That's a great point and many of the Chinese of those generations also suffered endemic poverty due to racism. The thing that Asians and others need to remember is that prior to the 1960's we were also considered colored. If not for the efforts of the Civil Rights movement, largely led by Blacks, we wouldn't have had the opportunity to even be called a model minority.
America doesn't care about racism unless it's about African Americans or the Jewish community. In fact, if I had just typed "blacks and jews" instead of those terms, someone would probably flip out too.
That's not exactly groundbreaking research - whoever has hiring control tends to favor people like themselves. Somehow it's news when white people do it? Sometimes it works the opposite way though when affirmative action-type policies are in place.
and wrong! How dare you lump all brown people together? That's like saying all asians are chinese, and all hispanics are mexican. For the record, many cabbies are sikh!
I like how he says it like it's just a normal thing. "Hey I don't like black people, no biggie. I don't see why everybody's trippin..." <iframe width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Sio8EaxbJ88" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
He has a right to feel that way. It's a free country. Just as I have the right to think he's a dumbass. With freedom of speech, you have to take the good with the bad eh?
