I.e. my boss is old and a bigot, he has said the N-word to me justifying why words are harmless. Well... Let's say I can live in suspended animation for roughly 2 seconds before I need to catch my breath, but going off on my boss--not gonna happen--with enough psychotropic meds. Anyhow, he told a co-worker of mine who is Asian, that he appears "suicidal"... I could see that my co-worker was obviously pissed. I usually wind up saying some crazy stuff to my professor... Like, discussing opiate and cannabinoid receptor turnover...

Now what does that have to do with racist Asians who came to Canada long after anti-Asian immigration laws were repealed again??

All I'm saying is that Asian cultures are often very racist, sometimes with their own cultural groups as well (Western born Asians going to the "old country" to work often talk about locals not really grasping that they too can be foreign.)
