My guess is how whites discriminate against Asians in America.

Whites don't do it that way though, we do it by denying Asians spots in elite schools that they have earned.

Asians are not the new blacks in America, they are the new jews

My state actually outlawed affirmative action so that spots in schools cannot be taken away from people of any race and given to someone else based on race.

Asians are not the "New blacks", that is correct. However they are not the "new jews" either. They are Asian and their children will be american.

Probably because some of his opinions were based on a false assumption. Obviously something needs to be done to protect Asians, but enough with this narrative that Asians are suffering due to the bigotry of white people and that an army of white rednecks are marching on Asian communities.

This is a comment which only a Jew would dare make. Which is to say, it's making pernicious assumptions about Jews, which other Jews could be expected to take offense at. And Why?

Ethel mermania wrote:Implying jews are not Americans


So you can take offense at someone else's use of your own phrase!

*shakes head*


No jew would be offended by that phrase. " new jews". The comparison has been made by others.

If I said, "the Chinks are just like the kikes" you would have a point

My comparison talks about the quote systems that were used to discriminate against jews in this country in the past, as being similar to the ones discriminating against Asians in the presence.

. The issue is saying asian kids become American and the imimplication of the comparison is that Jewish kids dont.

Because most attackers are black, and this is a way to turn the narrative, and put the idea in people's heads that Asians are under attack from white rednecks.

I'm pretty sure they would if I used it. And when you have to call on precedent to explain why it's not offensive, you really just strengthen my point. You were just fishing for someone who doesn't understand "jewish issues" that well, to make an insensitive comment.

Actually less offensive than an "Average Joe" reading of your earlier post. I'll leave it there for now, since it doesn't seem relevant to the thread.


As many others have used that phrase, and as you surmised i am Jewish, we wouldn't. So that point is crap.
I explained it cause because it was clear you didn't understand it.

The rest of your crap is wrong too, so we can just let it lie there.

Anti-Asian sentiment and violence only entered mainstream discourse both in Europe and America when a white guy finally committed some. They put a white face to the phenomena that is overwhelmingly not committed by white people. OP did the same.
