Who is more racist, Asians or white people?

[Anonymous]

My vote is Asians, especially old world immimigrants. White people are bad with it but Asians, their racism in today's world is unparalled. I've SEEN and heard of Asian mothers crying their fucking eyes out because their son/daughter is dating a black person. And these black people were colleged educated, career driven people.

And I'm talking about American white people and American Asians to specify. But yes mainland Asians are also extremely racist.

[kaylaS91]

I can't really comment on either race being more racist than the other.
If you compare Asians, more of whom have grown up in Asia with more conservative views on the world including different races, it may seem like Asians would take the cake. However, it's unfair to compare those kinds of Asians to white people as in white people living in North America. Most of whom have been raised with rather liberal, at least racially speaking, views on the world. So you're comparing apples & oranges there.

If you compare Asians who grew up in the suburbs of China, Vietnam, etc., compare those to white people who grew up in suburban Europe, such as Poland, Belgium, Ukraine, etc.. From my experience in places like that, as well as my own family, let me tell you that there is LOTS of racism there, too. Lots of 'preserve your own race' kind of attitudes. Some people who have actually said that to my face, after finding out that my boyfriend is Asian.

Speaking of which, from what I've encountered with his family and just being around lots of Asians while with him, they really don't seem that racist at all. We experienced more issues or negative reactions when my family/friends found out we were dating than from his side. He has told me that his parents are 100% cool with him dating a white girl, or girl from most other races aside from black girls. I'm not really sure why but that seems to be a view held by east as well as south Asians.
Comparing racism in Asian vs. white communities though is not the most fair comparison though.

[Asker]

I'm specifically talking about Asians families that immigrated to the US decades ago and are still racist.

[kaylaS91]

oh ok you should have specified. I've never encountered such a family though, in all the ones I've met which is a lot.

[Asker]

I did say old world immigrants. And you're white, Asians worship your kind, of course you wouldn't notice it.

[kaylaS91]

... you sound pretty backwards yourself. I didn't realize that my being white would make me blind to seeing racism.

[Asker]

I'm not saying that it would. I'm saying Asians are much less likely to be racist toward white people because for example, in Asian culture it's considered "marrying up" if you marry a white person. If you you were black however or dark ethnicity, I'm sure your experiences would have been completely different. Surely you can understand that?

[Asker]

*or another

[kaylaS91]

ok I suppose. I don't know why but that's essentially what I said in my opinion. Some Asians have a preference towards whites. I wouldn't say it's racist to not want to date black/brown people. You're just assuming that's because they find 'darker' people to be inferior.

[Asker]

Wow. I just read through your first post and YES, you are completely blind. He said it to your face and you're completely and unequivocally oblivious to it, "his parents are 100% cool with him dating a white girl, or girl from most other races ASIDE FROM BLACK GIRLS. I'm not really sure why but that seems to be a view held by east as well as south Asians". Or maybe you just don't want to see it. If it's a view held by most of the people (which you said yourself), of course they see black people as inferior.

[kaylaS91]

alright then. At least I'm not illiterate. If you're going to try to argue a point, at least read ALL my posts before having an embarrassing little bitchfit eh?
(assumptions made by simple-minded creatures by yourself don't count as grounds to support your argument. Nice try though.)

[Asker]

"Bitchfit"? Lol, what are you talking about? I can see this is just going to devolve into you attacking me because you have no intellectual argument against what I'm saying so let's just leave it at that. And while a person not be a perpetrator of typical racism/prejudice, yes, not wanting to date black/brown people is unconscious racism, which you can't really blame someone for, providing it isn't actual bigotry. It's funny though that a person can say they won't date black/brown people as if they've seen & met every black/brown from the billions around the world, yea' that's not racist...

[kaylaS91]

I don't really know how to reply because your argument makes so little sense.
You're aware there is a difference between having a racial preference and being racist, yes?

[Asker]

Lol. I'm done with you, you must be mentally special. Having a RACIAL PREFERENCE is what exactly what racism is. So by your logic Hitler wasn't racist then, right?

[kaylaS91]

are you seriously fucking comparing having a racial preference to Hitler? To the fucking holocaust? Because my preferring Asian people over white is comparable to the murder of millions of innocent Jews?
You're a fucking nutshow. Go back to elementary please, after you pull the stick out of your ass.

