What I am saying is that Most Asians in America today are first and second generation Asian's who came here originally as students and or technical work visas. Many had kids who are now American but they are still strongly influenced by their parents and Asian culture. There are some who came as refugees, however.

The Asians own too many markets in Black areas and aside from the occasional YouTube rant by some black lady, they get along ok (minus the Clint Eastwood Dirty Harry like Koreans busting caps in everyone's ass during the Rodney King riots).
This is the sad truth. And most black people see all White People as Evil.

I would like to know how either of you geniuses know what most black people think? I would be incredulous if you sought to tell me what MOST of your own race thinks....because there is no way that you KNOW. Therefore, think how incredulous I am when one claims to know how MOST of another race thinks?

It is what is 'portrayed'.

nah. I don't know many black people really hate anybody. Nor do I know any evil whites.

In my world, everybody gets along pretty well. This being said, Each of us almost certainly carries around some level of inherent racial bias. We may not admit it, even to ourselves, but it’s still there.

I think those who always concentrate on "race" will pretty much hate everybody, those who are more laid back will take personal responsibilities of their actions, and they bounce back from failure rather quickly.

The sad truth is that in certain circumstances there is are assumptions and concerns made about people, and depending on circumstances of where these assumptions are made, they may be more often negative for you if you are black, than if you were white. The even sadder truth is that, statistically speaking, these assumptions may not even be all that illegitimate.

I think what needs to be understood is the unspoken premise of "white superiority". White people are not arguing that the white refs did not cheat for whites and make rules that favored the white team until half way through the 4th quarter. What they are arguing is that the cheating and unfairness does not explain the score. What explains the score, in their conjecture, is white superiority. They feel they would have won regardless.....because they feel they are superior. To them......the referring and rules that favored whites are just an EXCUSE for having lost the game, as the real reason for the loss, in their minds, is inferiority to them.

Keep in mind that white supremacy is NOT synonymous with HATE. Parents feel superior to their youth.....but that does not mean that they hate their young children (which is why kids must do what they say....as they know best).
