Chinese immigrants had greater disadvantages when they arrived here over 100 years ago, yet their lineages improved their own lot with each generation

2019-01-08 18:07:47 UTC  

it doesn't

2019-01-08 18:07:48 UTC  

infact there is racism against whites if anything

2019-01-08 18:07:51 UTC  

Affirmative action

2019-01-08 18:08:00 UTC  

You can see above some of the older public bathrooms in our town the letters “WHITE” and “COLORED” that have been scraped off

2019-01-08 18:08:02 UTC  

And let's not forget the Asian communities were in a bad condition

2019-01-08 18:08:02 UTC  

Blacks as a whole do not attempt to succeed

2019-01-08 18:08:05 UTC  

most countries in Asia were poor

2019-01-08 18:08:07 UTC  

broken

2019-01-08 18:08:09 UTC  

Strongly disagree

2019-01-08 18:08:23 UTC  

China was destroyed by socialism, Japan was destroyed by a war, India same

2019-01-08 18:08:26 UTC  

Considering we’ve had a black president it’s hard to say they don’t try to succeed

2019-01-08 18:08:45 UTC  

What?

2019-01-08 18:08:46 UTC  

he is an outlier and a mulatto is he not

2019-01-08 18:08:49 UTC  

Oh

2019-01-08 18:08:51 UTC  

yeah they don't

2019-01-08 18:08:59 UTC  

It's almost always choices

2019-01-08 18:09:08 UTC  

Just look at Chicago currently

2019-01-08 18:09:15 UTC  

and I'd say welfare too

2019-01-08 18:09:28 UTC  

You’ve heard of redlining, white flight, blockbusting?

2019-01-08 18:09:44 UTC  

Those forces were most powerful in Chicago

2019-01-08 18:09:46 UTC  

Whats wrong with white flight?

2019-01-08 18:09:48 UTC  

And other similar cities

2019-01-08 18:10:17 UTC  

Also funfact:

2019-01-08 18:10:27 UTC  

Most redlinining isn't racism

2019-01-08 18:10:38 UTC  

This is the disinformation that led to the crash of 2008

2019-01-08 18:10:39 UTC  

have you ever lived in a black neighborhood @Leo (BillNyeLand)

2019-01-08 18:10:44 UTC  

It was caused mostly by blockbusting, and it led to the flight of capital and tax revenue into surrounding areas

2019-01-08 18:10:48 UTC  

It's more of the facts that these neighborhoods are mostly poorer

2019-01-08 18:10:55 UTC  

My neighbor is black

2019-01-08 18:11:01 UTC  

But not my other neighbor

2019-01-08 18:11:16 UTC  

(One of my neighbors)

2019-01-08 18:11:21 UTC  

I'm asking about a black neighborhood

2019-01-08 18:11:31 UTC  

You mean a sort of ghetto-type?

2019-01-08 18:11:32 UTC  

Nope

2019-01-08 18:11:32 UTC  

as in most of your neighbors ony our street are black

2019-01-08 18:11:36 UTC  

blockbusting, redlining etc

2019-01-08 18:11:42 UTC  

isn't a problem if they didn't have the choices

2019-01-08 18:11:43 UTC  

then you have not seen how they treat their own property

2019-01-08 18:11:48 UTC  

of living in poor neighbourhoods/ being poor

2019-01-08 18:11:52 UTC  

which is again based on choices
