My racial experiences as an Asian American in the Boston area

And the conversation had moved from Boston to Quincy, which is far smaller and much more parochial than Boston.

Okay so you successfully dodged the billion dollar question and I'd assume you can't name ONE example where there was a significant mixing/invasion between Europe and China.

As a 2015 update to your 2012 post, Quincy now has three East Asian grocery stores, Kamman, Lucky, and New York Supermarket which replaced Quan Dat (or was it spelled Tuan Dat? I forgot). The number of restaurants including dim sum restaurants has increased too as have many other East Asian businesses. There are also a smaller number of South Asian and West Asian (Middle Eastern) businesses. I couldn't care if Asians overrun Quincy because everyone else has done the same to some other place some other time but I'd probably agree with you that it will likely never happen. We're just not California or Hawaii.

I'd rather worry about Boston's Chinatown disappearing right now than anything that happens in Quincy.

you worry about Chinatown disappearing but not dying Tibetans with their broken skulls after severe beatings from Chiense?

You're complaining that Americans didn't 'hire or invite' Japanese back in the day cause of Pearl Harbor? lmao... yeah.. look what Chinese did to Japanese right after WWII. Americans were the SAINTS compared to Chinese. so... stop embarrassing yourself bro.

70 years ago was nothing. Stop trying to justify American racism by comparing it to other atrocities.

Actually it's still happening today. People die everyday cause of severe beatings from Chinese in Tibet. Racist bigot much? How can Chinese themselves do that crap everyday and complain about racism? That's gotta be some comedy haha.
