Sadly, no matter time, education, life, people in this country will always hate. Add president that is clueless to most things, and hate spreads. As we saw.
My mother told me many stories about her youth during WWII. She was always beyond bothered by how the American people and Government treated Japanese Americans . History of the white man is full of hate/ignorance. Sad and weak. I do not think we can unstupid someone. And sadly we can not prevent them from procreating.
FEAR remains the true enemy, and yet it is stilled abetted and promoted in some circles in pursuit of political ends – fear is the one true weapon of dictators
much love, George, from lovely, diverse Canada – so very glad I live here!!
We Hispanics are also considered “forever foreigners” and so do all non-white immigrants. Will this ever change? I may always wonder.
Saying where the Corona virus originated is not racist. The virus started in Wuhan China. It is a thing. However, it is not the fault of all of China’s population. Just a select few… with the help of Fauci’s funding. People need to realize and stop misplacing their anger with attacks on others, no matter their ethnicity! Plain and simple. Follow the bread crumbs of fact, people.
Immigrants are not Americans. In no country on this Earth does anyone become the nationality by gaining citizenship in another country. Immigrants are only Immigrants of whatever nation of origins they are of. There is also no such thing as Chinese-American, or Japanese-American, or Korean-American in terms of nationality and these are only ethnic labels to thin the herd for purposes of census taking and such. American born are the only Americans in this country, according to our flipping Constitution, and Americans are Americans and not Hyphenated-Americans.
With this said, unfortunately as we do have a lot of issues internally with many immigrants of Asian nations such as especially India and China, as well as many Asian nationals living here and abroad who absolutely are working to strip America from its people for planned expansion and repopulation (Indians and Chinese) and are having much success this past decade with the Indian community rising to be the wealthiest and overall most prosperous ethnic group in America in 2013 and other things such as China being sold U.S. farm land despite it being treason for any American to do so, this is going to come with many less than bright Americans targeting Asians racially by appearance in general, and many are just as American as them.
A fix for this could be to follow he original plan and cutoff immigration entirely, as it is those who aren’t Americans coming in that is creating the bigotry of Americans of Asian descent.
Also, I’ll point out of how many Asians in America are playing the same whiny game another ethnic group used in the past to weasel their way to the top by getting special treatment and becoming essentially bulletproof to any criticism from the American people being screwed over by them. The population was grown by immigration during and after the war, “refugees” whining about being the “victim” in the damn country that saved their sorry asses and they were never oppressed in, all to get a step up with manipulation that worked in their favor. They became the wealthiest and overall most prosperous ethnic group in America until 2013 when Kamala Harris’ group, the Indian community, replaced them. Asians in general are also in the top spot in America and have been this entire past decade, while they whine and whine and whine and push demonization of the majority population of America. Just like the previous group did!
Thank you, Mr. Takei for speaking about your experience. My grandparents were also immigrants and our family was taught to respect everyone. It's very sad that in this great country there is so much anger and hate, especially in the last four years.
0:08 BABY! I'M YAR MAN! I've travelled to the land of Evil WITHOUT Good! 0:21 Oh dear. What's the AAPI. I don't know that one. 'AAPI stands for Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders.' – 'Pacific Islanders refer to those whose origins are the or original peoples of Polynesai, Micronesia, and Melanesia. Polynesia includes Hawaii (Native Hawaiian), Samoa (Samoan), American Samoa (Samoan), Tokelau (Tokelauan), Tahiti (Tahitian), and Tonga (Tongan).' – I see. So the Japanese, Chinese, Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Vietnamese, Burmese, Cambodian and Pacific Island people, are all one community?? So basically all the Yellows and Browns but not the Natives because they're Reds? Very hard to understand the U. S. colorization thing. You couldn't provide us with a chart could you? Could you please make a nice chart of the U. S. 'communities' explaining which countries of origin/race/ethnicity, fit into which category? We'd be ever so grateful! Cuz AAPI, I thought it was a financial syndicate. 0:38 So what is "Asian American Hate"? Hate towards Chinese and Japanese Americans but not Indian and Pakistani Americans? Is it 'Oriental American Hate'? 0:43 By the blaming of Covid 19 on China? 0:50 How ABSOLUTELY IDIOTIC! A corona virus is NOT a 'flu' virus! 0:52 Oh no. He said "Chinese virus" not "Chinese flu". Although I did see him say "the China flu" at times actually. But although the outbreak started in China, we still have no REAL reason to believe that it wasn't bioweapon built by another nation. I mean HIV was released in Nairobi Kenya in 1968 and got blamed on "Africans having sex with monkeys" at one time. 0:53 HE said "Kung Flu"??? NO WAY?! So that's why all the comments in the Everybody Was Kung Fu Fighting video talk about "Kung Flu"?! I didn't see any videos of DT saying "Kung Flu". But don't worry Sir. Because One Kung Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest! So the Cloud Cuckooland people are inna whole lotta trouble! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCPT0I189nA – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-SqXypIq-w – DON'T WORRY SIR! We've SERIOUSLY SHARPENED our action! We've got the warrior nuns Kung Flying Over the Cuckoo's Nest now! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QL0v5wLxKM
So once again the left wing media puts up a man as an expert solely based on his race, but in actuality who has absolutely no expertise on anything he's talking about. He's wrong on a multitude of things here. Funny enough, he blames Trump for the recent Asian hate crimes and yet calls FDR a "great president" despite throwing him and his family in an internment camp.
Oh shut up no one hate Asians get over it
Why are people hating on Asians? Especially Asian Americans. WWII was the worse treatment of good standing American born Japanese Americans. But I can tell ya Zulu that I’m indigenous American and they still haven’t made up for what they did and still do to us. So don’t expect anything to change much brother.
This country is racist period.
It's a shame how ignorant some Americans are, and poorly educated. These problems are never going away, since there's bunch of sheeps who doesn't know better!
Then, get mad when an Asian American perfer to represent China instead of our great US of A. You can't have it both ways! You idiots can't!
This shite has been happening to black people since the nations founding join the the club. Asian people do not carry the stigma of slavery at least be thankful for that. You are not in the position of black American that 2022 cant get a anti- lynching bill passed yet Asian have a hate crime bill.
How about we are all human beings???? no Americans no Asians no blacks no whites just HUMANS!
Donald Trump his is criminal 👈👁️
Fans of trump are very lost in their moral consciousness. A true leader needs character,humility,and understanding but Trump is more into getting his own way and attacking whoever doesnt agree with him. People like him because he's entertaining and isnt afraid to speak his mind but at the end of the day he is not a well balanced ,kind,or caring leader. Like minded foolish people will flock to a like-minded foolish leader
I once knew an old Japanese man, who liked going to Santa Anita Park, to bet on the horses. He used to say that Santa Anita was his second home. I thought that he just referred to Santa Anita Park as his second home, because he spent so much time there, betting on the horses, until one day he told me that he actually lived there for a while, when he was a small child, because the United States government was using the park, as an Internment camp for American residents & citizens of Japanese decent, during World War 2.
That does not matter to the ignorant deplorable inhumans who tries to decide who is American or not ,?and yes the Wuhan virus is a Xi ping China problem and world crisis .
Why is this freaking happening now?!?!
