Alleged racist pose by Spanish National Team

<p>

So…this would be like affirmative action, right? The racist white power structure against Asians in support of Blacks?

</p>

<p>I don’t quite understand what you’re saying here. Could you clarify?</p>

<p>

Self-righteous would be nbachris telling people that they aren’t smart enough to get into U of Chicago and other schools, that he seems to so love saying to other kids on CC. Though I do not know why any secure person would bother with crap like that, I’ll just assume he’s kidding. <– not self-righteous

</p>

<p>I normally wouldn’t try to belittle people’s intelligence with college admissions, but in that case, it was pretty funny listening to a complete ignoramus spout baseless and prejudiced arguments against Obama that I couldn’t resist.</p>

[iloveagoodbrew]

<p>Yea, totally baseless and prejudiced. What flavor Kool-Aid was yours? Now, say it slowly after me. Yes, we can!</p>

<p>By the way, where do you go to college, that you are such a prick about the U Chicago thing?</p>

<p>Oh, I really would <em>love</em> to hear you spout nonsense face to face in real life away from the anonimity of the forum. Internet seems to be full of this.</p>

The current white power structure makes it harder for Asians to get into schools (because of their race). This sort of race based prejudice is generally considered racism by the general public.</p>

It’s not really quite the same, since Asians haven’t exactly been through what the Africans (slavery) or the Jews (centuries of European anti-Semitism, Holocaust) have been through. Yes, there was the Yellow Peril and Japanese Internment, but they were American, as opposed to global, incidents, and there wasn’t a massive level of deaths that resulted from them.

</p>

<p>That’s a pretty lame/asinine argument.</p>

<p>So I guess there never were Chinese coolies (basically slaves) brought to work in the US (or South/Latin America) or that Chinese RR workers were given the most dangerous jobs at lower wages (hence the term – “a Chinaman’s chance”) or that there weren’t mobs and lynchings against the Chinese in California during the 1800s.</p>

<p>Not to mention China being carved up into spheres of influence by Western powers and the slaughter of Chinese nationalists during the Boxer Rebellion, etc.</p>

<p>And oh, btw, the African slave thing was pretty much limited to the Americas (not counting slavery in Africa) and the Jewish anti-Semitism isn’t exactly a worldly phenomenon either (since half of the world’s pop. in Asia had nothing/little to do w/ it).</p>

<p>And following that line of thought - making a “hook nose” reference shouldn’t be a problem for people in the US – since anti-Semitism in the US is muted compared to that in Europe.</p>

<p>

What I’m trying to say is that the Chinese should have better things to do than care when a nation that had been in decline since 1588, and only recently came out of a dictatorship and rejoined the modern world, showcases its ignorance for the world to see.

</p>

<p>Uhh, it’s not just a “Chinese” thing. It’s an affront to (East) Asians everywhere (gee, I guess the little Asian kids who get taunted by such actions on the school playgrounds and made to feel ashamed should just chalk it up to the fact that blacks or Jews have had it “worse”).</p>
