has potential to make it to the league. He's talking to colleges now.

I was just thinking about something similar when reading that post.

Japanese Americans and other Asian Americans =/= Things done by Japan

It's an American issue. Putting Asian-Americans in camps because of their ethnicity/race deserves an apology and doesn't hinge on Japan.

Minute mark 19:12 and vid thumbnail.
Been a long minute even months since I’ve watched his vids.
And don’t think he has a hateful mentality. Very chill.
But does he realize what those guys are and connected to?



Any one should be proud of where they’re from and what they are.
But don’t expect no reaction.
