As an asian person I sensed this thing coming for a while now. We are always known as the inconvenient minority and the people who are pushing this race based narrative are eventually going to group us in with white people or deal with the inconsistencies of their own false narrative.

Work culture is big. They are a very driven work society. They also still have a bias against foreigners and some places are Japanese only. You won’t find it as much in the cities - Tokyo, Kyoto, etc but will in some of the more rural areas.
Some tourists are overwhelming some areas and behaving badly so it’s giving foreigners a bad image in certain areas.
One definitely needs to learn the cultural norms and avoid being the “gaijin”.

japan is notorious for having one of the most stressful working place in the world, you have to work long hours then have to go to your boss "night drinking" if you want to climb the ladder. Japan also have a "dating problem" as a lot of people are having trouble in their love life, so much so that the government have to step in and create more incentive for people to be more into dating.

Japan's legal system is draconian, they can and will deny you the basic human rights we enjoy here. They can detain you indefinitely for something like shoplifting so most people just confess to the crimes even if they didn't commit them.
Japan isn't xenophobic, but you're going to have a hard time fitting in. It's not that they don't like foreigners, but until you understand their customs you're going to get stares and sneers.
In Japan, 5 years with one company isn't a lot, people join a company after high school and work there for 30-40 years even if the pay is bad. They do not ask for pay raises or threaten to leave for a better paying position. They work overtime regularly and some of them work themselves to death. The workplace is a team activity and you're expected to contribute to the team. This usually means giving up your vacation time and sleeping at the office. They regularly go out after work and you're supposed to go too.
Japan's mental health system is antiquated, people are taught to deal with their feelings. Professional mental help isn't mainstream. Suicide rates are pretty high.
Taxes are I believe the highest in the world. Japan is very expensive. Tokyo and other major cities where expats live are very expensive.

Social constructs > legislation
Smoking cigarettes is widely unpopular with today's youth. Making cigarettes illegal wouldn't stop people from smoking them. But society decided smoking is icky and the knowledge of health issues it causes lead to it. We don't need more laws if we want something to change, we are capable of using our freedom of choice to educate others and minimize acts that harm our society.
In Japan honor is important, to run an honorable life or business is instilled from a young age. Here it's all about me myself and I, and what can you do for me. No where is a utopia but we don't get to utopia by being forced to comply. Maybe the left should pick up that old book they hate so much and learn why Satan was cast out to begin with.

I keep on hearing that to, especially growing up. I'm a first generation immigrant so I never truly understood why I behave like a "white" person especially since the first couple of years are a pretty big culture shock for me. Looking back I think they say we act white because of our willingness to integrate into society and a different culture in order to succeed.

u/fishing_6377 2A & Small Government Nov 12 '21
Asians typically value education, family, and don't commit high rates of crime. These values make Asians successful in the US.
Lack of these values are what prevent other minority groups from success. Asians create a big problem for race baiters who want to blame everything on white people because they don't fit the narrative. Asians prove that it has nothing to do with the color of a persons skin and everything to do with their values and culture.

u/Teary_Oberon Minarchist Nov 12 '21
But if Asians can simply 'act' white and receive all of the privilege's that 'whiteness' brings without at all looking white, then why can't black and Hispanic people also just 'act' white?
If 'whiteness' is suddenly not a physical description of skin color but rather a description of action and belief, then having the privileges of 'whiteness' is entirely by choice and I don't see what is stopping other races from having the same privileges. Obviously skin color isn't stopping Asians so why does it stop black people?

See this is the thing that gets me, as an Asian, about the way liberals treat our race.
First, the world is bigger than America. We're not a minority, we are the majority, and there are more Chinese millionaires than Americans. Not even to consider the Koreans, Japanese, Indians, Vietnamese, Bengalis, Thai, Indonesian, Malay, etc etc.
Second, the experience of most Asian immigrants to America is similar to that of German, Scandinavian, Irish, Italian etc immigrants into America. Leave the old country of your own free will, set up shop in the land of opportunity. That's how every single ethnic group, except for 3, got to America. Native Americans who were here before; African Americans who were sold into slavery; and Mexicans for whom the Southwest of the USA is historically a contiguous part of their cultural nation. But Bengalis and Lebanese and Egyptians and Nigerians who came here of their own free will as immigrants are not fucking oppressed, stop treating me like I am.
Third, what the fuck is this "AAPI" bullshit? It stands for "Asian American Pacific Islander" as though that is some type of cohesive group. What a lack of historical understanding this term betrays! You're telling me that Turk and Kurd and Arab and Persian and Pashtun and Punjabi and Tamil and Sinhalese and Burman and Hmong and Javanese and Vietnamese and Han and Uyghur and Mongol and Korean and Japanese and Siberian and Uzbek and Tibetan are all meaningless distinctions, all rolled up into fucking AAPI? That these cultures, with thousands of years of history, sagas of conflict and conquest and trade and empire, are all to be reduced to to "AAPI" as though they have fucking anything in common? Just because of a couple hundred years of European imperialism, and just because some of us happen to have immigrated to the US?
Give me a conservative who treats me like a human over a liberal who treats me and the rest of the "AAPI community" as a litter of multicoloured puppies who are so oppressed by the big bad white man. No, fuck off.
Oh on another note I watched a comedy bit by some Australian lady about how some people in rural Australia were homophobic. Of course she launches into a tirade against white men. Hello!! "AAPI" men can be homophobic too!! Have you ever met one?! We are not perfect little innocent angels! Stop fucking ignoring our agency! I know you feel bad that your great grandparents were imperialists but newsflash the Europeans were not the only imperialists in history.

