do you think asians are gonna get harrassed by this?
« on: April 20, 2007, 03:39:10 PM »
since the shooting in virginia the korean government stated concern of racism against koreans by this.
I know that will not never happen.
but harrassment toward the asian population in general is a possiblility.
look at the rodney king riot.
korean`s were targeted,but all other asian were attacked with the statement "their all the same"
my nephew is already getting bugged at school.
SARS was bad enough.
will this trigger something more?

If it doesn't does that proove that fair minded Americans are common and foolish ones are scarce?


Would anything prove that?

don`t sure
I just want to know what`s gonna happen .
unfortunely predicting this kind of behaviour is not that hard
but predicting this will start people to actually address the problem and truely try to stop it
not very likely
note that the news hasn`t shown any program for school to not encourage this kind of out break
meaning no more bullies
no more taunting students
I`m not saying this would cure a trouble student,but it`ll definately minimize outbreak.
pretty much all of them has bullies as the catalyst.
I remember the san diego outbreak
the reaction on that one is he should of taken the harrassment and not act out
a kid on tv said something to that effect.
note how everything avoids tackling this issue of bullies.

Bullys are people reacting inappropriately to their fear of being bullied about half the time.


I would not be surprised if some drunk were to accoust you with an unreasonable accusation before long.


About half of Bullys are people on power trips who are looking for some excuse to indulge themselves.

There will be some morons and racists who'll use this tragedy to harrass, if not try to injure Asians.  But by and large, most folks will realize this bloke was simply a certfied nutjob, and in no way was "representing" the Asian race

My mother told me about people harrassing the German population of her little town in Oklahoma during the first World War. 
Unfortunately I think it's going to happen, but I don't have answers on how to prevent it.

I think remember that town
they we`re called america first i believe.
i heard it`s the reason that phrase has never been used because of that town.

And since asian to the most part is fairly assimliated here in the U.S.
We even have one or two on TV.
it`ll most likely be minimul_I hope
but the only thing that maybe a problem is we`re such a small percent here in the U.S.
most people only see asian`s on tv.
