Of course you wouldn’t know because you’re not asian so you’re not subject to the daily life or experiences of an asian person. I suppose in your insulated bubble like suburban life in your nice SUV driving white majority neighborhood that such experiences are alien to you. Maybe your only social contact with asians is that kitsch chinese restaraunt down the street with mexican cooks. Or maybe, you read about asians one time in books…ya know those funny guys with ponytails that tow carts around and eat rice. Or maybe your views of asian are more “progressive” for a white person and you think that Connie Chung is as asian as one gets.
I’m guessing that’s about the extent of your knowledge on what constitutes “asian.”
It’s 3 AM, I just read Mongol’s post to Opal, and I misread his username as Feistymongrel. I read that entire post with the mental image of a Yorkshire Terrier nipping at my ankles. It fits.
What a completely idiotic series of comments. Mongol, have you ever met a white person? You’re not white, so you’re not subject to the daily life or experiences of a white per… oh, I can’t even finish it, the stupiditity is hurting my braaaaain.
Okay.
Okay.
Enlighten us, Mongol. Shed some light on the unique experience of being asian.
What makes it so hard? Is it harder than the oppression I get from working in a predominantly puerto rican office? Is it worse than being female in a male dominated world? What must someone who lives in American do, if they were born with ancestors from an asian country, in order not to be a banana, in your opinion? What must someone who lives in America do, if they were born of non-asian ancestors, to properly understand and respect asian people?
Is it more or less than we must do for everyone else? Is it different in a unique way?
Who are you?
What do you want?
Where are you going?
Hrm. Sorry, but in my neighborhood, whites are a minority. Most of my friends are of another race, many are from other countries. In fact… of the people I currently hang out with, only one was born in the US. And one of them was born in (gasp!) mainland China. I’ve known plenty of Asian people over the years.
But thanks for assuming.
Maybe you should research the Tibetans, Manchurians, Mongols, et al experience since 1950. I think they would beg to differ with your homogenized Asian paradise view. Your ignorance of your own self-styled homeland is truely deep. A pissing contest of who has been discriminated against more in the past 50 years between Asian Americans and Tibetans is so ludicrous as to laugh.
Here’s what the Perfect Master had this to say about the smallpox blankets.
I know it’s waaaay too late in this train wreck, but I would appreciate Archmichael take on all of this.
Yes, but that’s not all there is to say. Recent book, I have NOT read, but I saw, flipped through, and as soon as I have the dosh, intend to investigate further: Pox Americana.
The editorial reviews are fascinating. They seem to imply the epidemic hit first, and then the colonists used the explicit threat of re-implementing it, to keep the indians in line. This might deserve a new thread, really.
If I’m prejudiced agasint Feisty, does that make me a jerkophobe?

Ok if you want to play this game how about we look at whites also then? Nothing can beat the all time favorite white attempt at extermination of the world’s “mud people” in the form of the Nazi regime. Absolutely nothing can beat that track record, so if you want to play this game you will lose everytime.
Also I beg to differ that Tibetans, Manchurians, Mongols killing each other is a “racial” thing it’s an intraracial conflict. I’m talking about conflicts brought upon by pure racist ideologies of which whites have exceled at over the centuries.
I won’t even get into the millions enslaved/killed in various way through the British Empire. Or the shithole Africa is today on the very account of the royal fuckup policies implemented to divide and conquer the territories under european colonialist rule. Pitting African brother against African brother in machavellian tribal intrigue so a few greedy fat fuck whites can suck the wealth out.
I could go on and on and on. Your naming a few piddly squabbles and internal regime conflicts in asia as examples of this comparable great asian “oppression” is ridiculous. I seriously laughed out loud when I read what you were trying to pull. I like how you act all sanctamonius when you point out these things. The blood of the world is so stained on white hands it’ll never be washed off so don’t even bother with comparison games.
Paging Mr.Godwin. Mr.Godwin, to The Pit, please…
Obligatory ‘Mao killed more people then Hitler’ post.
Obligatory Rape of Nanking link. If Feistymonster dismisses the 300,000 killed and hundreds of thousands more raped and brutalized as a “piddly squabble”, he’s not just some young hothead–he is truly a monster.
Everytime you want to try to play this comparison game i’ll just go ahead and quote myself because you will lose everytime. The Rape of Nanking was awful but it is nothing compared to the tens of millions killed by whites over the years through various conquests, slavery, and genocidal activity.

Stalin killed more people than Mao so you lose once again.
Feistymongol, do not copy and paste entire articles. Read the ATMB thread “Guidelines for Posting on the SDMB” for further intruction.
