The incident in your link happened at a gas station in KS, NOT at a Trump rally.[/quote]I’m not going to bother reading past this first sentence. You’re just going to deny and give a whole bunch of irrelevant words to defend your denial. So, whatever. I’m done w/ this “debate”. Enjoy your Kool-Aid.Participant[quote=flu]What amazes is Ben Carson got behind him. Talk about one confused idiot.
I have to thank Trump for showing me just how crazy most of the GOP candidates are at the national level.
Seems like many of them need obamacare to cover some of their mental health issues.[/quote]
+1Participant[quote=bearishgurl]How do YOU know what color, race, Nationality (or combination thereof) I am? I’ve done a bit of public speaking in my life and have gotten unwarranted criticism and other personal “low blows” directed my way. I let it roll off my back. If you don’t want to let it roll off your back, you have my permission to tell anyone making “racist comments” directed at you to, “Go to h@ll” :=0[/quote]
I don’t care about verbal attacks (sticks and stones and all that jazz) but I do care about physical ones.Participant[quote=bearishgurl][quote=AN][quote=flu]To be fair, I don’t this sort of racism was any more or less than before Trump. Its probably always existed. Its just now people probably think it is acceptable behavior.[/quote]I don’t think Trump is making America more racist. But I do think he make those closet racist to think it’s OK to say it out loud and “make America great again”.[/quote]If this is actually, true, why should any of us be bothered by the utterance of a “racist” idiot? Is this person actually your boss, your pastor or your landlord? Just let it roll off your back.[/quote]

Easy for you to say. No one is going to beat you up because of your skin color.Participant[quote=bearishgurl][quote=AN][quote=bearishgurl]Has Trump actually stated anywhere that he intends to have US Homeland Security make a “clean sweep” to deport any groups already in the country illegally? Maybe I’ve been in living in a dark closet (and only had 4-5 TV channels left, as of Sunday)[/quote]
LoL, yes, you’re living in a dark closet. Now it all make sense why you’re saying the stuff you’re saying.[/quote]Do you have any links to videos of Trump saying these things?[/quote]That is his platform. Try and use “the Google”.

Although it might not make make difference for me voting for Hillary in California but I will definitely vote against Duncan Hunter if he run for reelection specifically because he endorsed Trump.[/quote]I don’t vote in CA anymore…. But does Duncan Hunter represent Mira Mesa?[/quote]He’s a congressman for California US District 52.

Short answer is yes.[/quote]No, this is wrong. He represents District 50 — more of an East County district.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California%27s_50th_congressional_districtMira Mesa is District 52 — represented by Scott Peters.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California%27s_52nd_congressional_district%5B/quote%5DMy bad, you’re correct. I missread. He represented District 52 up to 2013 and due to redistricting, he now represent District 50. Too bad I can’t vote against him… Oh well.Participant[quote=flu]To be fair, I don’t this sort of racism was any more or less than before Trump. Its probably always existed.

Participant[quote=bearishgurl]Uhh, AN, if you’re referring to me as a “Trump supporter,” you should be aware that I haven’t made up my mind yet but am leaning towards …[/quote]
You should reread what I posted. I said you and the many Trump supporter. I didn’t say you are a Trump supporter. You, like many Trump supporters think these racism $hit are made up. You just don’t understand.Participant[quote=outtamojo]A little anecdote, close to home for me, coming soon to some of us here:
So my sister-in-law on the East coast goes in to the local doc in a box urgent care. New patient so no medical history so you get interviewed. She disclosed she was a stay at home mom, took care of kids and elderly parents- taking them places and translating for them. (they are Korean). During her exam, male doctor starts talking about Trump and then ranting about immigrants out of the blue and then tells sil her parents should go back to Korea if they can’t speak English.
Did he always speak to his patients like that, or did he become emboldened by the prospect of institutionalized covert racism coming back in favor?
If he had just taken the time to learn about her parents, he would discover how they legally came to the country with nothing and built a mini empire of laundromats and liquor stores. They do speak some English, heavily accented, but they do the best they can. Are they not the embodiment of what was the American dream? And yet the emboldened racist can only see them as foreigners who don’t belong.
Yah, sure, Trump had nothing to do with this and was nowhere near the building so how why was this his fault..[/quote]
+1This is exactly the $hit I’m afraid of that BG and the many Trump supporter fail to see. Just look at what happened to the Japanese not too long ago.
ParticipantAlso, the article said:
[quote]The wealth gap between older and younger Asians is an anomaly, said Haskin. Wealth normally functions the other way around—the older population have higher levels of wealth, for various reasons. Among Asians, however, it is the younger population who are wealthier.[/quote]
It’s only an anomaly if you compare it to other culture. It’s not an anomaly if you understand the Asian culture. It would be an anomaly the other way around. I know many first gen immigrants who came here w/ nothing, worked hard, save as much as they could, and pay for their kids college tuition. So, today, their kids are wealthier than they are, because instead of thinking about “me” and save for “me” first, they plow every dollar they have to ensure their kids will be successful. That’s the Asian culture. Part of the Asian culture is also, once the kids are successful, they will repay their parents and help take care of them when they’re old because they know that they wouldn’t be where they are today if their parents didn’t sacrifice everything for them.

Short answer is yes.
Participant[quote=njtosd]Flu – Asians are projected to become the wealthiest group in the US in coming years. http://www.cnbc.com/2015/03/15/mericans-are-transforming-the-face-of-us-wealth.html
When they do, will that mean that discrimination against Asians has stopped?[/quote]
Success of a race on average and discrimination against a race are two separate thing. Just because Asian found ways to work around the discrimination, persevere through the discrimination, and achieve financial success does not mean they’re not being discriminated against. It just mean as a group, Asian don’t spend as much energy bitching about it as working with the landscape that’s in front of them, even when there’s discrimination.Participant[quote=paramount][quote=flu]
Some racist americans are sick and tired of seeing whites doing better than them and need socialism to reign whites through laws that deliberately slows them down or turn them away.
