Not sure if you mean to straw-man me or just read something between the lines that wasn't there. I live in the US so that's where my experience is, I think it would be disingenuous of me to talk about Uzbekistan because I don't live there even though I can google numbers about it.

If you read my post you'll see I never claimed any of those things. I also never said what race I was so not sure what your on about with that. 

Again, if your just straw-manning me, ok. If you've genuinely miss read it I hope I've cleared some of that up.

You did say racism against white people is kind of silly.  White people live all over the world your statistics only took into consideration America.
It's like if I live in a part of Africa where rich black people live and say racism against black people is pretty silly, speaking as a person who lives around rich black people, they have it great.

Also just to add again those statistics don't necessarily prove anything about racism, incarceration rates and education rates among Asians is better in America also and they're none white but commit less crimes, place a higher importance on Education and have higher IQ scores.  Especially Chinese, Korean and Japanese Asians.

Semantically you are correct, I should lead with my nationality. Sorry to have not done that. Allow me to edit it now. Oh wait, I did say that. So semantically you are incorrect. 

The stats are actually pretty self evident as a US national. The only major racism I know against Asians is that they generally have "small penises" which leads to the males being less desirable in the dating pool. (http://blog.okcupid.com/index.php/your-r...-you-back/) It's not a common held racist belief that Asians are less intelligent and more violent then whites. So the data is inline with the racial bias. 


Your argument for Asians would work if people held a negative view about their acuity in those areas. But that's not the case.

I love how that link tries to call whites racist and self absorbed for wanting to date within their own race. It's a preference. It also complains about the fact Asians and Blacks are attracted to whites.

Humans can date whoever the fuck they like.

And oh my god, a white man didn't text back? He must be racist, right?

It's really just data, you can drawl your own conclusions. Though I would find it profoundly irregular if cultural norms and societal views didn't play some part it the data resulting in they way it did.

I don't know what the first part of your post means at all I'm just assuming it's some sort of sarcasm. Say what you mean.

I'm not making a comment about if you should lead with your nationality whatever that means or talking about semantics. I'm saying racism against white people is not kind of silly.

Secondly black people do murder more than Asians or whites in America. It's mostly young black men who murder other young black men hence why the number 1 cause of death among young black men is being murdered by other young black men.
It's not just someone sitting in an armchair deciding Asian people probably commit less murder than black people, it's a fact shown in the murder and death rates of black people.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

The black population of America is 13.2% according to google and has to be taken into consideration looking at the statistics. Also bare in mind that the majority of the killings are done by a much smaller percentage of this because it's mainly young black males.

I tried twice and was unable to provide you with understanding. I'm just gonna assume your straw-manning me and leave it at that.

There's no strawman, what you said was wrong on many levels. 

 The narrow spectrum of data considering you're talking about racism against white people who live world wide.

The data is about incarceration rates and who gets degrees.  What does that have to do with racism not being as valid or "silly" if it's against white people?

Plus the FBI website there pretty much shows at least some explanation as to why black people might have it a bit tough if their murder rate is sky high and they're mainly murdering each other.  Talking about young black American males specifically. But again what does that have to do with racism against white people being silly?

Also there's a lot more to racism against Asians than what you claim.  There's been songs by well known black rappers about burning down Korean stores in black neighborhoods

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFwA0UwnuS8

Which pretty much did happen in the Baltimore riots.

Finally someone else agrees! Black store owners directed people to burn down white and Asian stores. Nothing was said in the media about that.

RE: Correcting grammar is racist.
Just to add I think it's insulting to black people aswell as white people to say black racism against white people is silly.  

When white people do something it's serious, black people do something and they don't have to take any responsibility, it's not that bad it's just silly.  That's how you treat people if they're a baby.  If they draw on your walls it's not bad it's just silly.
