Chalk up another one to the ever growing Model Minority Police Blotter list...

In a way it's good though. All these Asian brothers who are doing these crazy tings are destroying the model minority Asian nerd that you can kick around stereotype. Thanks to these Asian brothers white people will think twice about messing with an Asian man.

Ah shit. It's because of Asians like you that the Asian American community can be united, like the Black community. We're stuck on defining each other based on what Asian country you trace your lineage to. White people don't do that shit.

If we can't be united, we'll never have all the stuff that African Americans have. We'll never enjoy the same status that they have, which is actually better. You never see people making $5 sucky fucky jokes about black people.

[monkeygone2]

oh, you're a troll.

you need more self control. blew your wad on that third sentence. dead giveaway.

Hmmmmmm........

i think the problem is that there are indeed divisions among Asians in this country. Take for example East Asians (Chinese, Koreans, Taiwanese, etc.). They often look down upon Southeast Asians because many Southeast Asians supposedly fail to live up to the model minority standard. Further, during my time at USC, we've had South Asians who were interested in joining our (our as in Asian American) cause but were often told to get lost because Indians were not considered "real" Asians.

i do think the problem is that there are divisions among the different Asian (East, Southeast, South) groups. Take another example, the reactions I read on message boards (including this one) to the 2007 AZN Excellence Awards. From what I read, many people who saw the Awards show were "upset" that not enough real Asians were represented on that show. One poster (on this very forum) even went so far as to say that South Asians should have been excluded from that awards show.

Like it or not, East Asians (Chinese, Koreans, etc.) need to unite with Southeast and South Asian groups to be one voice. While all Asians may have our differences, collectively, Asians can represent a powerful voice in society.

well...of course.
my comment was directed at pimp's assertion that terrorist threats perpetrated by disgruntled "asian brothers" are a good thing.

i said these mentally unstable guys are not my "brothers". i'm supposed to support these cowardly acts because i have slanty eyes? i'm supposed to thank these guys for creating a new weak, evil asian man stereotype?

his retort was so off track... :

No, they are not a good thing, but they do have a good side effect, that of empowering Asian brothers and giving the world a new image of us.

You can't just divorice people from your race just because you don't like what they're doing. That's just weak. We Asian Americans have to be united!

I never said you had to support his act. I don't. I just pointed out that they had a nice side effect that benefits the Asian man.

And even if you call them cowardly acts, what they did is braver than just doing nothing, which is what Asian brothers have been doing up until now. It's time to rise up!

[AngryABCGirl]

These guys aren't my brothers either.

But demographically speaking perhaps it was inevitably some angry asian guys were gonna explode sooner or later and the model minority myth set to die in a high-profile way.

There are been Asian American civil rights activists in the 60s standing up for are people to people now working for the the most disadvantaged in our communities. Those guys are my brothers, not some whackjob criminal.

[mr. x]

yeah dude, ask a hundred of the black community if they are united and I'm sure you'll get 100 different answers

Empowering the Asian American community through fear of violence. Yeh. That's REAL empowerment.

How are you going to "be united" with people who threaten violence one minute, but not be "supporting the act"? You don't even know the motives behind what the guy was trying to accomplish, so why would you support him?

I'm not going to blindly follow someone or something without thinking about it for myself, and my own motives. Don't take my lack of action from what you see to be a lack of response. I just like to think about where I count the most and then get my shots in.

What's with the flood of morons lately.

LOL, I don't even know where to start with this.

Sigh! Uhhh, these misguided souls just reinforce the stereotype of loser, anti-social AMs (and in these cases, they just take the coward's way of "standing up for themselves").

I don't see anything positive in that.

Actually, supporting others on the basis of nothing else other than race/ethnicity is weak, or rather just pathetic (esp. if they have committed crimes and hurt the innocent).

When did I say I was supporting him? I just pointed out a nice side effect. And I'm not going to deny that he and I are the same racially.

Gee, I'm not sure, let me think . . . . .

Sure sounds like you want to be united and associated with them and their actions here.

In this last quote, you made two statements that contradicted each other right from the get go, but you still wanted to be united with them.

Either you want to be associated with the people who threaten to hurt someone and how they're changing how Asian Americans are perceived, or you do it the same way most of the sane Asian Americans do, through positive action and reinforcement.

Enough of your flip flopping crap.