Also, you are becoming very tiresome.
Lynn
What kind of fucked up logic do you use in your world? Stalin slaughtered more people than Mao, so that makes it OK for you to be a bigoted asshole? And in case you forgot, we’ve provided these cites in response to your claims that your sun-dappled “homeland” is a paradise of ethnic harmony and understanding. You are the one who started the comparisons.
The destruction wrought from white nations in history
Nazi Regime -estimated 10-15 million total died in Germany alone (including 6 million jews and soldiers/civillians through conflicts)
Stalin’s communist era estimated 61 million dead under Stalinist rule and the resulting communist regimes.
Destruction of Vietnam 1-2 million mostly civillians. Bombing villages and civillian cities. America kept running military death tallies as “proof” that they were winning the war.
The continent of Africa - Possibly 100 million or more people dead throughout its wretched history as a result of colonial contact with europeans. Different policies throughout the ages and divide/conquer colonial policies have resulted in the deaths of countless others.
Aztecs - Entire civilization and people wiped off the map. No estimation on figures. Possibly millions.
Phillipine islands - Early imperialist policies resulting in the slaughter of Filipino native forces who resisted U.S. occupation.
No exact figure on number massacred.
China- Opium wars and colonialist invasion with the resulting famines. Possibly millions dead as a result of British policies.
South America- Untold number of civilizations and indians plundered and wiped out.
Native Americans - It was estimated there were 7 million native americans scattered throughout the north american continent before european arrival. Now there’s maybe a few thousand traceable native americans left.
Aborigines in Australia - Tens of thousands murdered, untold number of Maori tribesman killed too.
The Middle east - Early colonialist policies were designed to fracture the delicate politics and relations of the people in the mid east. All this was done so early colonialists could plunder oil and enforce unfair treaties. Untold numbers dead or suffering to this day because of it. The hasty drawn borders in the mid-east and the resulting conflicts can be directly blamed on white expansion.
I can’t see how any of that is possibly relavent, Feistyretard, unless you are arguing that white people are intrinsically evil as a race and you’re therefore justified in hating and mistrusting such people that you encounter in everyday life.
You seem to think it’s you’re in a battle with all the white people in the world. How the fuck do you know what color everyone else here is? Here’s a newsflash: no-one gives a shit if you’re asian. You’re the one obsessed with race. You’re the one coming across as racist. You don’t need to fight everyone here, just try chilling out a bit then maybe people won’t think you’re an asshole.
Feisty: If nothing else you’ve said here proves you’re just a flaming racist, the comment from you about the Nazis certainly does. Last I heard, the United States (the “White Country”) fought against that regime.
And when you finally get banned, I’ll laugh myself silly if it’s the non-American moderator who does it!
Hmmm, Feisty forgot to mention 2 million dead Cambodians. As far as I can tell, that was strictly local.
Care to actually give a cite on this so-called claim of yours? This isn’t a contest, but you assert over and over with absolutely no factual claim that in Asia there is no racism, genocide, culturecide, eradication of native languages, forced relocation based on race, culture or religion. Hate to break it to you, pal, but Tibetans are not the ones who killed 1/3 of their own population directly or indirectly since 1950, and are now a minority in their homeland. It was you, yes you since you’re a racist HAN CHINESE oppressor. In 1950, the population of you racist HAN CHINESE oppressors in Tibet was less than 1%. Now it is over 50% of you racist HAN CHINESE oppressors. That is 50% of the the province now known as Tibet, and discounting those areas of Tibet that have been historically Tibetan (parts of Gansu, Qinghai, Sichuan and Yunnan provinces). Manchurians are now reduced to about 3% of the population by you racist HAN CHINESE oppressors. Mongolians reduced to less than 20% of the population by you racist HAN CHINESE oppressors. This is all since 1950 you HAN CHINESE oppressor you. Do you care, no ‘cause Whitey been dissin’ your sorry racist HAN CHINESE oppressor ass.
Puh-leese. I’m as guilty of putting you down as your are of the genocide carried out in Tibet over the past 50 years.
Feisty, I have to admit it. I glared at an Asian on Sunday. If that was you, I’m sorry. But you (or whoever it was) was yammering loudly on his cellphone in public, and that occasionally draws an involuntary glare. I didn’t mean to oppress you.
Of course, I also glared at the round-eyes idjit who not only held a loud cellphone conversation in the restaurant, but used the speakerphone option.
Sometimes profound jerkism knows no racial boundaries.
And I don’t think the U.S. staged mass deportations of Japanese in WWII. But that’s a historical ignorance kind of thing.
