A liberal Asian American mans take on race, toxic masculinity, and religion.

[HormoneGuy]

I am a Asian American male living in the USA, who was raised by Christian parents.

An Asian Man I Found Online.

I'm half Chinese, and where ever I go, I see or hear about things happening to Asians. Their being beat up in the street for "causing covid," seniors are being shoved to the street, they are getting shot up in their stores. Asians are constantly discriminated against. When they are getting beat up on the street, every one cares. When they get docked on the SAT, no one speaks out.

According to the vox article, Affirmative action Asian discrimination admissions, Asians get a -140 on the SAT. The people leading the race to end Affirmative Action are not whites, African Americans, or latinx. Rather, its Asians. If the government cared so much about the Asians after they got shot up, then why don't they care when Asians can't get into collages because of their race.

Why are Asians never accounted for on statistics even though they make up over 10% of the population in the USA? As an Asian, I notice were only noticed when its convenient to be noticed. Looking at the amount of cases from the DoJ, and the numbers from the USCB, per capita, Asians experience more hate crimes then African Americans, but on the news you normally only hear about the African American cases.

While yes, that is skewed as their are almost twice as many African Americans, it is still very rare to hear about problems Asians are facing compared to what other races are facing.

Asians are only mentioned when its convenient, and Asians need more representation, both in the government, and on the news.

As a male, I consistently see myself grouped as the "average male." What is the "average male?" Someone who only looks out for them selfs, someone who looks at woman as objects, and someone who just wants to push himself forward.

Honestly, I do fall under the last one, where I care about moving forward the most possible, but I don't fall under the other two, and I feel like me and all other males are classed under that.

Not all males fall under this, but sadly they are all categorized the same. Honestly, it is hard to tell the difference at first, but I don't think all men should be categorized under this, as not all of us are like this.

Pushing religion on children.

While I understand that people want to spread their religion, when your at a young age, especially before 10, your very vulnerable to ideas, advertisements, and anything pushed onto them by their parents.

Study's have shown that children learn from watching their parents behaviors, so when you push stuff like religion on a child's brain who's still developing, your going to engrave that idea, sometimes against their will, into their brain.

Because of this, I was forced to be something I just didn't believe in; a christian.

While they have some good values, I don't agree with all of them, and I also don't agree in their belief in Jesus; because of Darwin.

When you push giant stuff like this on children, you force them into it, which can sometimes be destructive to them. For years I would wonder why I didn't fit in, only recently did I realize that it was because I didn't fit in, but because of my parents, I was forced to pretend to fit into something I just didn't agree with.

Thank you for reading my take on race, religion, and masculinity.

So I was just about to post this when I realized I didn't have a picture. I went to duckduckgo, my search engine, to look up an image of an Asian American, and for the first 50, all the people that came up were woman.

While I understand what company's like duckduckgo are trying to do, it annoys me that sometimes as a man, small things like this discriminate AGAINST men.

While it is in no way close to what woman experience, to me personally, it feels like they are trying to discriminate against men; in their quest to boost woman.

Stuff like this makes it a lot harder for a man to identify them selfs. (By the way... how do I add those pictures...)

A stereotype is a default condition but if your academic or moral or social status is high enough, then default conditions do not matter, like a racist girl might reject a Chinese janitor but she is not going to reject a Chinese investment banker, an an obese burger flipper might get rejected but an obese Harvard professor will get respect, you don’t have to worry about baseline variables when you pursue excellence.

Correction: You're 6% of the US population, not 10.
