Get shit on for a few generations, work hard as fuck and build half of the Trans-Continental railroad, become a valued member of American society.

Except the Japanese for a couple years, but they're cool now.

They have the lowest crime rates in the whole fucking country you know.

Americans everyone!

Almost Jew-tier high incomes and low as fuck crimerates.

In comparison the niggers got freed in the 1860s and they're still just as shitty as back then, if not even more.

Chinese exclusion act only ended in 1945.

Oh and Chinese Americans are still treated like shit to this day.

Hmong and Mongol Americans have the lowest income per capita in America.

That was just an immigration law. Do you even know why is was passed?

Yeah, pretty much.

If not that, then what does?
>>
>>343855
>That was just an immigration law. Do you even know why is was passed?

Did you know that despite Americans being racist against people of all races and ethncities, Chinese were the only ethnicity to be ever banned from American soil?

The white American government absolutely loathed blacks. And yet African immigrants were allowed. They fucking hated Germans during the war era. And yet droves of Germans came.
>>
>>343844
>Americans don't acknowledge the existence of more than 3 races

Are you even aware of the decades of fucking hatred the Irish faced when they came here? The Italians got some of that too.

Hell, we used to use words like mulatto and quadroon to describe the various flavors of what today we just call "black people". It sucks major ass that we've lost our racial awareness in favor of fucking blinders.

America absolutely hates Asians and Yellow Peril has been a constant fear for nearly two centuries, and Asian Americans are regularly persecuted even now. American society actively subdues and controls Asian population and social mobility.

Well they were persecuted by blacks, and are to some degree.

Pic related LA riots.
>>
>>343881
What you say and what the other person say doesn't contradict each other. The early chinese were brought in as laborers/coolies.Yellow Peril happened (they teek ur jerbs). Opium War happened. The attitude changed from "mellow yellow people" to "rapist yellow people".

They banned entry of all new Chinese to US.

Affirmative action works against Asian students

Asians are routinely arrested on suspicion of spying

Oh and general racism and negative portrayal in the media

Did you know chink doesn't carry the same level offence as n*gger?
>>
>>346336
BASED gooks. I say this as a chink desu
>>
>>346173
Not really persecutions, but here are things to note that wouldn't really fly to most rational people.

Race quotas in colleges/universities. They help all other minorities, but hurt the Asians due to them being more successful. States(california) without quota have the asian american demographics much higher.

Exclusion from many graphs/statistics due to political bias. However, they make up about 6% of US population so theres some reason for that.

Invisibility in mainstream media (except as comedy relief, sexual relief, kungfu relief).

Racism from blacks/latinos due to success attained by asian americans. However blacks/latins can't be racists in US. So nothing happens.

>http://www.ibtimes.com/asian-american-students-are-targeted-bullies-364068
>half of Asian-american students are bullied in schools

General casual racism is pretty common in US against Asian Americans. Things that would fly with asians wouldn't fly with blacks or latins.

Asian Americans are considered model minorities, but that comes at a cost.

Neither does Honkey but, I'm not crying to sleep over it when someone calls me one.

And grow the fuck up if you're going to use the word spell it out.
>>
>>346424
Read up on white privilege

Chinese coolies were treated worse than black slaves even after slavery was officially abolished in America

It's not the same thing as being called honkey.

>And grow the fuck up if you're going to use the word spell it out.

Actually typing the word is a bannable offence on 4chan (outside of /b/ and /pol/). I have been banned hundreds of times for using the word n*gger on boards other than /b/ or /pol/

uh, so how about that history of asian americans? when did people from asia first begin immigrating to the u.s., and from what nations? where did they settle?
>>

oh shit nigger, you used that word again.

The point is that words are only as powerful if you give the person saying any credibility, or you give them meaning.

Only SJW's think that words will actually hurt you, when smart people learn to fucking ignore them.

And no Nigger is not a bannable offense considering How I often I use it when describing donks on /o/

The first Asians in America were Chinese sailors coming here from Spanish ship during the 1600s
>>
>>346486
The first asians were native americans 15,000 years ago. Followed by couple more waves of migration to the Americas.

