CoronitaParticipantLook, 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.
Uh….Harm, no…Uh, profiled?….

CoronitaParticipant*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.

CoronitaParticipantWow! I am amused at all this talk as though US is going to go up in flames or sink underwater! Hey, some people came here without even being sure that they can find food to eat (the very first attempt at settling here ended in starvation and death by winter). Now you have McDonalds selling burgers for 29 cents every 2 miles. How bad can it get in your lifetime for anyone to think of emigrating?
bsrsharma,
It's not that I feel America is going up in flames. If you are an immigrant that can be identified by you're exterior features, you might better understand my concern. See, throughout american history, when things went wrong with the economy, there was always a scapegoat. My concern is the China issue is going to be the next blame game factor. The issue really is that a lot of us ABC grew up here. We wouldn't want to live in Taiwan, China, Japan, etc because the environment is just different. But at the same time, some folks think when you look at us, you're one of them. If China/US relations go sour, it's anyone's guess how things are going to be here for some of us. Moving to China/Taiwan/Japan isn't an option for people like us, because it isn't our country to begin with. Canada is the only alternative, with similar culture to the U.S.
I guess for that reason I'm figuring out how to emigrate there if the sh!t really hits the fan wrto to China/US relations in the future. The only reason why this tension isn't already exacerbated is because the U.S. got distracted by 9/11 and the War on Terrorism. Once folks get over that, we'll need another "enemy" to think about. A good guage of this is Hollywood Movies…First it was the Russians in all the WW3 movies, then it was Vietnam with all the Chuck Norris…I wouldnt' be surprised if we more movies portraying China is enemy.
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.

Although, I didn't know about the Federal civil charges after the state slap on the hand… I sort of feel better now. Ok, not really.
