im cambodian from oakland and i can say that 100%, without a shadow of doubt that i am for sure not about that life

but you aren’t kiddin..unfortunately a handful of those cambodian dudes who were bangin back in 90s and early 2000s who changed their lives and were trying to do better are now catchin deportation cases due to repatriation agreements with Cambodia

one of my asian american studies profs introduced this film to us a long time ago. I think its an important watch

After escaping the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, the Ny family became one of thousands of refugees faced with resettlement in the U.S. Their lives unfold through the lens of this stirring video diary. As 18-year-old Sokly Ny (Don Bonus) struggles to graduate from high school, his family is harassed in the housing projects, his eldest brother cannot fill a dead father’s shoes and his youngest brother ends up in a youth prison. Sokly shares these experiences, his personal feelings and his hopes as the year progresses. Ultimately, A.K.A DON BONUS becomes a story of triumph and survival from the perspective of one of America’s newest arrivals.

I went to Galileo (Don's HS) as well by the way

Bro, I dont think I can watch that because I would get so mad.

I heard theres hundreds of thousands of undocumented women in China because of the one - child rule.\

I read my first book about Mao and the Cultural Revolution during college and I was shocked how *** backward China was back then (Great Leap Forward/Cultural Revolution era).

Its a pretty harrowing watch to be honest. They interview one of the doctors who performed tens of thousands of forced abortions/sterilizations on women

Theres a part in the documentary where an artist talks about a photo of a trash heap that he took and started noticing many fetuses from the abortions among the trash

Yeah the CCP has a long track record of A S S hat policies.

First they wanted everyone to make babies to fuel the revolution. Oh snap! We didn't plan to feeding or providing resources to all these babies. One child policy now.

Can’t forget the classic Down to the Countryside movement!

17 million college age youths exiled from the cities to do labor in coal mines and impoverished rural areas

LETS MAKE OUR COUNTRY BETTER BY KILLING ALL THE INTELLECTUALS LIKE DOCTORS AND TEACHERS!

Saw this movie many years ago.
Made me so depressed on how much Chinese people suffered during those decades.

You can watch the whole movie on Youtube

I can stomach a lot of things, but Nanking and Unit 731 are really hard for me

I would never hold it against the Japanese people of today for that. All it does is breed more hatred. But those things "Nanking/Unit731" should always be remembered to showcase how evil people can be to each other if misguided by hatred.

Documentary recommendation :

after i watched this , i asked my then indonesian girlfriend if i could be a preman. she was like "if you want to but why?! how did you even learn that word? "

I honestly wonder if there is any other thread online that has this much discussion and celebration about this many different aspects of different Asian cultures. (and not be a complete flame war about which culture is better)
I've been on NT for almost 20 years now. And I've never been prouder.

Truly a melting pot AKA the Asian American Experience

Except for E everysingletime

Petition to ban E everysingletime ?

I already spoke to Meth about it, but he didn't think "lack of movie taste" was grounds for banishment.

There's threads on Reddit but those fools are weird. Most of their discussions are just complaining. One thread was about the increased racism and violence against Asians now and they were saying they don't wanna hear anymore discussions about some Asians being prejudice against blacks. As if one cancelled the other.

 

[computersputin]

I was thinking about reddit while I was type that post. But I'm sure reddit is bad as ********.

Edit : They censored H T ??
