I don't think you get it. Saying that one isolated incedent means that ALL white people look bad is akin to me saying that when I try to get gas in a certain neighborhood and a black lady tries to sell me drugs that makes all black people look like drug dealers.
In truth there are low-life morons no matter what the color of their skin.
If you think that these good 'ol boys playing dress up KKK makes ME look bad than you need to consider that you may be effected by some degree of prejudice against me as a white male.
I don't recall any backlash against chinese americans after that plane incedent... But if something did happen that's exactly what I'm talking about. This is a perfect example of prejudice -- a bunch of yay - hoos that think that if one country doesn't like the USA, the entire race must be the same.
-- What I'm saying is that the above described behavior is something that should be avoided. Especially by anyone claiming to be educated and/or open minded.

you don't have to recall it, you never got any of it. i do, don't believe me? ask an asian person. you're obviously quite naive. if you would ever read any of those post, i'm not making blanket statements of white people. i'm talking about the perception other races are going to have of them. shoot, this isn't even an isolated incident. read fuzzie's post. everyone else has gotten it, why haven't you? and yes, there are ignorant people who actually believe stuff like that. so don't pretend there aren't idiots out there like that. i've seen those pics.