Having lived in China, definitely Asians. Seen them straight out reject people because they were black, and said they don't want ugly people at their club. Taxis not stopping for any foreigners at all and just pick up Chinese people...😅 They also have the tendency to laugh and point at foreign people thinking they are fat (when they really are not). Dating a foreign person is totally UNACCEPTABLE and a disgrace.
Also for job offers they usually put in the description "Need of foreigners - Only white people please." Seen it way too many times I've lost count.
Some also make out foreign people to be incredibly dumb. And they love to make that very clear. Bitch please. 😒
I think Chinese people are pretty much more straight forward and vocal about it. Asians/Chinese do generally point out what most western people think to be too honest. They can say with no problem at all: you're too dark, you're too ugly, too fat, nose is too big. It's just generally in their culture.

[Asker]

All western people think black people are too dark, ugly and have big noses? What the fuck is going on in Sweden?

[Asker]

Sounds like some fucked up shit over there.

[Rainie_]

Ummm... Im talking about my experience when I lived in China? What are you talking about?

[Asker]

You said, Chinese people say what western people think.

[Rainie_]

I never said that... I said western people think Chinese people are too honest - as in what Chinese people think/their thoughts, not what other people think... tf. And when I say western Im not talking about white people, Im talking about the west world, Europeans, Americans, be it white or black or whatever they are.

[Rainie_]

Don't put words into my mouth...

[Asker]

Ah, I read that wrong. Apologies.

[KostasKouvalis]

There's this notion that Asian people see Whites as being on the same level as them, and while it's true they might respect Whites more than other races, White people are just as vulnerable to the Asian supremacy mentality. Even if you're White, they will still treat you worse than other Asians. I can tell you from personal experience that Whites are just as susceptible to racist treatment (or as they and the White haters call it "being cautious"), as other races.
The only example I can think of for the statement you mentioned, is the teaching department. Asian schools in general prefer White English teachers even over American born Asians, because they think that Whites speak better English.
I've noticed that Asian people very easily buy into racial/cultural stereotypes. And the Chinese government straight up admitted they're a racist country, and they don't see this as a bad thing.

[KostasKouvalis]

I think this guy on Quora summed it up perfectly...

"It's true, that Asians love to buy into the model minority. They are very constantly money, status and power hungry because it will put them up there with Whites and some even want to go above White people.

They love to support the “good stereotypes”: being the smartest people ever, being the most powerful race on the planet, acting like the best thing since slice bread. This constantly supporting of these stereotypes and the model minority by the Asian community in turn makes them extremely racist and look down on every other race besides White people, because White people are already at the top.

This is not mistaken identity as another answer claims, it's pure racism. There's a way to be good at something while not looking down on others or certain racial groups. Example: Blacks are good at sports but they don't look down on others for not being good at it. Asians are good at math but they look down on any other people who aren't good at it and even disown those of their own race who aren't good at it.

Asian people, please stop all this bullshit and confront your guys created racism. Everyone is sick of it. We know Asians don't like to be confrontational, even with their own problems. It's time you guys face this and try to get rid of it or else you guys will forever be viewed /be racist."

Again, the only thing I disagree with is that they see themselves on the same level as Whites, and that they like to avoid confrontation. Asians can get really "defensive" if you challenge their notion of Asian supremacy. I've noticed a lot of Asian people are extremely hypocritical when it comes to race. They hate racism when it's directed towards them, but are perfectly fine with it when it's directed towards someone else as it reinforces their notion of Asian supremacy. I think they are so brainwashed that they genuinely can't understand how someone could hate them.

[ElissaDido]

I think that any community that lives in a shell and is isolated would express racism, regardless of the "race", on the other hand, if you live in a diverse city or society , you are less bound to be racist. People usually fear the unknown and that's what creates Racism. If you take a redneck American and an Asian living in California I think there are more chances the American would be more racist. If you take an educated American who lives NY he's less likely to be racist than a Chinese old lady who live in a village.

[Asker]

No, honestly, I'd think that the Asian living in California (where I live) and the white hillbilly where probably equally racist. You look like you could be West Asian (Middle Eastern), and they are also some of the most racist motherfuckers out there too. There's a bunch of them in California and they are exceptionally prejudice, not to mention Islam says black people are not equal and are slaves.

