How much is this due to outside pressures and how much of it is simply due to decisions of personal conduct? Honest question.
I’m guessing nobody put a gun to this guy’s head and forced him to style his appearance like this.
the majority of latinos are white.
get ready. i’m going to chime in on this.
here’s what i dream about. all guns/firearms being made illegal…and if you are caught with one…25 years without parole.
but…everyone is allowed to carry a katana in public.
and we can all have sword fights.
or better put, no one will dare to use weaponry in public quarrels since katanas are scary. why? because swords can:
cut your head clean off
your arm clean off.
your leg comes off like on a hasboro toy
get disemboweled
cut in half, diagonally, vertically, horizontally.
why would swords bring violence down?
coz of all of those terrible ways to die.
guns…are a coward’s weapon. a long distance weapon. like a bow & arrow. hence why they call bows & arrows a Parisian weapon.
since Paris from Troy used it against Achilles.
guns make you erringly think that you can’t get hurt from using one. a gun user always thinks that even if the other guy has one…
he’ll miss.
the gun nut always says to himself “i won’t miss. but he’ll miss.”
and the gun nut going on a ranpage will always assume…that he’ll somehow, someway evade getting hurt.
swords are different.
swords make you realize…your ass is gonna lose an apendage. an arm, a leg, a head, your bowels. but something is getting cleaved.
you’re up close to your opponent. at striking distance, you won’t miss, but neither will he.
your both gonna need an ambulance.
hence, why when 200-300 years ago when it was lawful to walk the streets with a sword…no one had sword fights. and no one went postal with one. since that would mean…getting cut yourself since everyone else is carrying one. and again.
again i stress…guns fool you into thinking using one won’t get you hurt.
but a sword makes you realize since its a close quarter weapon…
you will get hurt.
most definately.
i just used this debate to voice how much i love japanese cane swords and how cool they look on you. wish we all could carry one.
shit is stylish as fuck.
admit how damn cool Sasuke looks with his cane sword on his back
now that IS cool
It says way more about the amount of black people I see complaining compared to asians, nothing more. Maybe they just speak the softest in their complaints, but the majority of my friends, girlfriend, exes, etc etc have been asian and I’ve never once heard them complain about being asian, other than someone saying their face was flat in elementary school… which strangely enough I’ve heard from like every single one. My black friends? Race card from every single one of them.
Ask any girl period about the amount of lame ass guys they’ve had come at them. I’m sure it’ll be pretty large.
Why the hell are you guys playing a damned contest of who has it worse? Fact is that yes, black folks have had it worse as a collective group. And I never got this stereotype of Asians being good at math and being educated. There are tons of undocumented illegals who are unskilled, have no education at all. And gambling is a problem in lots of asian communities, if you’re good at math you shouldn’t gamble. Fishjie already said what some Asians have to go through. Asians do have stuff to complain about, it’s best not to make another LA riots over this. Why does it matter if some of those stereotypes are good or bad? It’s DEHUMANIZING and since a whole bunch of SRK are minorities, ya’ll would understand how that is. I do not mean to straw man your posts, but a lot of this “stop qqing AzNs” has a subtext of racism to it, though I will admit that the subjects writing those posts have no intent of racism at all. Praise the limits of language /sarcasm.
as rodney king said, “why can’t we all just get along?” look, i know there’s a lot of strife in both communities, but both communities are getting mad at the wrong entity.
Not to be attracted to what usually amounts to the look’s equivalent of a 12 year old boy.
Do not misunderstand me there are some very attractive asian woman out there,but they are not the one’s with a/b cups.
That’s fucking gross.
It’s called breast augmentation and it’s not that expensive; fix that it’s nauseating.
Let me clarify.
There is no subtext of racism here.
Quit fucking bitching asians, unless you’re from a line of refugee’s you have zero to bitch about period.
Take that as a blatantly racist remark if you like but you do not have a leg to stand on comparitivitly.
Ya’ll came to 'Merica willingly invaldiating any further bitching.
You’re claim is as strong as mine being heavily Irish and minority Native(sadly just missing the cutoff for that fat casino money).
So fuck you,when you get a trail of tears style story we’ll all pow wow about this and i’ll be the first to extend the shoulder to cry on.
I hate you with every fiber in my being.
This is easily the most backwards racial comment ever made on SRK.
You could have gone word for word on any uncle tom style shtick or recited the entirety of Team America and it would have been less racist…
Gun’s for swords?
Jesus i hope you get shot.
Gun safety is proper training.
Should we outlaw fire next? It kill’s a lot of people and not everyone know’s how to work with it.
Or maybe outlaw driving? Kills many more then gun’s every day.
I hate how easily you guy’s buy the anti gun lines about how every one is a coiled viper waiting to strike.
It’s a tool like any other,would you let Eugene use a bandsaw? There is no law preventing Eugene from buying one,and if you tried to tell a mentally handicaped person they could not buy power tools you would be ridden out of business on the back’s of protesters in a fucking heartbeat.
The worst part is you would be 100% right in you’re arguments.
