Why is it that the most seemingly common taunt against asians (in no matter what country outside of asia) is, "go back to your home country?" What the heck does that even mean? It's been that way for a long time.

But as always, no worries, someone on here will always, always without fail, defend these types of statements, taunts, and insults so long as it isn't directed at their own race.

“I want you to tell everybody why you told us to go back to our country,” says Kao in one video, in which Olson responds “You need to go back to your country… Have your wife turn your phone off and I’ll talk to you.” Kao wrote on the social media site that Ms. Olson’s comments were unprovoked. When asked why she “hated” the couple, Olson said that she did not hate them. The video has over half-a-million views.

In an email to the LA Times’ Daily Pilot, Olson said that she was “not in a good place emotionally after receiving so many disgusting emails… for something that wasn’t even racist and was then skewed by a guy named Tony who filmed [her] without [her] permission.”

“If you would like to have a full normal interview about the displacement of European-Americans, then I gladly am available to enlighten the public,” she told KCBS-TV/2.
That last statement should get even more sympathy from some around these parts

Asians are very polite and respectful to others. She wouldn't say the same thing to blacks -- that would turn ugly for her. Time is changing, I see a deep divided nation and Russian hackers influence.

Displacement of European-Americans from California... lol. The lack of historical understanding boggles the mind. The first people living in Southern California were descendants of Asians, in 8000 BC, and lived there til the Europeans showed up in 1771.

It makes no sense, especially considering most Asian immigrants themselves are more American than most Americans. They learn English, almost always give their U.S. born kids American names, and often take American names themselves.

The Russians are comingThe Russians are coming

Actually most people I know are very welcoming to "Asians" but they might object to behaviors they don't like that people of Asian background do.

This professor sounds like a psycho....doesn't sound like she would be good at her job.

Actually,no, whites made up the majority of California ‘s population since the Gold Rush. Hispanics overtook the white population in 2014.

What do you mean, "Actually, no"

Were the first people living in Southern California not descendants of Asians, who settled in 8000 BC?

Did Europeans not show up in the Los Angeles area in 1771?

Precisely which of these historical facts do you dispute?
