    That is a general and ignorant statement. To say Asians are this, black people are that, etc., is just plain ignorant. Every single human being is an individual. Some people are racist, most aren't.

    They've admitted this to me. I've lived with a lot of them.

    "They" admitted this? Interesting. I live in an area with a very large Asian population. A lot of them are racist, but again, most aren't. They are just like any other racial or ethnic group. But to say that "asians are racist as hell" is irresponsible. There will always be racism, we know this. I have experienced racism first hand from some Asians. I wasn't even aloud to visit some of my friend's houses because of their parent's ignorant racist bull****. I never understood that. You hate black and white people, yet you move to a country that is full of both. LOL! Anyway, I still wouldn't make a general statement about any race or nationality being racist. Only people within these groups are racist.

    P.S.: This is a little off topic, but I thought about it after typing my paragraph. You want to talk about ignorant racism, check this one out. When I was in middle/high school, I dated this girl from the Philippines. She was short, dark, thick and beautiful! She was adopted at birth by a white American military family, so she was raised here in the U.S. She was not allowed to date out of the white race, even though she was as dark as some black people. I mean, maybe her racist dad wouldn't have had a stroke over another asian guy, maybe. But I tried to hook her up with a black friend of mine way after she and I broke up and she was like, "no0o0o, I can't do that". Her report card even said "W" for race, which obviously means "white". Talk about some backwards ass racism.

    Jesus Christ :lol: :patsch

    A lot of it does stem from parents it seems though. Like one of the girls I was living with was SO happy to not be with her family anymore because they pretty much didn't want her talking to any white people and they weren't even going to let her move to LA because of all the blacks and hispanics. Same goes for the dude I lived with in Uni. Crazy

    Stereotypes are truth. If all you see from a race is a particular behavior, common sense will tell you to avoid people like that by remembering their physical features. It's how nature works. "Just because he's black" or whatever color, or features, is not always true. For some, sure, but some have formed that image of a particular race after encounters with many individuals that belong to it throughout their lives, negative encounters. Can you blame them? I wouldn't, even if they felt they should avoid me because of how I look. Although I don't have a race specific look. Still, by my name or nationality people will surely form stereotypes. I don't care. Let them :).

    She was mentally unwell and didn't know what she was saying.

    Or if that's not the truly the case then she should be raped and beaten for that.

    I wonder what happened to her, was thinking about this recently. You have to be unwell to have the reaction she had to that random comment by Mayweather. It was so over the top and continuous that you can't help but to think she had severe mental problems.

    stereotypes are based on fragmentary truths... the type of truths perceived through a narrow lens. Like if I talk about a tree and describe the a leaf, and even show you, then this could be a fact... their is empirical evidence that supports my observations of the leaf... the problem is when you take the leaf for the tree, then it only shows that not only are you overly generalizing, but your perception is very minuscule and you rather live in a small fragmented perception of others, which is heavily infused with imaginations... i.e. since one person does this the whole race does it, and it further suggest that they are this and that, even so far as to to imagine what they maybe thinking, especially about people like yourself.

    Sure it's true young black men commit crimes to a certain percentage in America, the same as it is true that some Chinese in China have very little cure for human life and animal life -- but when you attempt to paint the whole of these cultures as a certain thing, then you have a problem.

    And stereotypes can be misleading and actually make you a victim of someone who is of an ethnicity who is supposedly not the ones committing crimes.

    Well on her website months before any of that stuff happened, she opened up about her mental illness and how everyday is a battle, and how has to take medication, but it doesn't work all the time. So there is a reason to believe that what happened, her mental state did play a part. Unless she is a psychic and thought, im going to say some random racist stuff one day, so I will just write this on my website, for future damage control.

    There is absolutely no amount of damage control that is going to save her career. In Asian countries, they don't have a well defined system of mental health cure, like it is in America and other places. That someone is suffering from something, means absolutely nothing. Saving face, presenting a false imagine of balance and civilization is most important... and to be seen as anything else is a huge embarrassment, which implicates everyone, in their mind. So what is going to happen is that they are going to act like she doesn't exists anymore, and have nothing to do with her, as she brought and brings shame to their Nationality, in their mind. She is pretty much done in Korea, it's not like America where someone can say some dumb **** or do something, then disappear for a year or so, and is able to be forgiven and resurrect their career... or they become infamous, and somehow still a part of pop-culture in this odd way. Korea isn't like America.

    The funny thing about Koreans and blacks is they have similar thought patterns, so what she says doesn't really make sense.

    She's talking about the culture, when if you go on a street at night in Korea, you are bound to see a man slapping a woman in the street, or two guys brawling. Koreans are much more aggressive than any American, and the only things that stop this place from being worse than the U.S. is that guns aren't allowed here. :lol: She was talking out of her ass.
