^ I will save my opinions for later (still reading it)

What do you all think??

One thing I can think of on a major scale not too long ago was during the
L.A riots of 1992...

Where a lot of Korean merchants were looted and random Asians on the streets were targets for vicious assaults and attacks.

These incidents happened mostly in poor pockets of Los Angeles where the residences where mostly lower income Blacks or Hispanics who blamed their economic troubles on Korean merchants (though random Asians of ANY ethnicity were targetted, due to the fact the perpetrators couldn't tell the difference)

Interesting argue.. gotta read more!

Seriously what BS. White people love Asians. Look how many of them have married asian girls.

And hookers with pimps make more money than those without, and are safer as well.

What actually inspired me to post this thread was a comment by badmouth bully from a previous thread of mines titled "How Do You All Feel About This" on page 4.

My whole point is, even if this is the case it doesn't always make it easier for Asians.

Once you are considered to "have it better and easier" than everybody else, wouldn't this make it easier for you and people like you to be the scapegoat for other people's downfalls??
