Asians in the Library...

My favorite part is "I don't mean against any of my friends, I mean it towards random people who I don't know...."

That's the same thing as "some of my bestfriends are (insert race/ethnicity/culture)."

This young lady looks dumb and sounds dumb. She prefaced her dumb with "I'm not the most politically correct person." That's admission of stupidity which means you need to shut up.

And her friends are dumb as hell if they don't clown the hell out of her. Her Asian friends are idiots if they remain friends with her.

Worst part is how she completely botched up her apology video by slipping in an off-handed racist remark: "white people manners."

Unnecessary.

I already have that posted on my facebook lol. I just don't know how some people can be so shallow... SMH.
A few parts that are true:
1. We do talk loud because that's just how our language is.
2. If we want to talk shit about people around us, we will use our language (for most part :P )
3. We do take our shoes off when we walk in the house.

There are some other good videos out there... Hopefully this girl get mocked for a while....

I hear you but intragroup assessments are different than intergroup assessments. The observations that the many ethnicities and cultures of "Asians" can make of themselves and each other are distinct from nonAsians sitting around and making observations for the purpose of mocking and labeling.

LOL @ some of it
:rolleyes: @ some of it. It's always dumb to revert to sexism (or any other -ism) in response to someone's stupidity (and what some would consider a form of racism).

My wife tells me all the time I talk really loud on the phone when talking to my mom (she's caucasian), even though I don't really notice. You have no idea how many times I get yelled at for wearing shoes in the house...crazy Asian rules.

I know. That was more like a "if you mock me and I will mock you back" mentality. I just hope this can all go away. Unnecessary drama. (hell, by posting this I'm spreading the drama also :p )

The racism and resentment is becoming a big deal at UCLA, and elsewhere in the UC system, Cal State system, and among aspiring California college students in general. A lot of caucasians complain that they can't get into the UC schools because they're filled with asian students from all over the U.S. (many first generation Americans). The people I know who went to UCLA (and this was 10 years ago) used to call it University of Caucasians Lost in Asians. California did away with affirmative action in public school admissions 10-12 years ago, but I know a lot of people who think it should be reinstated so that more white people can get in.

Such folks need to blame someone, right? Anyone who actually believes that does not deserve a place at a UC.

Yep. It's primarily the white folks that wanted to do away with affirmative action admissions. They got what they wanted.

And here we have the statement of the decade. :)

So you are in favor of banning someone who believes a certain way from a public place?

LatinaAlumna 03-18-2011 11:09 AM

I'm in favor of banning stupid people from UC.
