Now ask yourself why!
 Quoting: GSB/LTD


Their culture is based upon the sanctity of the FAMILY and how each family contributes to the whole of society... and that every family supports ITSELF to maintain that internalized structure.

It's this inherent culture that makes it shameful for them to accept government handouts and instead they rely upon their own hard work to succeed.

But, there's another underlying reason why they avoid minority groups and instead choose to live among themselves in their own segregated communities... communities that govern from within, where agitators that will disrupt the harmony are not tolerated.

More than any other on the planet, the Asians practice racial preservation. They strive to keep their bloodlines pure and as undiluted as possible and even today they consider interbreeding to be a social evil that will eventually reduce them down to a lower level. That's why you'll rarely see an Asian girl on a Black guy's arm... and virtually never on that of a Hispanic.

Post-WWII, Korea and Vietnam, entire Asian families were ripped apart as daughters were banished when GI's took them home as war brides and those rifts rarely healed over time. Those daughters -and their children- were forever outcast as unclean.

And, male offspring of those unions were especially shunned because it was rightfully believed they would only perpetuate those cultural dilutions. As odd as it may sound, one attribute used to measure how much racial impurity was present in an Asian man was his bodyhair! The more hirsute an Asian man was the more it was believed his natural "purity" had been compromised and they've been ridiculed for it for centuries, going all the way back to when virgins were raped by invading, hairy hoards. And, they still are today... it's one of those things that is taught by the elders, but never discussed openly beyond that!

And that's the primary reason why Asians will not generally associate with races other than Caucasians - the cultural losses are considered to be too great to risk. While they may benignly tolerate the strong impact Caucasians have had upon their culture, they will never fully accept or condone it.

You'd better hope we DON'T ever go to war with China because they are a fiercely protective -and rightfully proud- people of their ancient culture and when the chips are down, most of those 5.9 million Chinese-Americans will not be fighting on the side of their adopted nation.

Didn't take much for millions to join in the genocide of their innocent fellow Chinese either. But they're such a noble, dignified race. So proud and united and stuff.

As a Japanese American I can honestly say that if my kid did this it would be so embarassing to the whole family. Actions reflect on the family. What did I do wrong to raise such a kid, etc. All the relatives would talk behind my back. At least that is what would happen in my family. Besides, my kids are too busy working to go to a protest.

DO you also believe that if a statue is torn down or a book is burned, the memory of the man it honored or the words expressed vanish as well?

If anything, such an action only reinforces the original meaning of those things even more.

Well as an American of Asian descent, I can say this......you can't pigeonhole "Asians" why?....cuz there are soooo many kinds....lol.....

Even within my family....I'm a Libertarian that voted for Trump....my Siblings are Democrats with one far lefty....I know where my alliance lies should hostilities break out.....I served as a paratrooper....to the poster that thinks Chinese Americans will back the CCP, Please look at history.....

I laugh when people say CCP is "my people"....ya mean the same people that try to wipe out my family bloodline during Mao's cultural revolution?.....most of my family escaped with the clothes on their back just ahead of the execution squads.....the SAME CCP that in China now, so I doubt the Chinese of my family's diaspora would help China....

If you are talking about the younger Chinese national students here then maybe you are right....they are the descendants of those that killed untold numbers of chinese landowners, businessmen, and intellectuals.....

I'm 2nd generation American and pretty much just think of myself as an American....product of public education and pop culture....

In Asian culture, you do NOTHING to shame yourself, especially not your family.

The rioting behavior is seen as a lack of control and dignity.

I am referring to east Asians.
 Quoting: Lady Jayne Smith


Bullshit. It's because there is no material reward to do so.

They have limited spiritual and moralistic ideals.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79133227


Your opinion.
 Quoting: Lady Jayne Smith


The correct answer is both!

Even as a White guy who's studied Chinese culture, I can grok this! I have a Chinese girlfriend and we've talked about the nature of Face. It's sometimes helpful and often devastating.

We both agreed that only the idiots with nothing better to do with their time would waste it getting beaten during riots and "demon-strations".

I'd like to thank everyone who's replied to my thread, respondents and readers alike. But now I'd like to take it to another, darker level and one I find deeply disturbing because current trends suggest it may become a grim reality as tensions mount in the South China Sea:

If the unthinkable should occur and we do find ourselves in a shooting war against China, what will the official U.S. policy be regarding the over 17-million Asian-Americans? As others have already pointed out, the term "Asian-American" itself is complex since it paints with a very broad brush that includes those who've become residents of the United States from China, India, Australia and all Pacific rim nations; and some maps extend that boundary to include Russia and deep into the Middle East, and many of those nations in the Pacific rim have already aligned themselves with the U.S. regarding the South China Sea. In total those nations easily comprise more half the Earth's populace. So this will become a true world war.

