Did you ask yourself why it’s completely normal/accepted and encouraged in Asian communities as well?

You know when people ask me if East Asians are racist towards black people, I usually have to preface it with there is a sliding scale of racism toward African Americans.

  1. Highest level of racism: enslaving an entire race of people creating a multinational industry to capture, transport them from africa and sell them in the Americas. From the 16th to the 19th century.

  2. Murdering people and using threats or violence to perpetuate a system of race based authority and rule. Jim Crowe south from the end of the civil war until the 1970s.

  3. Systemically denying a race of people civil rights and implementing second class citizenship supported by the government. Same as #2, but arguably a significant issue up until the early 1990s and lingering to this day.

  4. Individual cases of racist violence not supported by the govt. 2009 Charleston mass shooting.

  5. Being mean or something less than perfectly fair to someone because of their race. Not wanting someone to marry your daughter because he's black.

There might be some of 5) going on amongst East Asians, but not 1-4.

I mean in all fairness the majority of non-black people on earth would probably not prefer their daughter marry a black man.

I think a lot of white people in America today have trouble admitting that to themselves. To include people who voted for Obama.

Sheesh, you must be the family disappointment if you honestly that was clever, it probably took you a solid hour to come up with that. Typical …….