American Asians who complain about not being able to get into Berkeley because Hong Xingping and his 500-some buttbuddies from backwoods Guangdong filled up all the spots should be shot. Git gud, nerds.

Blacks hate Asians because they think they did all the work during the Civil Rights Movement but only Asians are reaping the rewards. They also hate how Asians can move up in society seemingly much more easily than they can although we are both colored.
>>
>>346486
>when did people from asia first begin immigrating to the u.s., and from what nations? where did they settle?

There were a few waves of Asians, notably the Chinese during the "wild west" years, who came here to mine gold but ended up building railroads. They wound up mostly in California and set up local communities that would eventually grow into Chinatowns.

Japanese people came here in the late 1800s and early 1900s, and a lot of them became agricultural people. There's even a word for them in Japanese. Issei are Japanese who came to the US, and Nisei are their children who were born in the U.S. A lot of Nisei ended up joining the US Army to fight Nazis actually. They too ended up in California a lot, but to my knowledge spread out a bit more than the Chinese did.

Vietnamese people came after the VIetnam war of course, and the refugee services put them around the country. There's prevalent Vietnamese populations in California, Chicago, Houston and Virginia.

A few times during this, the US passed immigration blocking acts to keep Asians out. Actually they had to define what as "white", so they could prevent non-white (asian) immigration.

Top cvk lads. Asian-Amerikuks get shit upon both white and black because they don't have the ball to resist. Only the Korean in LA do something about it, the rest sit on their thumb stupidly believing white people would protect them.

In U.K when the dindu rioted couple year back, the Shikh band together in their temple, in the U.S you'll never hear of Indians or Chink banding together to protect their society.

And you guys are asking why Asian-American keep getting shit upon other races? Topkvk

If niggers got discriminated by Harvard you can bet they'll torch the campus down, but what has Asian-American do? Nothing.

If niggers got insulted in the media or portrayed as kvk, they'll riot on the street, what do Asian-American do? Nothing.

You are inferior spineless races.

The whole model minority thing is nothing more than bullshit. It's a fucking fairy tale concocted by the elites to create a red herring that will drive a wedge between asians and blacks, and prevent them from uniting against their real enemy. It's fucking classic divide and conquer strategy.

Poor Asian Americans exist that aren't recent immigrants.

Thank you for saying absolutely nothing

Shows what you fucking know. The FBI history is full of operations that are meant to actively suppress minority groups in the country and prevent them from gaining political power, one of the organizations first activity was to suppress the black nationalism movement
>>
>>347918
>>Implying identity politics doesn't permeate heavily through social and political thought
Nope. I was laughing that you'd conflate swallowing an obvious diversionary divisive tactic of class rule hook, line and sinker with rising above misinformation/conditioning and facing "the real enemy."

>government plants in radical political groups are necessarily active attempts to suppress racial minorities whenever the group is race based, even though non-race based groups are infiltrated all the time in the same way
ok

They also suppressed Nazis, etc.

>>348569

Class and race warfare is real thing, it permeates heavily in society as does identity politics because people do associate and segregate themselves into different groups. More often enough historically one of the smaller groups rise above the rest. This ruling class realizes that even though they wield considerable temporal powers, their positions are fragile at best. They often use diversionary tactics like bread and circus, amplifying class and racial divisions to distract the population.

This is the reality of American society. If you have a problem with tribalism then you seriously need to reevaluate your definition of society.
>>
>>350361

>They also suppressed Nazis, etc.

Oh you mean how they largely turn a blind eye to white-power movements and domestic terrorist cells so long as they target minorities. All the while dismantling minority rights movements even the peaceful community strengthening ones.

>Too bad we cant just separate.

Give it a couple of decades. The US has always suffered from separatism since its independence and since the economy has tanked with little signs of recovery, there are fewer people who are able to participate in the consumerist culture at a high level of activity. Consumerism is extremely important for the survival of modern democracies, because by manipulating the desires and needs of the population states are able to sedate fringe and radical ideas within their respective societies. The rise of domestic terrorism and separatist movements in the US are a symptom of the current economic crisis.