We've already witnessed the ham-handed approach the U.S. used in their treatment of Japanese-Americans following Pearl Harbor. So, will history repeat itself again as we round up American citizens -deeply loyal or otherwise- into internment centers? And if so, what will the measure of that loyalty be?

-Will it be an Oath that can easily be broken?
-Will official travel documents be issued that only allow them limited mobility or social activity?
-Will ID badges be required so they can be instantly recognized?
-Will they be simply forced into a form of house arrest or be fully rounded up into those legendary FEMA camps?

While all of these possibilities reek of the worst nightmares of outright Fascism they are valid questions all, since we've already seen how pervasively an invisible virus has altered our national mindset and deeply divided us into sometimes violent clashes over the mandated wearing of simple face masks. And in a case of declared war those divisions can/will make/break our nation as we start to see enemies of all kinds -both real and imagined- everywhere we look.

This would be a war totally unlike any other Americans have faced because -by default- it will occur right here at home in every neighborhood, in every town... not even the Civil War brought those coast-to-coast agonies.

And our great American melting-pot quickly boils over to scald everyone!

 Quoting: GSB/LTD


I has been my personal observation, with many Asian friends, from studying martial arts since a teenager, that most Asians really dislike the Chinese.

My friends of Japanese, Vietnamese, Korean, Thai and Phillipino heritage despise the Chinese. "China is asshoe" is an understatement. In martial arts schools, you never see Chinese students in any of the MA schools teaching the Arts of another Asian culture.

I am certain someone, somewhere will try to point to an outlier. I do not doubt outliers exist, but I have never experienced one.

The only time I ever trained with Chinese practitioners was in Krav. I never trained Kung Fu, but would be surprised if the schools had Asian students other than Chinese.

ETA: What I am trying to say, in very simple terms, is that to group other Asians with Chinese will really piss them off.

Not unlike how white people feel when some idiot tries to claim we are all nazi because the nazis had fair skin -- 99.8% of white people despise the nazis, and our ancestors fought and died to stop them.

Many an ancestor of Asians, not Chinese, fought against the Chinese. The Chinese have quite a history of trying to expand their footprint.

Thank you for that, Lady J!! It's actually encouraging to hear your personal experiences.

But if we should go to war, how do you think the feds will approach our own citizens via-a-vis their "loyalty"?? We don't exactly have a sterling historical track record there.

With over 17-million there is certain to be a percentage -however small it may be- that will oppose the United States in such a conflict... and we already have substantial populace that will take to the streets regardless.

As much as many current "protesters" are abusing their own Constitutional rights, I genuinely worry about how badly those same rights may be officially abused against innocents in a time of war. I suppose the biggest challenge would be what's facing officials right now: how do you separate the innocent from the guilty?

I'm old enough to remember the student protests against Vietnam [I had a draft lottery number myself] but the youth of then were a far more peaceful bunch than we have today where levels of intolerance have been deliberately provoked by social and broadcast media.

Post-WWII, Korea and Vietnam, entire Asian families were ripped apart as daughters were banished when GI's took them home as war brides and those rifts rarely healed over time. Those daughters -and their children- were forever outcast as "unclean."

We (USA) evacuated hundreds if not thousands of

bi-racial Vietnamese babies that were put into orphanages.

I think if we end up in a hot conflict with China, how we relate to Chinese Americans will depend on the actions of the Chinese Americans.

We must remember, many Chinese Americans are here because they were fleeing, often for their lives, from communism. They will have zero love lost for the CCP.

Now, we know the Chinese play the long game. I am quite concerned about the Chinese who will show up in the US with US passports, because their mommy came for a visit just in time to pop them out. They were born to be plants for the CCP. Other big concern is recent arrivals, and student VISAs. I think a BIG reason why POTUS said, "Hey, you are studying online. There is no reason for you to be here." Remember the fit thrown by the commie libtards?

IOW, I think people who live near Chinese will notice any changes in behavior.

All that said, I think we are also in great jeopardy of a US civil war during such a time. If so, those Chinese who are here to cause hate and discontent will find a final cessation of their actions. Quite possibly at the hands of the Chinese who fled to the US to escape the CCP. <---- Those Chinese people will notice the problem faster than we will, and will likely be merciless.

I don't expect camps. I expect our military to be far too busy fighting the CCP military. What happens here will be part of the civil war. Civilians do not have rules of engagement. If the CCP and the little libbie commie tards think fighting the civilian population will be just like how things are as they attack the police, or NG, they will be in for a terrifying awakening.

