Young Asians and Latinos push their parents to acknowledge racism amid protests
Washington Post ^ | June 22, 2020 | Sydney Trent

The argument began as soon as Charlie Mai and his brother, Henry, announced their plans to attend a Black Lives Matter protest that evening in D.C. Their father was not having it.

Glenn Mai, a retired FBI agent, had been raised in Dallas by Chinese immigrants who had taught him that he would succeed if he just worked hard.

Parents push their children to grow the eff up and realize that they are being used.

When the do-gooders talk about “helping minorities” — they are NOT thinking about Asians.

Asians are doing fine in the USA.

It’s the black man who keeps them down, through Affirmative Action. Not to mention, street crime as a bonus.

Think of how hard Dad worked to send those boys to college that taught them to hate everything that made their family prosperous

It’s a shame. I’ll bet they never met a person who worked hard yet didn’t succeed - but they ‘know’ their father is wrong.

Passed a house the other day with a yard sign.

It bore the image of a black power fist and the words
“Filipinix for Black Lives Matter”.

Where to begin with that, aside from the grammatically incorrect Spanish?

The person who lives there apparently has no clue that they are supporting an organization that thinks their life does not matter (as BLM is pretty blunt about the fact that they believe ONLY black lives matter).

Why anyone of any other race, or any decent black person, would sign onto that is beyond me. It’s literally half a step removed from Nazi racial theory.

Whoever lives there has obviously cranked the wokeness up to 11.

Asians are going to find out real quick what racism is starting next year in the California university system. Watch their percentage of acceptances go down big time to make room for African Americans and Latinos. They will learn.

Some Asian-American kids...Not all...

Blame the education system...Teaching that blacks are victims of white racism...

Democrats want to bring back affirmative action in California...That means fewer Asian-Americans in elite public universities...Like UCLA and UC Berkeley...

I think the Chinese-American guy, mentioned at at the beginning of the article, will be for that...
He does not want to be against affirmative action although it would be bad for many Chinese-American students...He probably thinks that Chinese-Americans should keep quiet and allow blacks to benefit from affirmative action...He probably thinks that Chinese-Americans should always stand together with blacks against white people...

There are many Asian-American elected officials in CA who are Democrats...Will they all support getting rid of affirmative action? I would not be surprised if they did...
They are probably afraid of being called “traitors” by other groups in Democratic Party...

About BLM...In a dispute between a black person and an Asian-American, BLM will always support the black person...
If some black person complains to BLM about some Asian liquor store owner, I am sure that BLM will just listen to his story...

______________________________________

That is true...

There is “White guilt”...There is also “Asian guilt”...

I am sure that there are some Asian-American people who feel bad about the fact that they have great jobs and live in a nice area...While many blacks and Latinos are not doing well...

You will not find too many Asian immigrants, who grew up mostly overseas, have “Asian guilt”...But, their kids are a different story...They go through US public school system...
They are taught about “white guilt”...Some of them end up being afraid of associated with whites...

If these brainwashed Stalinazi yoots are having their educations paid for by their folks, it should be yanked immediately. Pay their own way through college or send the little tykes to the local inner-city public skrool and see how they handle reality.
