Certainly, East Asians tend to do better in this country than other types of minorities. One could argue that since East Asians didn't endure centuries of slavery, that you're actually making my argument for me -- that history continues to affect us today. I think it's more reasonable to assume that racism itself is complicated and doesn't affect all minorities in the same way (that is to say, that there isn't a simple blanket "non-white" racism), than to assume that the entire population of Asian people are more motivated than the entire population of anyone else. But I think that the "issue" of East Asians in America versus other minorities obfuscates a deeper pattern. Recent immigrants tend to do a lot better than non-white populations that have been here a long time. African immigrants, for example, do a lot better than African Americans. And a greater proportion of East Asians are relatively recent immigrants compared to African Americans. This brings in all sorts of confounding factors ranging from the issue of brain drain and whether expatriates as a group have positive qualities, to comparative issues surrounding the civilizations that people come from (e.g. trying to compare 20th century China to 16th century Ghana is basically impossible). In other words, I think it much more likely that first generation immigrants have a strong work ethic compared to mainline Americans than to say that East Asians per se do. I haven't seen any hard data, but it seems to me that the very old ghettoized Chinatowns in some parts of the country support this analysis. What about them?

]]> Comment on “The Race Card” vs. “Real Racism,” part five: drawing parallels between the “race card” and “crying rape” by Rachel http://blackwhiteman.com/?p=90&cpage=1#comment-102 Rachel Tue, 13 Oct 2009 00:30:03 +0000 http://www.blackwhiteman.com/?p=88#comment-102 It is not just rape and sexual harrassment that women can "make up" to get their own way. I know of women who have children with men, and when they break up they try to extort money using the children as the bargining chip. A male friend of mine was put in this situation and when he didn't play along, she sued for sole custody. When it looked like he would win she suddenly decided to say that he physically abused her, was a raging alcoholic etc. This was taken at her word, and not only did he only end up with 4 hours vistation a fortnight, they had to be supervised by a social worker. Us women can be real bitches. It is not just rape and sexual harrassment that women can “make up” to get their own way.

I'm black (from deep south Mississippi), wife's white from rural Missouri (no black people out there), and our son is almost a year old. Needless to say, that church been an interesting environment. Speaking of church, when my motive was to suit myself, rather than going to church to serve & worship, then I was more focused on what music is or wasn't there. However, the more I serve, (now my wife & I are leaders in the college class), I don't think about it nearly as much. I would love for churches to be more of a truer representation of what I suspect heaven to be in terms of people groups there, but I just don't think it will happen on this side of heaven. I lived in Montgomery, AL for a short time: man that was hard. That town is 48% black, 48% white, & 4% "other". But churches don't mix at all (not enough to make a statistical difference anyway). I hope that you search out why you get vehemently opposed to creationism. I got my undergrad degree in Zoology, and they force fed me evolution in every upper level course. But since finishing, I have taken courses that evaluates the science that supports both views, and I was blown away by how much overwhelming evidence there is that suggests a younger earth rather than a million & billion year old earth. They look at stuff like fossil records: if there was a global flood, then we would expect to see alot of dead things burried all over the world in the same layers (which is what has been found), but evolution suggests that older things are on the bottom & younger things on top, but that's not found. Many more examples, can't get into that stuff now, but Answers in Genesis are pretty much one of the best sources on this topic that would at least attempt to give a fair hearing of what each view holds and the evidence for both. I hope you are not angry with me for suggesting them. I have shared your struggle to find a church with the right mix.

It is often a surprise for people to learn that, in reality, there is actually No Such Thing As a "Light Skinned Black" person. The term "Light Skinned Black" is really nothing more than a racist oxymoron that was created by White Supremacists in an effort to forcibly deny those Mixed-Race people, who are of a Multi-Generational Multiracially-Mixed (MGM-Mixed) Lineage, the right to fully embrace and receive public support in implementing their rightful choice to acknowledge the truth regarding their full ancestral heritage. The people who have been slapped with the racist false-label and oxymoronic misnomer of "Light Skinned Black" person are simply Mixed-Race individuals -- whose family have been continually Mixed-Race throughout the multiple generations of their existence.
