You do mean Indians from India, not Native Americans right? There's a bit of discrepancy there.

Because they're not looked down upon by society, as a whole. Whereas, we, are...

That's the most direct answer you'll get.

Uh; a true hater def would NOT want his kid, especially his daughter "marrying out" AND having kids with a member of the race he hates. That's def a GOOD way to "kill off" the father's race real fast.

It'd be like Farrakhan's daughter being told by her dad to marry some pasty skin anglo white dude even tho word is he hates white people.

If you don't believe that one, I've got some beachfront property in Phoenix you might be interested in.

And who do you think you are, coming at me with that white privilege crap, you don't know a thing about me personally, just because I listed white in my profile that's how you know. I came from very very humble background and put in a little effort and done ok in my life, hence the school and hard work comments.

That was the message Bill Cosby was promoting, but since his latest fiasco, referencing him loses some credibility.

I won't say Japanese-Americans have forgotten about WWII, but I DO believe a lot of (majority) Japanese-Americans have chosen to let the past go.

Many Japanese-Americans would agree with the late former Hawaiian Senator Mr. Daniel K Inouye. He was a WWII veteran 442 R.C.T.

He said,

".. Looking back, we realized today how unjust America had been in a way it dealt with Citizens with Japanese ancestry during WWII, yet I know of no other nations would openly admit it has been wrong as this nation had done, and then take steps to correct its wrong. Only a truly great nation that would risk making such admission, this is the America we have fought for and died for."

so what is actually going on in some African countries then? do you really believe the average west African is more successful than the average black American. you do realize we (black americans) are the wealthiest people in the west African diaspora? I don't like to bash west African countries/people, but c'mon. those people who come here are pretty successful before they get here.

so you have history book stating that "blacks were given their freedom to walk any where in the USA". like right after slavery? or after jim crow? or when people fought stop school integration in the 50s? or when whites in the east fought to prevent busing in the 70s? or during the many decades when redlining was in practice? or.... amusing.

I am friends with two Asian girls and they have a lot to say about racism that they experience from both whites and blacks. But Asians and Indians make up a small portion of the U.S population and have a much smaller media presence in the U.S. When I was in Australia where Asians make up a huge part of the population white vs. Asian racism was a big topic.
