I hadn't realized Asian people were white.

Meh. I don't really feel like getting into a race contest with anyone. Blacks are the minority in most places. That's the point.

Racism of any kind is bad.

So you don't think that kids who are ganging up on Asian kids would do the same to whites or other races?

Sure in most places blacks are the minority, but not so much in inner-city neighborhoods....and I would not think that a white family would be welcomed in those areas....I think they would be treated a lot worse than a black family in NEPA.
