Like the revenge story. And I agree that there are douchebags and politics involved in corporate America and yours is a good example. But this is not any evidence of racial bias. If anything you seem to have the bias against “Frat Boys”. Point is there are a lot of reasons people get passed over or screwed over in the office. I just think race is not the biggest reason, that is a crutch used way too frequently in society these days. One thing I can say for certain on that topic, when I graduated from College (many moons ago), if I were black or female I could have picked any job I wanted.[/quote]
Uh, I would disagree with that…Asian bias usually comes in the form of thinking asians will put up with shit…Because the previous generation had the reputation of being passive. So you could treat them like shit and they would put up with it… So there is a stereotype of asians and you see it come up occasionally.
I’d like to give an example.
I was at a Rite Aid a few years back when I was younger, and being me, I was a little absentminded, so I didn’t know there was a line forming in a certain direction, and accidentally stepped in ahead of this Karen. Oh god, she went off of me…because you know I look kinda nerdie and quiet…But she kept yelling, so finally I went off at her, told her to to shut the fvck up and and just about every expletive I could think of came out of mouth.. and then she got scared and shutup… Why? Because I guarantee you if instead of being a “harmless” looking Asian, but a 220lb african american football player, she wouldn’t have said a word to begin with….And the fact that I seemed like this quiet harmless asian person that suddenly sounded like a psycho, well…That was an interesting lesson for me…Don’t come across as being passive asian, and people won’t pick on you.
Asians have being stereotyped as being passive throughout the years. So stepping on asians have become normalized and happens all the time…It will take about 2 generations to fix this.[/quote]
Again you are putting too much stock in the race thing. The fact that you might have gotten stepped on in this or any other instance is because you are/were a nerdly looking weakling. Nerds have been picked on since the dawn of time. Just watch (rewatch I hope) Revenge of the Nerds for a good laugh. I do agree that on average, Asian men are small, week and more nerdy looking than say their white and definitely their black counterparts. But the problem is not race. It’s that society has always mistreated nerds and large athletic types (regardless of race or Fraternity involvement) have always resented and bullied people who take school seriously.[/quote]
Well then there was HOA board member lady that threw out my property manager and myself out of the meeting right after she turned to me and asked if “Do you speak English?”
And then the two of us giving the property manager a shitstorm for the next month.