I mean, living in the south as you do, certainly blacks of all people shouldn’t have any reason to complain, the context is different. I’ve lived in hawaii and sanfrancisco where asians historically have gone through some shit, the complaints are there, many Japanese still refuse to put their kids in public schools on the west coast because of fairly well grounded fears of discrimination. The fact that you focus on complaining is weird, if only because this allows you to ignore the possibility that maybe, just maybe they have something worth complaining about? Well, I’ll be generous, I’ll just assume most of your black friends are from the FGC community and as whole we’re a bunch of whinging motherfuckers. “Marvel Players” hint hint, do drop that race card, and granted some of it is unwarranted. I’ve gone into loads and loads of antique shops and gotten stared at or whatever. 99% of the time I just calmed down and explained who I was/what my interest in antiques/furniture was about, and the tensions dissolved immediately. I can honestly say they were more nervous of the fact that I was young and male, than minority. np.
this here though, I do take exception with. The difference is knowing someone is only interested in you because of your race. Its a really shitty feeling and it doesn’t deserve a casual wave of the hand like this. Nobody wants to be a trophy on some weeaboo’s shelf, the way most nerds in general talk about having an ‘asian girlfriend’ is disgusting, like it’s some kind of status symbol they can use to prove how much of an asiaphile they really are (ever have a friend that goes to japan and comes back with tons of lameass stories about how much japanese people like them?) They face it on the reverse end too, having to deal with lots of flat out jealousy and accusations of being a ‘race traitor’ or whatever from bitter asian men if the guy they like just happens to be white (or heaven forbid black).
Man, this is a dead horse that’s been zombified and re-killed and somehow has come back.
Well, only Asian males are to blame for their negative stereotype. As mentioned, they don’t speak up because it’s labeled as “complaining.” Racism just doesn’t go away on it’s own. Sure, you may take issue with the Al Sharpton’s of the world, but those clowns only do one thing really well, capture your attention.
This is America. If you don’t have money, then you better have a big fuckin’ mouth.
If I could describe most Asian dudes I know in one-word: resigned.
Side-story: In high school, one of my tall white highly German white friends started dating another friend of mine who happened to be a fine-ass Asian girl (go figure). The first time he met her parents, her father (a doctor) looked at him and said “wow, good gene pool.” As this story came to my ears the next day, I just looked at all my Asian friends and said well , you’re fucked.
this this this, people look at al sharpton and jessie jackson as if they’re something wrong with the black community, I’m like MOTHERFUCKER, they’re only popular because so many whites tune in to watch them and get all riled up over nothing. I genuinely would be willing to bet that whites spend more time listening to them than blacks do. (same with de la soul and cornell west, just went there).
Interesting. A thread about a person losing it and killing people turns into a cluster fuck of racial stereotypes and “who has its worse” posts. How could any of us have expected such a thing?
To put it nicely: jesus fuck, get over it. Everyone is victim to stereotypes, majority/minority bullshit, and racial profiling. It doesn’t matter if you’re Asian/Latino/Black/Indian/White. I’m white. I walk into any store around here and I’m immediately profiled and get asked “Is there something you’re looking for” or “Is there something I can help you with”. Why? Because I’m 6’4" and weigh a ton and wear baggy clothes. People assume that if you’re wearing baggy clothes and you’re a bit fishy looking, you’re out to steal from them. **OMG, my life is so much worse than yours because of my clothing style, ya’know?! **(sarcasm) It goes back to the hoodie bullshit that’s become popular due to the whole Trayvon Martin crap. Regardless of it being the hoodie, or his race, the dude profiled him and decided to kill him. (different story, different thread… moving along).
In this particular situation, the guy was 43 years old and may have been kicked out of Oikos University (which is a Korean Christian school). Some of his family members have died recently (including his mother) and was apparently in debt. Locally, I’ve seen all ethnicities “come undone” from these factors. In the past year, we’ve had a man who killed his family (burned them alive) because of not being able to handle the shit he was in. We’ve had a white man kill his wife and dogs because he got fired. Shit, even my uncle (on my ‘non communicative’ family side) shot and killed himself because he lost his job. Why are you pinpointing just the racial bullshit? Fucking christ, grow up. Yes, there is racial profiling. It’s a sad fact of the world we live in. And most of those that have the Asians fuming on this thread are trollin’ (and it’s not taking much either).
I’m not saying they’re the same at all, but be honest with yourself. Who is more likely to know about cornell west, your average marvel player (hint hint) or some liberal leaning college aged white guy. Same with de la soul, they’re sticking around because of guys like Michael Rappaport–not because they’re cashing in on ringtones.
This right here i’ll actually get behind.
I have several asian female friends/ex gf’s that have told me this is a constant problem.
Some are able to turn it to their advantage(a good friend of mine used to be a Honda saleswoman and this really helped) but most grow very annoyed with it.
I have never understood the yellow fever mentality,either she’s hot or she’s not and race does not really enter into it.
RAM until her motherboard crashes. Beware of viruses.
-Starhammer-
are you sure about that? I recall watching a youtube vid a while back where a bunch of asian girls were asked what they thought about men who fetishize asian women. the majority of them didnt have a problem with it because it just meant more men for them.
I went to an ESL school full of asians. You think any of them gave a shit for being the “asian girlfriend”? Fuck no. Somebody is just mad salty they never tasted that asian honey
I can find you a youtube video of white women raving about black cock. In fact youtube is full of silly ass comments, You want to swap anecdotes lets go.
While some of your points are valid, please refrain from regaling us with your story of oppression because you’re white and wear baggy clothes. It’s laughable you think what you just said holds a candle. I can’t not be colored [insert Sammy Sosa joke here].
lol. That’s kind of my point in general. But you missed the fact that it’s because I’m tall and big as well. Some people are how they are. Clothes, make-up, style, personality… people aren’t profiled just on race. Oppression? We’re all oppressed, regardless of colour. And don’t be bringing in any slavery rebuttal either. ;p
the problem is that your stance encourages simply ignoring this shit instead of doing anything about it; and well, fuck that
