Mexican-american hispanic. I do what’s possible to stay within the boundaries so i’m out of trouble. I don’t subscribe to the obsequious laws that so many minorities are forced into following for the benefit of whites. I don’t believe in the unfair show trials that have a higher rate of convicting and imprisoning minorities. I don’t respect this society’s law because it’s often used as a tool to keep certain members of this society down.

Maybe, maybe not.

I do what I can in self defense.

Criminal by whose definition? I suppose by your thought process the vietnamese were a criminal enemy soldier and Americans were the heroic ones with the just cause. It’s all moral relativism. I viewed my actions as morally correct given the circumstances in defending myself. The state labels me a criminal according to your “laws” which are supposed to be impartial but which in fact aren’t.

Many of the witnesses in that case were locals (who were white)who claimed Chin struck first. Interestingly enough I don’t believe anyone in Chin’s party claimed Chin struck first. There was in fact a division on that issue. At any rate Chin was later hunted down and beaten to death by 2 men. The murder was both premeditated and intentional. That should have been obvious with any jury…any non biased one that is.

Proof?

I’m not going to be too specific about where I come from. Suffice to say I do speak mandarin but that doesn’t necessarily mean i’m wholely chinese.

Like I said in a different post roughly 78% of America’s population is “white” however 98% of the government consists of whites in the power elite.

Quoted from the same source…
"At American universities in the 1930s, it was hard to avoid attending parties with “reds.” What about the influence of Tsien’s wife - the daughter of a top Nationalist military strategist? How could Tsien be a Communist if he had lived in the United States since before Mao seized power? "
Basically the PRC didn’t even exist then as a government because the revolution had never even occurred yet. Interesting that Tsien was accused of “spying” for a government that didn’t even exist. Anyone that knows anything about Chinese history knows how ludicrous that is. The group of military men who eventually became the PRC were a ramshackle party of guerillas and peasants at that phase. They had neither the resources or inclination to recruit or transplant top level moles into the U.S.
Also Tsien wasn’t a new immigrant he had worked for the government for around 25-30 years at that point. He was also a U.S. military colonel. Even in the best hatched plots even the Russians were never able to send in moles that well planned for 30 year periods. The whole accusation is ridiculous.
More quotes from that article…
“The Cox report says that Tsien “emigrated” to China, without mention of his long fight to avoid deportation. Cox report authors cite Chang’s “Thread of the Silkworm” as the source of much of their information about Tsien’s life. Chang has repeatedly complained that the committee drew unwarranted conclusions from her work.”
Now why would a supposed “spy” fight so hard to avoid deportation? Do you see anything wrong with that picture. Especially if he knew enough already at that point to build a nuclear program from memory.
Irish Chang is a young asian-american writer that also wrote about Nanking. She’s a feverent asian activist but the events which transpired that eventually led to Tsien’s deportation happened FAR before her time. Most of her researched material was from second/third hand sources. Now this Cox report sponsored by the U.S. government is ripping off source material and using a (then) grad student’s book as a solid reference? Do you see how ludicrous that is. It makes me wonder if the researchers from the Cox report even bothered to recheck facts or do their own homework.
What next? Will the U.S. government start culling intelligence sources from Tom Clancy novels?

What does that have anything to do with anything? As i’ve said before Racism still exists and false accusations still occur (wen ho lee.) It’s just that the racism has become less overt and more underground.

I said i’d expatriate myself…which last I heard doesn’t always involve renouncing anything. Citizenship is a loose term for me anyways. I may be a citizen for economic advantages and ease of travel but little else. Eventually when my responsibilities here are settled I will pick up and leave. It’s just a matter of time really.
Please “enlighten” me about the U.S. military then. Aside from WW2 the U.S. military has had a very shady past.