Re: Ever Notice The Scarcity of ASIANS Among U.S. Protesters? PG 8 UPDATE: TOPIC SHIFT!
Well as an American of Asian descent, I can say this......you can't pigeonhole "Asians" why?....cuz there are soooo many kinds....lol.....

Even within my family....I'm a Libertarian that voted for Trump....my Siblings are Democrats with one far lefty....I know where my alliance lies should hostilities break out.....I served as a paratrooper....to the poster that thinks Chinese Americans will back the CCP, Please look at history.....

I laugh when people say CCP is "my people"....ya mean the same people that try to wipe out my family bloodline during Mao's cultural revolution?.....most of my family escaped with the clothes on their back just ahead of the execution squads.....the SAME CCP that in China now, so I doubt the Chinese of my family's diaspora would help China....

If you are talking about the younger Chinese national students here then maybe you are right....they are the descendants of those that killed untold numbers of chinese landowners, businessmen, and intellectuals.....

I'm 2nd generation American and pretty much just think of myself as an American....product of public education and pop culture....

I'd like to thank everyone who's replied to my thread, respondents and readers alike. But now I'd like to take it to another, darker level and one I find deeply disturbing because current trends suggest it may become a grim reality as tensions mount in the South China Sea:

If the unthinkable should occur and we do find ourselves in a shooting war against China, what will the official U.S. policy be regarding the over 17-million Asian-Americans? As others have already pointed out, the term "Asian-American" itself is complex since it paints with a very broad brush that includes those who've become residents of the United States from China, India, Australia and all Pacific rim nations; and some maps extend that boundary to include Russia and deep into the Middle East, and many of those nations in the Pacific rim have already aligned themselves with the U.S. regarding the South China Sea. In total those nations easily comprise more half the Earth's populace. So this will become a true world war.

We've already witnessed the ham-handed approach the U.S. used in their treatment of Japanese-Americans following Pearl Harbor. So, will history repeat itself again as we round up American citizens -deeply loyal or otherwise- into internment centers? And if so, what will the measure of that loyalty be?

-Will it be an Oath that can easily be broken?
-Will official travel documents be issued that only allow them limited mobility or social activity?
-Will ID badges be required so they can be instantly recognized?
-Will they be simply forced into a form of house arrest or be fully rounded up into those legendary FEMA camps?

While all of these possibilities reek of the worst nightmares of outright Fascism they are valid questions all, since we've already seen how pervasively an invisible virus has altered our national mindset and deeply divided us into sometimes violent clashes over the mandated wearing of simple face masks. And in a case of declared war those divisions can/will make/break our nation as we start to see enemies of all kinds -both real and imagined- everywhere we look.

This would be a war totally unlike any other Americans have faced because -by default- it will occur right here at home in every neighborhood, in every town... not even the Civil War brought those coast-to-coast agonies.

And our great American melting-pot quickly boils over to scald everyone!

What say you?
 Quoting: GSB/LTD


I has been my personal observation, with many Asian friends, from studying martial arts since a teenager, that most Asians really dislike the Chinese.

My friends of Japanese, Vietnamese, Korean, Thai and Phillipino heritage despise the Chinese. "China is asshoe" is an understatement. In martial arts schools, you never see Chinese students in any of the MA schools teaching the Arts of another Asian culture.

I am certain someone, somewhere will try to point to an outlier. I do not doubt outliers exist, but I have never experienced one.

The only time I ever trained with Chinese practitioners was in Krav. I never trained Kung Fu, but would be surprised if the schools had Asian students other than Chinese.

ETA: What I am trying to say, in very simple terms, is that to group other Asians with Chinese will really piss them off.

Not unlike how white people feel when some idiot tries to claim we are all nazi because the nazis had fair skin -- 99.8% of white people despise the nazis, and our ancestors fought and died to stop them.

Many an ancestor of Asians, not Chinese, fought against the Chinese. The Chinese have quite a history of trying to expand their footprint.
 Quoting: Lady Jayne Smith


Thank you for that, Lady J!! It's actually encouraging to hear your personal experiences.

But if we should go to war, how do you think the feds will approach our own citizens via-a-vis their "loyalty"?? We don't exactly have a sterling historical track record there.

With over 17-million there is certain to be a percentage -however small it may be- that will oppose the United States in such a conflict... and we already have substantial populace that will take to the streets regardless.

As much as many current "protesters" are abusing their own Constitutional rights, I genuinely worry about how badly those same rights may be officially abused against innocents in a time of war. I suppose the biggest challenge would be what's facing officials right now: how do you separate the innocent from the guilty?

