I think good men share similar characteristics, skin color has nothing to do with it.

I've met some great men in my life, my father, my two brothers, all my ex boyfriends, my friends... They are white, black, Asians, mixed, they are all great men.

My sister in law is as white as snow white can be, and she is the world's best wife.

everyone's greedy except the corporations and the people who run them. also, I notice every time I answer one of your posts you change the subject. moving the goal post is a great way to hide your lack of argument

We aren't talking about "American Indians". Their test scores wouldn't help your story anyways.

I've felt more prejudice and discrimination from blacks than whites.

Was a few years ago in Philadelphia that asian students were being attacked by gangs of black students just because. My experience has been that nobody really cares when asians are discriminated against.

A Japanese or Chinese American isn't going to experience the same racism as an Indian American would face in the United States.

Why? Because of skin color?

Of course! Skin color can certainly be a contributor to racism. They tend to get lumped in with Arabs when it comes to racism because they are brown skin.

Is there a difference between the light skinned Asians (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) vs. the dark skinned Asians (Laos, Filipinos, etc.) too?

No. Americans just see them as Asian. No different from light skin Blacks vs dark skin Blacks.

Yes. East Asians (Chinese, Japanese, Koreans) are seen by whites more as the model minority. They are usually lighter skinned, are more educated and have higher incomes than Southeast Asians and Pacific Islanders who are usually darker skinned, who do more menial jobs, are lower income earners.
