And they seem to have an inside track on that Nobel Prize. I read the other day that Jews make up less than half of 1% of the worlds population but they have won 23% of the Nobel Prizes....I am sure this has to do with the fact that they control the media, banks, missile defense, all major league sports, the bagel industry and, don't forget, they killed Jesus!!!!!
(Please note: the Nobel Prize part is actually true. Quite amazing really. I am married to a Jew and as far as I know she hasn't even been nominated yet!
) Look at how wimpy Asians are:

haha good one , and teach them to say " excuse me " and walk without dragging their feet , you can always tell an asian is walking behind you by the sounds of dragging steps .james t kirk said:
notice Asians are the only race that can be picked on, no one dares speaks ill of southeast asians and blacks who are the second largest minority group in Toronto .

PS - Escohort, words cannot express how strongly I approve of your sig pic/avatar.
This is such a blanket statement ! ... it seems it's OK to use the almighty big brush as long as it's positive huh ?Escohort said:
You obviously never met one of my ex gfs AKA two faced red demon woman : )
Actually most Asians can't drink much alcohol due to isoenzyme or ADH deficiency ( my simplified understanding )
How exactly is it "true" in a sense that the implication is that Asians spit and pick their nose more frequently in public ? ... seriously, WTF ... my reaction was to laugh, because immediately a myriad of images depicting Caucasians spitting and picking their noses raced through my head.james t kirk said:
With reference to the driving comment, which there is some truth to, it does not apply to all Asians and I find them on the whole to be very conscientious drivers.
As for "teaching them to chew with their mouths closed and not sitting with their face in the bowl", I know you tried to counteract it with an acknowledgment of stereotyping and it's hard to know your intent, but such comments perpetuate harmful racism.
What we call "manners" is just a form of repression.
There is no such thing as a non racist.Escohort said:
A half Asian friend of mine once called me racist for saying something to the effect of "Chinese people are bad drivers". Once I removed my hand from his neck (it's a love hate thing) he explained to me that he took offense because I implied all Asians are bad drivers. I insisted that he was nit-picking and should know what I meant in knowing me. Up untill that point most people said I'm one of the least racist people they have met. Then why did I react with such hostility. Because, I do have racism in me and that incident was a turning point in my awareness.
Funnily enough some of my racism stemmed from racism and prejudice towards myself from other races/groups and of course irrational resentment toward individuals.
OK, so do I now have to walk on egg shells around him. No, but if I don't want to offend him, then I need to be more careful in my wording to express how I truly feel. It's not about being "politically correct", but genuine respect for others feelings.
This is the most ignorant thread I've ever read.
I live right downtown near chinatown and any rudeness I've ever encountered would be from caucasians.
What about pan handlers? I've NEVER in 30 years been approached by an asian panhandler.
As for bad driving, poor table manners, picking noses and spitting.
Again I see people spitting on the streets and usually its caucasian male teens.
As for poor driving.... when I drive past the scene of an accident and I drive all over the GTA every day its rarely an asian involved.
Poor table manners I can't comment I've never been turned off by having a meal with asian friends. Also, you have to consider that immigrants come with the manners and what is acceptable in their country.... part of the immigration process doesn't involve a course in etiquette. Maybe you should take the time to explain the "rules" before penalizing people for it.
Unless you are native american you are an immigrant to this country at one time or another. So the only thing you have done is come here first or popped out of your mom on Canadian soil.
Now if you are going to throw around stereotypes then how about some positive ones like generally asians believe in hard work and good educations. Take a look at who is often at the head of the class. Also, in terms of crime I'd say that asians are responsible for the least amount of crime. Finally, from a financial standpoint many asians who immigrate here are very well off. For example Don Valley Toyota/Lexus is one of the best selling dealerships in Toronto because a lot of its clientelle are asians who outright buy the cars on the spot with cash (okay cheques rather than loans). North York and Richmond Hill also has a lot of asians living there and real estate is not cheap there. Oh yeah and what about all of the contributions asians have made to the world (e.g. being the forerunners in science and technology, producing quality cars, martial arts, foods (where did pasta come from), what we call alternative medicines). From a historical point of view a lot of asians lots their lives slaving away building the canadian railway which was crucial for forming the infrastructure of this country..... so chances are there are many asians who can claim to be more canadian than some so called caucasian canadians.
Finally, if we're so big on the right to free speech what about the right to live without persecusion? Furthermore, the right to live without persecusion precedes the right to free speech. Thus people like Ernst Zundel can't go around spewing his crap and hiding behind free speech.

One more thing everyone has some racism in them. Whether you say racist things or not is not the measure of whether you are racist. To me a racist can be someone who thinks certain things even if they don't say it. But more importantly actions speak louder than words and if you act out in ways that project predjuidice that is the worst.
To think the the country or city is going down because certain populations is ridiculous. If someone could show evidence the the decline of this city is directly related to the increase in asian population I'll eat my words but till that day we need to move on to more important things.
Sorry for this rant but to me racism is one of the most dispicable things in the world because it is based primarily on ignorance and blindly following things that you have been told.
