Here We Go Again


In America, whenever the topic of racism (against people of color) comes up, people of color have always said something like if you ain't of the right color then please refrain from commenting because you wouldn't know anything about what you're talking about. And pardon the saying, because frankly you don"t know jack. Yes, ask yourself, how would you?

Okay, okay, granted we know that the media, politicians and celebrities exaggerate, create a narrative or push an agenda. And there will always be people still gullible enough to think that those people are their friends. No they are not, money or power, that's their friends. 

It's Not Always About Race

So it's not always about race. But in America, more than half of the time IT IS ABOUT RACE or ethnicity or color. And the other times it is about sex, age, religion, status or disability.

Do not be naive, we all are biased about something or everything. It's human nature. There will always be some things that you prefer over another (whether you will admit to it or not is another matter).

Bias

And do not worry, in America and all other predominantly White societies, the bias is always against the non-Whites. In other cultures, say in China, then it is the billion Chinese people who are biased against the non Chinese. In India it is the billion Indian people against the non Indians.

Same in Japan, in the Arab world, in Israel, or anywhere else the dominant color or creed or ethnicity will lord it over those in smaller numbers. It's just how it is.

If you aren't in the minority, yes please sit down because you wouldn"t know anything.

Cards

Don't pull up your favorite go to "I was friends with Blacks back in school" card. Or your "My father-in-law is Native American or my daughter-in-law is Korean, El Salvadorean, Hawaiian" or whatever color they may be card. And please no "I grew up in a colored community and walked with them to school" card.

Come on, if you aren't those colors you wouldn't know how it is to walk in their shoes. In fact, none of you White people will trade places with a common normal looking Brown, Black or Asian person.

Would you trade places with any of these?


Okay maybe unless if it's a really rich, good looking and famous Black, Brown or Asian person. And still even if you could, you still will think long and hard to do so.

And please will any White male want to switch places with an Asian guy? 



Any one against Asians?  What do you think?
