Current Events > it feels really vile to be regarded as 'allies' for white supremacy you know

(+) Yeah! (+)

just knowing that white supremacists often view asians as "allies" in their so-called "plight" is so sickening

it makes me feel disgusted but also ashamed that asian americans did not stand up strong enough to be seen as the allies of other minorities instead

that's why we gotta do better

i imagine it's not as bad as actually being the target of their hate, but knowing they would just assume i'm on their side is disgusting

A likely story, but I will accept it for now.

I don't think white nationalists view Asians as allies.

The Alt-Right with the anime sigs and avatars are pretty confusing tho.

Remember Elliot Roger or whatever, the turbovirgin who was mad about being a turbovirgin and shot people

He specifically mentions about how asians are white allies and stuff
I mean it was one thing in the last few years... but this kind of language is present in a lot of white supremacy talk

I've seen/heard white supremacists unironically complain about "Asian Privilege"
---

They don't see asians as allies, but puppets to be taken advantage of due to some inferiority complex, especially from the females.

I was probably specifically thinking of the Rodger's manifesto when I made this topic

Maybe it has to do with the German/Japanese alliance thing in WWII.

no lie a racist uber driver once said to me "you're asian so you get it"

he was talking about out of wedlock pregnancies and certain minorities, see

I reported him to uber and didn't thank him for the ride
what a piece of shit

idk if African people are seen as different, but when people find out that I'm not "African-American", they say weird, racist stuff to me, too, about culture and values, and stuff.

Bro at work our employees are mostly Black Americans and East/Northern African immigrants
They do NOT get along

This is one of those moments where we're talking about the non-American brand of racism.

And you'd be surprised by what people say when they think you're cool with their racist remarks.

You think white supremacists think Asian Americans are their allies? I've seen other groups claim Asians are privileged as the "model minority," but it wasn't said as a compliment. There are several CEmen (they'll remain nameless) who get mad when Asians start asking for help from other minorities, saying Asians should make their own social movements and not attach themselves to the non-Asian ones. It wasn't whites saying that, if I'm being too unclear.

yea, I've been used as a soundingboard to critique black Americans many times.

I was born in the US, though, so I've never had any problems.

The whole "model minority" idea was created to cause rifts between minority populations and foster resentment within minority populations adjacent to Asian neighborhoods

It used to be that Asians were regarded the same as all other non-whites - considered less intelligent, savage, etc
Then suddenly around the late 19th century the language changes, you notice they're praising Asians, especially in comparison to black populations. This pervaded our culture, etc

If you wanna see a classic scene depicting asian-black relations, just watch the convenience store scenes from Do The Right Thing

Everyone who parrots "model minority" is accepting a racist and divisive paradigm

This. Fuckers keep saying they represent me and my culture.
---

You know honestly I hadn't really given thought about that

This might sound odd but it's a little refreshing to see and hear that white people are actually disgusted that they're being associated with this

It's like a glimpse into the world of the black man who looks like another criminal or an Asian man who has to deal with "aren't you related to Y person" constantly
