		<description>I came across this post digging around the Internet for articles on bigotry. Nice piece. I am hesitant however to put the burden of social equity solely on Asian Americans and immigrants. It&#039;s just not an issue of how Asians view blacks. It is also an issue of how blacks view Asians. No matter what there has to be dialogue. The school leadership was negligent in not addressing the issue head on and perhaps in fanning the flames with their own bias.  

First impressions are tricky and often taken out of context. It&#039;s necessary to gather a whole bunch of impressions on a broad range of days before making your mind up about someone.</description>

		<description>heheh.  if people were really smart, they would realize the obvious.  

blacks as in this incident may find asians an easier target.  let&#039;s face it, it&#039;s still a white predominant nation where whites are on the top of the heirarchy.

it&#039;s like the father who feels small in the world and feels better by beating up on his kids etc.

most african-americans see asians as third class citizens while they are second class and whites are first class.  the excuse that some asians come across snotty is just that, an empty excuse because many people are snotty regardless of race.  i rarely meet asians that are that snotty to nonasians in america simply because they are more well-mannered or well aware they are living in a country of different races and immigrants.  i just don&#039;t buy this excuse at all.

it&#039;s just that people are instinctive and know what is more an easy or vulnerable target.  slimy and cowardly but that&#039;s what most people are llike.</description>

		<description>i find it incredulous anyone is incredulous it was blacks or whatever.

of course there is racism and there always will be.  you can&#039;t legislate people&#039;s hearts or minds.  you can just create laws where most people abide by them.

despite that, people find ways to be racist in passive-aggressive and overt ways and get away with it by either slurs, being honest with like company, behind closed doors etc.

as for the impression of blacks, many african-americans ARE loud, obnoxious and rowdy and it&#039;s not just from the media.  many are ghettoish in behavior. you not need to turn on the tube to witness it.

that said, there are many who are racists.  how they choose to reveal it or reveal it at all is another matter.

so many blind people in this world. they are very shallow to not realize all this about humans.</description>
