Good post !!!
Lucifer, you have stated some really interesting points which are once again, controvertial. But I love controversy ... haha
Well, here is my response:
You are totally correct when you say that men are more willing to have sex, have a relationship with a women outside of their own race then women are. Many statistical studies have shown this. Nonetheless, like all stats. studies, we ought to look at the methodology on how the results came about. Nonetheless, regardless of methodology, I assume the findings to be correct because the results have been proven over and over again. So you are totally correct on that one.
Being a visible minority in a land founded by Whites/Europeans, I would have to say yes, I have to work harder then the White guy who is sitting next to me to achieve the same goals. And that of course includes dating. I mean yeah, North America is the "New World" and everyone has the right to be here because in essence we are all immigrants, even the Natives who came over from Asia. But this place was not really a "country" until the Whites came over. So in a way, it's a "White" country with a rich European, especially British and French roots. And yes, there was a time in our history that people like me were not allowed to come here unless we had money. And of course we were not allowed to vote and shit ... and got paid less then the White dude doing the same job etc. etc.
But as time passes by, the mentality of "the ruling class" has changed which are being reflected in immigration and cultural policies. I guess since the 1960's everyone was "welcomed" to come as long as they met the immigration requirements.
Immigrants were allowed to do anything the White man could do etc. etc. However, immigrants, or I should say, people of color are still very much excluded from the ruling class in both Canada and America. Yeah, we are welcomed here and are allowed to set up businessed and make money, but when it comes to governance, colored people are excluded. If you want some evidence, just look at the government and political parties. Just look at the Metro police force on who holds the highest positions.
Now, pause the above paragraphs for a sec and let me say the following:
If colored people are already excluded from the ruling class and prominant positions, these things will be reflected in the media and society. And because media is so influential, people will already have a mentality in thinking that Whites are "better" then the colored people because they just can't make it to those positions. I mean yeah, there many colored people who are increibly rich, but money does not really give you the "status" in terms of having the ability to do things, especially setting policies on how to run a country. Furthermore, like you said, many Blacks and even Chinese are ashamed of what their ancestors did such as slaves and laundrymen respectively. So as a consequence, these Blacks and Chinese who are ashamed of themselves try to be "White" and abandon their own heritage and as a result, their dating patterns will follow suite. It's like "Yeah, my great grandfather was a slave/laundrymen, but now I am fucking a White girl so I am "fucking up" (as you say) ...
But as for me, I am glad and happy to be an immigrant. When our family first came we had nothing and now we live quite a comfortable life. I am not ashamed of what the Chinese of the previous generation have done to make a living. In fact, I am proud to see that Chinese and Blacks have progrssed in North American society; from slaves and laundrymen to doctors, surgeons, teachers and profs. I don't know what they are ashamed of ...
Just to bring in a movie; Gangs of New York. The selling point about that movie was that "America was born on the streets". However, I look at it a different way. America was born/built by immigrants. And that "Bill the butcher" guy is an idiot calling himself a "Native". He hated the Irish, but guess what? John F. Kennedy was Irish. Yeah, them Irish dudes are easier for them to get ahead because of skin color and their Anglo last names compared to Asians and non-Anglo people, but they are immigrants just like everyone else. If Irish can make it, so can other immigrants make it in the New World ...
But then, sometimes, it is ourselves (immigrants) to blame because we don't involve ourselves in the decision making process which influences policies. Immigrants tend to just start up businesses and make money and hence some people don't like them. But, I can tell you that its not because immigrants are leeches or parasites who are only interested in making money, its just that they don't know how to go about it. Furthermore, many immigrants are not aware of the political issues which may or may not affect them personally.
End of part one.
