it’s always been like this. it will always be like this.
some areas of the country are worse than others. san diego should be ok, despite the rednecks. la and bay area would be better, but san diego is no virgina or texas.
it’s one of the reasons minority racism against other minorities is so absurd. being minorities, you have to stick together no matter what. also, to respect each other’s individual and common histories, hardships, successes…

November 7, 2007 at 8:11 PM #97137ocrenterParticipantseriously though, I really doubt Asians in California (SoCal and NorCal) will have that much to fear. As for Asians in the rest of the country? that’s another story.
remember that Sikh gas station owner that was killed after 9/11 in Arizona? most of America have no clue that a Sikh is Indian and not remotely Arabic let alone Muslim.
As far as dual passports. My parents hold both Taiwanese and US passports. But Taiwanese passport is the last thing I want to secure about. A rise in China’s political power/economic power means Taiwan will eventually be assilated, voluntary or forced.
Dude, have a little more confidence in your homeland. sounds like you are already ready to throw up the white flag (or in this case the blue flag).

November 7, 2007 at 8:15 PM #97141bsrsharmaParticipantFLU: OK, I will ask you point blank – how often, you or anyone you know, have felt threatened or intimidated because of your “external features” are different?
Look, we have a war going on on Islamic terrorists & radical Arabs. How many Muslims or Arabs have you heard being harmed? They have better chance of getting mugged in NY/LA/Chicago etc.
If you really need some thing to worry about, I think it may be good to worry about obesity, our national epidemic that is truly killing us all.

November 7, 2007 at 8:43 PM #97154CoronitaParticipant*1 friend of wife was beaten up in college.
*Several friends that were Korean in L.A. had parents roughed up. I guess they own cleaners/liquor stores in the inner city.
*Personally, been called a chink in Bay Area a few times when in bars by some that had a few too many.
*Had a person that I bought artwork from in L.A. have his home fence vandalized with the word Chink after I visited him. No, it wasn't a rough neighborhood.
And of course there was Wen Ho Lee incident, and the cox report
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wen_Ho_Lee
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_Cox_Report_controversy
which is one of many reasons why I will never work for any defense company that requires me to get a security clearance.
I'm not saying the FBI/CIA wasn't right in investigating or suspecting anything. Afterall, who is to blame the FBI/CIA in trying to make heads or tails on intelligence data.
