All the Asian cultures are unbelievably racist

It depends what you mean by "Racist"?

Just because Asian nations don't want to be taken over by foreign religions, cultures, or dare I say it "skin" tone doesn't make them "racist".

Or does it?

Well, I can only speak from my experiences with Asian in-laws and their friends. Typically, they don't like any other Asian person UNLESS the choice is a white, black or hispanic person--(:

My MIL is from Thailand and I've gotten the low down on every other Asian group. Dirty Laotians, criminal Cambodians...you get the picture.

It was quite eye opening to me as I grew up on a steady diet of NYS public education kumbaya, only whitey is racist.

But, I have learned a valuable tool. If I go into an Asian owned business, I find a way to sneak into the conversation that my kids are part Thai--I immediately get better treatment. (:
