Do you have wireless internet? Ever heard of Linksys? Linksys was founded by and asian couple... I think they made one or two dollars on it!$$$.. I can think of many huge companies from China, Japan, and South Korea, but I'm at a loss trying to do the same from other asian coutries (and pacific island countries to not leave out the filippinas =).

Living in the bay area, I'm often surrounded by Asians that drive nice cars, have good jobs, and own nice homes. If they aren't earning as much as whites, they sure must be good with their money. I guess I'm bigoted in that I see lots of asians come here dirt poor and work hard to succeed, while tons of white kids raised here **** away their lives and their parents mortgage themselves into bankruptcy.

As far as black janitors go, I don't recall ever seeing one. I have noticed that all of them in my area happen to be hispanic.

 

I strongly argue with what you've just said. Asians outnumber whites in many of the technical programs and are getting the same salaries as whites, at least coming out of schools like Stanford and such. Do you think every white guy gets to be CEO or something? Think about how many white males hit the glass ceiling. If they didn't their would be millions of them!

In Asian companies that operate here, what do you think the chance is of a white guy (or gal) becoming CEO? I could see that happening for a U.S. division (and likewise for foreign divisions from Asian firms).

As a white male, I have competition from peope from all ethnicities, male and female. I work at a HUGE U.S. company, and I usually represent the minority in the room.

One thing that I have noticed, is that many of the NON-whites that are put into hiring-manager positions tend to end up with reporting chains of their own ethnicity, while many of the white managers have been "taught" out of this habit. Somehow, "minorities" seem to be exempt from the rule.

 

You’re right actually... I don't drive a primer-colored integra with coffee can exhaust -or- lowered Escalade on 24's with my music blasting. Profiling has always been an effective tactic used by the cops.

 

Hehehehe...yeah, I have to admit...profiling works, even against us white boys...I got profiled for driving an old beater Landcruiser with missing lights and a missing window...then the cop saw the red eyes...whoops....

 

Isn't it illegal, well atleast in some states? So you think its ok to target a certain races to pull over? Im not talking about the cars, im talking about the races because you are stero typing them. I have a black friend that bought a used lexus for six thousand dollars from the doctor his mom worked for. He didn't do anything to "trick" it out but he got pulled over constantly in Houston and searched for drugs. I can give you plenty of more examples. When you start getting harrased by cops then you might understand what we go through. Till then explain to me how pulling over random miniorities is such a effective tactic?

 

It's the very essence of the so called "struggle" with minorities. If you're in this struggle then how do you make a substantial living to afford the lexus? It's not so much a stereotype because I see it everyday. And btw I grew up in Oak Park, and the Meadowview projects and got out...

Do you ever watch the local news? It's a Black -or- Mexican suspect 80% of the time along with the occasional wacko child molesting white boy. Whose fault is this? It certainly isn't mine. Same type of situation for Muslims... who's fault is it that their religion is misunderstood, belittled and questioned? It's not I. I don’t see Tiger Woods damning complaining about the struggle.. Hell, didn’t he just marry a white girl. Oh let me guess… “he sold out like Colin Powell” because he’s successful, right?

This is the very reason why profiling is done on the streets; it’s an effective tactic. Do you think cops will get more drugs off the streets if they go after the senior citizens -or- the boy wearing the pocket protector? Nope… they’re going to go after the person in the expensive car because it might be stolen , because they match a certain description -or- because you’re wearing fubu and bumping Too Short.

 

A six thousand dollar lexus is not "fancy" did you bother reading how he got it so cheap? So if the table where switched and black and mexicans where the majority you would be ok if cops harrassed you day to day? Because some random guy who was white caused trouble? You would be ok getting randomly pulled over and searched? Come on please, you would be yelling and screaming in a heart beat how the cop had no reason to pull you over. Its ok as long as your not the person harrassed.

You don't get it do you. They are the poor and less educated of this country. They start in life with the worst possible start. Not only that they get harrassed by officials and treated badly by those who are here to protect them. How do you think that effects them? Positively im sure right? You name a few rich people and say well look at TIGER he made it why can't they? Well let me ask you the same question, look at Bill Gates your white why aren't you a multi-billionare and why aren't you laughing it up in the good life? The chances of a poor person to do better in life is a whole lot less than a regular person, especially if your a minority.

Now, you fail to note that profiling is illegal in some states. I think most I forget off hand the stats. The way cops will get more drugs off the street is well impossible. The only way to lessen drug use is through education and since the funding for the poor parts of cities schools is horrible this trend will continue no matter what tactic the cops use. Again put yourself in there shoes before you start saying its ok.

 

Whether or not we are the ones getting harrassed most crimes are commited by certain economic backgrounds. Although I dont find it very convenient that I get harrassed by the sac pd and sheriffs( the highway patrol is probably my own fault) in the ride alongs I've been on guess who we saw when we responded to most calls.

 

It's illegal to do in Cali so...and not just minorities are poor....

 

You need to take a look at the statistics on crime and get back to me on profiling. I've worked with extremely successful black brokers without an education, been taught instructed by black/asian teachers at schools and in the service and watched black athletes. There doesn't seem to be anymore excuse left for "the struggle."

 

Did you happen to overlook my whole entire argument on two post above that statement I made? They get the worst education, are treated badly by authority, worst food, and the list goes on and on. Just because a FEW make it out doesn't mean there is no struggle. Thats like I said, since there are few millionares why aren't you one of them? Its not as simple as you portray it. And crime is porportional to education level correct?

Its not a excuse its the truth. And come back to me when you get harrased unfairly day in and day out. And then tell me your ok with it. Till then I don't think you'll ever understand what they go through.
