Question about Asian GLOs

Stan, I have seen much more beef between different Asians (ie Koreans against Filipinos) than I have between whites and asians.

Lumping Asians into one category and then saying that whites exploited Asians when building railroads for example probably also allows for some groups to take credit for others' suffering.

Hell no....I've even talked to a lot of Filipinos who don't think Filipinos fall under "Asian". Ever notice on questionaires that under ethnicity, there's often a box for each "Asian", "Pacific Islander", and even "Filipino"?

The area where my dad grew up in Detroit was primarily Italian and Fillipino. Both groups were discriminated against big time in their high school so they formed the Essex Avenue Brotherhood Association (EABA for short). They were a tight group of guys and are still in touch today. Some weren't able to tell the difference between the Italians and the Fillipinos. One of the Fillipinos them had a last name of Monticello. When I moved into the house I'm in now and met the neighbors, they told me their last name was Monticello and I asked if they had relatives in Warren. They didn't and said that their last name is Italian. In short, surnames don't always give away ethnicity!

i don't think there is anything wrong with my comments on the stereotypes that are being written on this board.

See, but in your case you weren't JUST defending your race. You openly attacked Ivory just because her "being Asian" wasn't the same as your "being Asian". You even went as far as saying "Thank God I'm a Delta Delta Delta"...were you insinuating that your GLO was more superior than hers?

Judging from your username it appears that you've chosen the legal profession as your trade of choice. Is it acceptable to attack those in court (and say, call them IGNORANT) and question their character just because their opinions don't match yours?

No disrespect intended, I was just wondering simply from reading the obvious.

No one gives a flying piece of dog doodoo what your race is. What's wrong with your comments is that they were totally nasty and uncalled for towards Ivory (Firecracker)

Thank you, kddani... I was just about to post something saying the exact same thing!


NYCLawyer... I usually try not and post in heated topics, but if you would like to make aggressive, attacking comments towards other GC posters, as a fellow sister, please refrain from posting your letters. Not only do you make yourself look bad, but it reflects on Tridelta as a whole.
I know you are new to GC, so you haven't learned the nuances and norms of posting here. It is not necessarily what you are posting, but how you are posting and blantantly attacking another member. Firecracker was gracious and classy enough to extend the symbolic white flag, but I promise you many GC members will not give you the same courtesy in a similar situation.

I don't think the comments on this board are necessarily sterotypes. They sometimes come from people's own personal experiences. My high school graduating class was probably 40% Chinese, and many of these girls were very spoiled and yes, "too hip to care" about many issues. I can't say that all Chinese girls in Canada are like that, but many come from families where parents are so busy that to show that they love their kids, they give them money and other materialistic things. It's sad, but true.

uhhh...that's not just a chinese thing. that's a rich family thing. has nothing to do with culture.

NYCLawyer's post didn't make any sense. Firecracker's chapter is fairly common knowledge on here, everyone knows she went to UTC. I have no doubt as to her KD affiliation.

Now NYCLawyer on the other hand.... lol... who even knows if she's a Delta Delta Delta

[starang21]

lol, people from different orgs. asking for chapter info.

i wish another greek would press me.
