Every Asian that I see fishing keeps everything
they pull in.They throw nothing back.

I used to think I was bad about keeping one 1/2” short.

After a year in SE Asia way back I still don`t care
for Asians.Well maybe ROK`s are ok they saved my hide once.

Well said.

I doubt that these two are fifth generation. Even so, this behavior speaks to the fact that there are certain cultures which consistently view life as a zero-sum game and that socialization to western and US values is, for all intents and purposes, nonexistent.

They are socialized only to the extent that they vote D and are on the public dole, one way or another.

I grew up in SoCal in the 50s. Heard stories about the old days (30s & 40s) when abalones could be had at low tide. Seemed unbelievable since you had to dive to find them by the 60s. Anyway, my college summer job was on an albacore boat. When storms would come up, we’d anchor off of Santa Rosa island. At the time it was a private ranch. We’d take the skiff to a beach and enjoy the day off—and find abalone at low tide. Pretty good eating, but you had to beat them with a tenderizer hammer for a while.

Yup. Excellent.

Dove Catalina with my dad in the early 70's for abalone, down there in the kelp.

Try dipping a french fry in vanilla ice cream, for a taste of abalone! Series!

If he is an immigrant, legal or not, send him home since he can no longer support himself. Else let his family or someone else sponsor him. Bottom line, he should not become a burden on US taxpayers due to his criminal behavior.

Now, *that’s* a hoot. This is CA we’re talking about, land of the Reconquest.

Not that I condone what these guys were doing, but I think the Founding Fathers would slap anyone who could write that sentence with a straight face.

True enough. The idea of the ‘king’s waters\forest’ would be abhorrent to ‘em.

Sad, but, as you can read here, even the (R)\(C) have their own Fascist oxs that dare not get gored.

First time I ate abalone was in Chile in the mid 70s. They called it “locos mayo” because you had to be crazy to beat a fish to be able to eat it. You could hear the hammers working away in the kitchens.

Their behavior is cultural. If they are Americans their morals and values are from the old country. They are not western values. I saw this callous disregard over and over when I lived in California, among them. The primary thing is not getting caught, not whether the behavior is right or wrong. It is a depature from our norms, and their presence devalues our society.

Agreed. In California, I find the racism from immigrant Chinese people, the ones who actually travelled here from China, the absolute worst. As a white American I am not treated badly, insulted or mocked or denigrated, that's too crude. No, it's far worse than that - I simply and literally don't exist to them. I am not acknowledged in public by Chinese people, they walk through me, talk through me, stand in my way, never make eye contact, never say excuse me, never smile - nothing. They are very pointedly and deliberately not polite to me in ways big and small, simply because to them I am not there. Its what they don't do, the human interactions they absolutely refuse to have, and its not "cultural" because they observe these things with each other. It's both weird and, when understood, infuriating. They are hard, absolute racists down to their bones.

[Scarpetta]

Wrong! First generation Asians are generally given Western names by their immigrant parents. And stop peeing your pants over T-Bone’s spot on analysis of the damage done to animal populations by Chinese the world-over.
