[quote=deadzone]Well flu you just have a chip on your shoulder in my opinion. You are successful and financially better off than 99.x% of Americans. If those examples of “racism” you are providing is the worst things that have happened to you, then you’ve had a pretty good life. You don’t think white people get screwed by D-bag office politics? And those other examples of racial insults are pretty benign in the scheme of things. The same Karen that insulted you by asking you if you speak English is just as likely to insult myself or other non-Asians that they don’t like or agree with in some other way. D-bags will be D-bags and Karens will be Karens. But I’m tired of people throwing out the Racism word all the time. It is tired and overused.[/quote]
I dont know, i guess one could call it a chip on the shoulder. i view it as motivation to self improve. I like proving people wrong and winning. I dont like to like to settle and go with the flow and pick up a participation trophy for just showing up. But call it what you want, bias, unconscious bias, stereotypes, they exist. And like i said, best way to combat it is not to ask government to effect policy. that doesnt work..The best thing to do is dont support the people that dont support you.
I dont see why this is so difficult for some people to understand. Its different if someone is content with going with the flow, even if they are stuck in neutral at a job. Some people dont care. Like my ex coworker that didnt care about his work since he was running his real estate business which was considerably more lucrative. But then occasionally i run into people who arent happy with where they are at financially but at the same time dont want to move onto better opportunity elsewhere. I dont get it.
