reverse racial profiling, thin line between racism, and being racist.

While reading many articles in the yellowworld.com site. I can not help but notice the reverse racial profiling against White Americans. It seems every article almost, has something to point to white people as hating Asians, Blacks, Hispanics, and so on. However this is not true. Sure for some small uneducated ignorant groups of whites (i.e., KKK, skin heads, etc.) it maybe true. However the majority of the white population is not this way. Myself included (white male 32).
I happen to love the Asian culture of China, Japan, Thailand, Korea, etc. I have visited many of those countries on business and returned for my vacations alike. Each time bringing back some part of those countries with me (not trinkets, but cultural education). The cultural experience, and education about those countries is very interesting. Even though different from my own, I still found them very interesting worth preserving, and teaching my future children.
I have been interested in the Asian culture since I was younger (10years of age, now 32). Since I can remember watching Kung Fu movies with little to know translating on some satellite channel, with my grandmother. But I was raised to judge people on there actions only, not there race.
But the way some of the articles read on the site it would be more, since I’m white that I must have something against Asians, NO not at all. As a matter of fact I am about to marry a Chinese woman I met on a business trip some years ago. We will live in the US but only until my Chinese improves enough for us to move back to China, where I plan to raise my family. I will always remain an American (and of course be white), but I have no problem living in a Asian country, and working there. For a Asian company or US company it doesn’t matter to me.
But the racism against whites on your site makes it look as though Asians have more against whites. Even more than the ignorant small percentage of whites that have problems with Asians (above mentions groups). Reading the latest articles on the “BanBanzai”, “tomb raider lacking life” topic seemed to be slightly racial against whites. As anyone knows movies are not true life. They are meant for entertaining only. There are also millions of shows (over the years) making fun of whites. But no one complains about them. Due to it is in humor. With the exception of maybe the fore mentioned hate groups above. Most of us don’t care if it is whites, blacks, Asians, or what being made fun of, or if the good guy or bad guy in a movie is white, black , Asian, etc. We only care if it was entertaining or not.
Just thought I would let your readers know there are some white people which love the Asian culture. We do not wish to change it in anyway. We welcome it into our country. We do not show racism towards any race. Granted there are exceptions in any race, even the Asian races which hate whites, Blacks, and other races outside there own. This is something we all must deal with in any country. But through better education, and teaching of family values maybe one day this will be over come. But until then people often get angry and preach against racism towards them (their race) while at the same time being racist against the race they profile as against them or there race. Such as some of the articles on yellowworld.org. Which I read allot, and find very interesting and informative.
Keep up the good work just try to be more understanding and less racial profiling against all whites. Remember some of us Whites are not that bad (and really do like Asia and all its wonderful culture). We come from pour country families who’s parents much like some Asian families where poor. Had little to know travel outside there village or town. With no education on foreign countries. My grandmother I am still trying to convince China is not the old Russian Communist party as in the 60’s, but instead a nice country with allot of culture.
Myself, I will continue to read your website. No matter how much against or for any race it is. For I find no offense to it. But just wanted to voice the opinion of one man, who is white. But doesn’t racial profile anyone. Take care all.

If you actually do hang around YW, you will see that the majority of the topics have nothing to do with race, and even the ones that do aren't always about Whites.

I won't even get into how pretentious and self-centered your post is, because I've seen your rhetoric a million times before and it never changes. Oops - was that racial profiling? I apologize.

Well, for starters, why post in the Feedback & Support section?

ARRRGH!!! It's not THE culture! There are many and they are different. Furthermore, the people here are Asian Americans, and talking about how much you love it over in Asia is not going to make them like you.

I have been interested in the Asian culture since I was younger (10years of age, now 32). Since I can remember watching Kung Fu movies with little to know translating on some satellite channel, with my grandmother. But I was raised to judge people on there actions only, not there race.

Way to not make a good entrance... Saying your first experience to THE ASIAN CULTURE (again, as if there was one unified culture...) was based on Kung Fu Movies. OH! Thanks!

But the way some of the articles read on the site it would be more, since I’m white that I must have something against Asians, NO not at all. As a matter of fact I am about to marry a Chinese woman I met on a business trip some years ago.

Okay so you are going to marry an Asian woman, proof you are not racist? Well at least your penis isn't anyway. How many Asian guy friends do you have? See, normally I wouldn't get into this argument at all, as I usually stand up for people, and yes, I have noticed that sometimes the anti-Whiteness gets out of hand even on YW, however, your jumping into the fray saying you like to watch KungFu Movies and are going to marry an Asian woman seriously isn't very good entrance.

But the racism against whites on your site makes it look as though Asians have more against whites.

Keep in mind that you are reading what comes from a lot of angry activists, and what angry activists say no way represents all Asians. Thanks for stereotyping us.

