ok...i got some questions...why do i see a ton of people in this guild talking about racism? i mean why are asians so interested racism? Why do most people care that other random people give them weird looks on the street and immediately think that it's racism?

I don't see much topics about racism in this guild...
Or of people really having problems with racism...
Sure it comes up once in a while...
But mostly Asians have a problem with all the stereotyping...
I guess lots of Asians make a big deal about racism...
Because racism really is a big deal!...
If it doesn't bother you then that's great!...
But it still bothers many others...
And...
The thing about people looking at you funny...
Heh that's weird >.<...
Maybe people are just paranoid like that...
People could just feel really uncomfortable with random people staring at them...
I personally love the attention of people staring at me weird...
xD...

There are people in this world that never seem to look/think when they come to view this guild...
They judge people like a books' cover, you know what I mean...
When they see a guild with only one kind of race they think of stupid things and it comes to racism...
Its odd that people give you looks but don't let it bother you, I get those looks but w.e. what are they going to do.? Stare me to death.?
Pshh...Then I say Lets have a staring contest then. >D

Haha.xD I like your last line, it made me laugh. xD Plus.! What you say is true. Very.

EDIT--- >
Plus why are we bring up racist forums all of a sudden...?

It's not the stares that people hate, heck I know I get stared at a lot because of the way I carry myself. It's not the stares, it's the stupid questions, the automatic stereotyping, and the overall ignorance that gets to people.

Yes, there have been a few threads about racism, but I think any ethnic group has conversed it whether amongst each other or with other people.

I haven't really read any accounts where people have complained about others staring but I know a lot of people here hate stereotyping which goes hand in hand with racism.

Lol yeah I guess so. I have had friends that call other people racist (even other asians) simply for doing something stupid or mean.

But seriously, I don't see a lot of people talking about racism in this guild and I don't think that asians are that prejudiced (sorry if that's not a word) upon. I do think that there are some times that asians are made fun of more so that other races to their face, such as in the situation in which a friend was directly insulted because a frat boy thought it was funny to talk about FOBs.

Why are you guys so uptight about racism. I see to it as jokes. YOU JUST HAVE TO STOP TAKING IT THE WRONG WAY!!! I mean all the hispanics called asians chinos and ppls are pissed off and this stupid ppl just go up to u and say your eyes are so small how r u going to drive with that. U just have to see to it as a joke. I usually say "than why is it that hispanics are the ones that have more accidents than we do, no wait than everybody". No offence to the hispanics, i mean most of my friends r hispanics and their cool.

If somebody Makes a insulting comment about me because I am asian then I feel offended. You cant JUST take that as a joke .. There is a difference between a joke and an insult. Poeple who makes that kind of insult to me ill confront it with him/her. Mostly they dont talk back then when I confront them.

Stereotyping. It gets to me sometimes, it's like I need a sign over my head that tells people I'm no good at Math, I'm not sleep walking, and that chingchangchong is NOT something I would say.

If you confront them and they talk back your screwed and their goin to make it worser. It depends on the type of person your confronting. You just respect them and they respect you (except those retarded ones). Its
better to make them your friend (if possible) then have more enemies.
Mostly their hispanics and when you get them mad, its like half the whole school's aganist you. I just try to make friends with them and if it's not possible then the ppl will hate that person and think of you as their own. Get it?