I'm old enough to remember the student protests against Vietnam [I had a draft lottery number myself] but the youth of then were a far more peaceful bunch than we have today where levels of intolerance have been deliberately provoked by social and broadcast media.
 Quoting: GSB/LTD


I think if we end up in a hot conflict with China, how we relate to Chinese Americans will depend on the actions of the Chinese Americans.

We must remember, many Chinese Americans are here because they were fleeing, often for their lives, from communism. They will have zero love lost for the CCP.

Now, we know the Chinese play the long game. I am quite concerned about the Chinese who will show up in the US with US passports, because their mommy came for a visit just in time to pop them out. They were born to be plants for the CCP. Other big concern is recent arrivals, and student VISAs. I think a BIG reason why POTUS said, "Hey, you are studying online. There is no reason for you to be here." Remember the fit thrown by the commie libtards?

IOW, I think people who live near Chinese will notice any changes in behavior.

All that said, I think we are also in great jeopardy of a US civil war during such a time. If so, those Chinese who are here to cause hate and discontent will find a final cessation of their actions. Quite possibly at the hands of the Chinese who fled to the US to escape the CCP. <---- Those Chinese people will notice the problem faster than we will, and will likely be merciless.

I don't expect camps. I expect our military to be far too busy fighting the CCP military. What happens here will be part of the civil war. Civilians do not have rules of engagement. If the CCP and the little libbie commie tards think fighting the civilian population will be just like how things are as they attack the police, or NG, they will be in for a terrifying awakening.

Regarding your question about the fate of Chinese in the USA if a war breaks out with China, I'm pretty sure that with the current levels of surveillance, the US government knows exactly who's who and what's what.

If we were to put the Chinese into general groups, I'd say there are 3 of them:

1) Chinese who fled the CCP or are multi-generational US citizens and have no loyalty to the CCP.

2) Chinese who are unrepentant CCP plants and have no loyalty to the USA.

3) Chinese who are reluctantly working for the CCP to protect family members still in China.

The first 2 groups are black and white, and there's no question about how they should and would be treated. The 3rd one is more of a gray area, and I honestly don't know how they may be dealt with; they're still capable of doing a lot of harm, but also acting under duress. It's possible that some members of the 3rd group might be approached by the US gov to do some double agent work (or have I seen too many spy movies?)

I don't think China or the US want their armies at war right now. I don't think China's ready for that yet, especially with Trump re-building the military, and Trump has shown that he's reluctant to start a war if it can be averted. So I think the Chinese will continue to engage in economic, trade, and cyber warfare and espionage. I think that bio-warfare is on the table too, which is a serious issue.

If a hot war broke out, I think the Chinese in the USA (and anyone who could be mistaken for Chinese) could have more to worry about from the people, especially in this insanely racist climate. They might have more to fear from POCs than anyone else. As a successful minority group, Asians make other minority groups promoting victimhood look bad, and they are despised for it. I also agree with the poster who said that Chinese loyal to the USA would be the first ones to turn against the CCP infiltrators.

Post-WWII, Korea and Vietnam, entire Asian families were ripped apart as daughters were banished when GI's took them home as war brides and those rifts rarely healed over time. Those daughters -and their children- were forever outcast as "unclean."

We (USA) evacuated hundreds if not thousands of

bi-racial Vietnamese babies that were put into orphanages.



Thousands (women & children) were left behind.

Now, when a Veteran goes to a VA facility for treatment, they may find a little Vietnamese (or some other country)Doctor is acting as their Primary Care Doctor.

These doctors at the VA are from foreign countries that the USA previously "beat down", and one can't help wondering if when they deny treatments to Vets, they are secretly gleefully punishing American Vets for perceived crimes.

I fall into group 1.....Because of Mao's revolution, my family went from middle class merchant landowners to penniless refugees....I never met my grandparents cuz they were sent to "reeducation" camps and never heard from again....a couple of uncles were summarily executed for refusing to give up their land....

I can never visit China due to my military service with MI....my blood boils when I run into the offsprings of CCP members here in the US.....I cussed out more than a few that was praising the CCP....

If shit goes hot, those with stories similar to mine would be weeding out CCP sympathizers ....the old phrase "kill a commie for my mommy" kinda fits.....

You're a good reason why EVERYONE needs to start thinking of one another along the lines of how liberal or conservative they are. Or how leftwing or rightwing they are.

Other aspects of people including their race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexuality, religion take a back seat to the way that liberal/leftwing biases can really fuck up a person's honesty, logic, rationality, common sense, integrity, ethics and compassion.

Yea, there are conniving, mean-hearted conservatives and ethical, kind, caring liberals. But all things being equal, when liberal-leftwing biases strike a person, that's the time their really dark side is most likely to manifest.