Well the turks in history originated from central asia and migrated/conquered their way westward til they defeated the byzantines and settled in the marmara region. Hence why they pretty much share a language with azerbaijan and why turkmenistan is called such. In any case, the complex definition of such terms as "middle east", "asia", "turk" etc only underpin how ludicrous and insulting it is to use terms like "AAPI" or "POC"

Finally gets removed from minority status by leftists because not oppressed enough.

Our education system and media is responsible for this, the formation of these studies coincided with CA and Northeast's aggressive adoption of Affirmative Action.
University Provosts felt obligated to allow these unqualified students to earn titles and department leadership roles that benefited their cause (this is why so many black critical theory educators prefer the title of Dr. in their name even if it's not generally considered normal in the West for a Humanities doctorate)

Um, because that's not the point? Yes there's obviously a bit of jealousy surrounding someone super successful, but it's usually encased in happiness for them doing so well. The other side just sees success that they want to take away from someone.

They go off this worldview that says racism is baked into the system as an explanation of why there are racial disparities in outcomes. But when a POC is able to use the racist system to be successful, it's because they are "complacent in white supremacy" or some other BS. They can't admit that maybe their hypothesis is wrong, so they just double-down on it. They don't even realize that by saying POCs can't benefit from the system, ever, (and any that do are "complacent" or "white aligned"), they are actually being racist themselves.

That’s why we are called CaucAsian.

u/General-Hello-There Dangerous Freedom Nov 12 '21
I know this is a joke but I'd like to add that Caucasian comes from the Caucusus mountains and a now obsolete late 18th century idea that they are the origin of mankind as that's one of the estimated landing points of Noah's Ark. This idea also held that there were three major races: Caucusoid, Mongoloid, and Negroid.

There’s always been the term “non-Asian minorities” (“NAMs”), but maybe we need a new euphemism now as we run on the treadmill. “Students of Color, minus Asian” is more cumbersome and thus funnier.

This is why the "BIPOC" acronym was created. Not only does it subtract Asians, it also excludes white Hispanics.

Clearly this has nothing to do with being a minority, it’s all about power. The stratification continues!

It always amazes me how in the mind of the left you cease being a minority as soon as you are successful.
Why not just focus on helping the poor instead? Oh that’s right they don’t actually care about helping people.

u/OhStugots Conservative Nov 12 '21
If you just helped the poor, disadvantaged white people would recieve aid.
It's better to specifically target race, because it is more important that these benefits go to a non-disadvantaged minority than go to disadvantaged whites.
If, hypothetically, you have a black person who's parents are a lawyer and a senator, aid going to that person would be more beneficial than aid going to Cletus with two methhead parents who make a combined $29,000 a year (as the latter would be benefiting a white person 🤢🤮)

My daughter in law is Nigerian
Nigerian Americans have a higher median household income than whites by about 5%. And that is with them being mostly diversity visas - taxi drivers and the like living on a "middle class" income of 300-600 a month before they come here
I am waiting until they start excluding African immigrants from statistics for blacks all the time.

Does that include Indians (South Asian)? I’d imagine so, but am never really sure if it’s a safe assumption to make that we fall under the “Asian” bucket.

I'm relatively centrist (on average), but CaucAsian discrimination as resulting by liberal college policies is just stupid. When applying to college, I've literally been told "don't say you're doing stereotypically asian activities!"

Welcome to the group, the group that its perfectly acceptable for other races to hate and have people of other races say they want to eliminate white from the planet. We'd give you your toaster for your membership, but they don't make them yet with only white settings of darkness/s

I mean, north indians are pretty pale. South indians are dark skinned, but not north indians. And Hindi is the north indian language.

Yes, and that is why the North Indians have common ancestry with Europeans. North Indians speak Hindi, south indians have a dozen different languages

I think this is a great merger that will ultimately be beneficial for both of us. To any Asians here, I'm pleased with this new partnership and look forward to meeting some of you at the next shareholders meeting.
Also, if you can let us know who the lead rooftop Korean is, I'd like to nominate him for the position of CIO.