Even more than the ignorant small percentage of whites that have problems with Asians (above mentions groups). Reading the latest articles on the “BanBanzai”, “tomb raider lacking life” topic seemed to be slightly racial against whites. As anyone knows movies are not true life. They are meant for entertaining only. There are also millions of shows (over the years) making fun of whites. But no one complains about them.

There are reasons why. I don't exactly agree with all the instances where activists feel the need to complain about the media, but I certainly understand it and where they are coming from.

Just thought I would let your readers know there are some white people which love the Asian culture. We do not wish to change it in anyway.

Yes, they are called Asiaphiles. And you are changing it, like it or not.

We welcome it into our country.

So, then it's white people's country? Doesn't sound like welcoming to me.

Remember some of us Whites are not that bad (and really do like Asia and all its wonderful culture). We come from pour country families who’s parents much like some Asian families where poor.

What the fuck are you talking about now? I can't even follow your point.

Had little to know travel outside there village or town.

It's NO N-O not know! Sorry, I don't mean to be picky about grammar, but this is the second time.

Myself, I will continue to read your website. No matter how much against or for any race it is. For I find no offense to it.

Liar, you obviously did take offense, thus, a defensive post.

Dude, I don't mean get off on the wrong foot, but you have made a horrible entrance. Sometimes I too got kinda irked when the anti-whiteness would come up in some threads, and also when people assume that media images are harmful because they assume that most whites are total morons. I've tried to defend white people sometimes. Your post and others like it are making that harder and harder for for me to do.

the articles do speak of racial insensitivity (to use the words of our mod, kittygirl). however, i don't think any of them single out 'whites' as the perpetrators of the racially insensitive acts. it's interesting that you would infer that they do. are you a closet racist?

how is it that a bald headed guy talking in a "funny" accent can become entertainment? Entertainment, no more like degradation.

er? you're forgetting one very important detail. the majority of this country IS WHITE. People are funny in a way, when a white person sees another white person on screen, he/she will not take the comedy routine to heart, since they themselves know that not every white person acts that way (cause of course the viewer is white). HOwever, when people aren't familiar with another race, they will try to define them according to the few examples they see on tv or where ever. Hence, when they see a show like banzai, most people living in those rectangular states will think, oh gee i guess that's how ALL of THEM act.


You think we're racist? Fine. Don't expect it to change anytime soon. It seems no matter how hard you try to relate, your egocentrism will always get in the way.

But the racism against whites on your site makes it look as though Asians have more against whites. Even more than the ignorant small percentage of whites that have problems with Asians (above mentions groups).

Where exactly do you see this small percentage. Because I can assure you that racism against asians by whites is by far LARGER than that other percentage you talk about. In fact, if you can prove it, show us the numbers.

Most of us don’t care if it is whites, blacks, Asians, or what being made fun of, or if the good guy or bad guy in a movie is white, black , Asian, etc. We only care if it was entertaining or not.

The media likes to portray sterotypes. Of course, it's entertaining if it's not at YOUR expense. But those of us wish to not to be degraded to a sterotype, would like to see LESS of it. Televisions shows and movies don't improve the image of any culture that isn't european or american.

Just thought I would let your readers know there are some white people which love the Asian culture.

What exactly is this asian culture? There are various cultures around the world, but then you group all of us together and say you love our culture? Everyone's culture is different, and all of us come from different backgrounds. But people tend to think... Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese culture as being the whole entire asian population. What about Tibetians, or the various ethnic groups in China? Lations? Hmong? So I don't think "white people" (though I just assume this is an american talking on his behalf of 'people') can really assume to love asian culture as a whole. You're only expose to several different specific aspects of it. When you can say you like on group, that's fine. Otherwise I just think you're speaking a whole bunch of nonsense, which is basically what I'm thinking right now.

[coagulated fat]

Blackface was entertaining at the time, but it was entertaining at the expense of an entire ethnic group. This is why stereotypes as comedy are not aok.

I believe there is an equal percentage of Asian and white racists.

America does not belong to white people. It belongs to American citizens.

That is all.

You can speak for yourself and your closer friends. Other then that, you can't really speak for what a typical AA goes through in an area sparse of other AA's. Until you've walked a mile in our shoe's, you're views from the outside are just that........outside views. =/

[VV o n g B a]

hahaha...

u know, it's b/c of ppl like u that AA's get pissed off. even at a cursory glance u don't seem to have a clue about the source of our complaints. i have another descriptive word for u: culture-hugger. hug away man. hug away.

For once i'd like to see a troll not talk about his appreciation of "asian" culture by using his fugly girlfriend as an example of his sincerity.

There is no such thing as "reverse" racism. You're either a racist or you're not. I don't think any of the people up here are racist. Just because someone gets offended by something and decides to speak out on it doesn't make them a racist.