[ElissaDido]

Maybe I dont know, maybe they're racist when it comes to marriage..
I'm not Middle Eastern I'm North African
And this is completely false, :o the fist caller to prayer in Islam was Bilal and he was black. If it said that Blacks were slaves there wouldn't be so many African American converts to Islam such as Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali, Germaine Jackson and Karim Abdul Jabbar... (etc)
ibntaymiya330.files.wordpress.com/.../...islam.jpg

[Asker]

Look I'm not trying to start problems but look at the age of everyone you were able to list, they all come from a time when blacks were converting to Islam was an in thing to do, which mostly started as a way for activists just to rebel against the white American Christians. But black Muslims are not equal to Maghreb Muslims, in France the North African men in Muslim communities are disowning their sisters and cousins because they are dating black guys, even though the black guys are Muslim. I'm sure if you dated a black guy, you're family wouldn't be too happy, be honest with yourself.

[Kuraj]

Probably Asians.
But after decades of occupation, napalm, nuclear and dioxin bombings I wouldn't be surprised if they grew at least a little wary of the westerners.

[Asker]

They hate black people the most. Black people didn't do any of that to them, white people did and Asians worship the ground white people walk on, they consider marrying white people to be "marrying up".

[Yanoa_Yanza]

I can't vote on race. There's racism in every race :/

[Asker]

Obviously there's racist in all segments of the population. But Asians are pound for pound the most racist in my opinion. Their culture is ridiculously backwards.

[TheDevilInside]

I don't know anything about Asian Americans, but I can only tell you that the word "racism" is not even a realised concept here, much less seen as a problem. That's because here in Asia, everyone thinks their racist behaviors and ways of thinking are perfectly normal.

[Asker]

This is exactly what I'm talking about. You wouldn't hear that even in Europe.

[TheDevilInside]

Almost all Asians who have never lived outside of Asia are racists and they don't even realise it because it's normal for them. I was once like that too. It was the way I was raised. It is how we or they raise kids here.

[TheFlak36]

Thats why Asians are not the suckers European people have become today.

[TheDevilInside]

@theflak36 I agree. The worshipping of lake skin and long noses and big eyes definitely doesn't help either. I blame Hollywood partly for this.

[lunawander08]

There are racist people in all races.
I can only speak from my family/what I know but I believe since Asians tend to be a collective based culture they want people who share the same traits as them. I know Asian families who are even racist against Asians of other ethnicities. For example, a Korean not liking a Japanese.
In terms of marriages/dating, as bad as it is and I do want this to change but I do have friends whose parents with be approving of a white or Asian guy but anyone else is a no.
In my family personally, I do have relatives who married blacks and at first it took a while for them to get to use to it but we welcomed them.
So it depends on the family as well.

[parisfox]

I'm Asian and I don't know... Asian's are very racist but so are some white people. Some white people are VERY culturally open but so are some Asian people. So I don't know. Lol I would say they're equal and both at at number 1.

[Asker]

Asians definitely edge white people out for the #1 spot.

[Prof_Don]

As a black American guy... I have had more racist vibes from Asians than whites in my lifetime.

[Nuqood]

Probably those fake ching chong language speaking gooks.

[ygughgigkguil]

I don't fucking care white people are just racist more then Asians, Asians are only racist because they don't understand but white people just see an Asian like me and just says konichiwa and assumes im jappanese when im not another white said hey look I bet this guy ate snake after he did karate like what the fuck, just in my opinion Americans are just fucking racist like a bitch

[Jxpxtxr]

Gosh, the world is so full of racism nowadays, isn't it?
Racist europeans, racist americans, racist Africans, racist Asians, racist everybody.

[Asker]

The world is always been full or racism. It's just Asians are the kings of it now.

[DamnCurtis]

Yeah, Asians can be pretty strict with their ideals.

[TheFlak36]

Asians. And good for them. That's why they are the dominant people in this world instead of Europeans who have become weak suckers.

[Maxemeister]

I think it's culture and not race that makes people racist

[Asker]

Except that makes no sense.

[Maxemeister]

What r u talking about?

[TheDevilInside]

This. Think about what he said, asker.

[Anonymous]

I feel like they are equally racist, well I feel as if each group of individuals are equally racist.

[MrDetermined]

Asians 100% their culture is fucked up

[Zombie-Killa]

Neither. Its the black population in the United States, no contest.

[Asker]

And this is why white people are in discussion for the #1 racist spot.

[Zombie-Killa]

But that spot already belong to you, and people like you :|

[Asker]

You're right, because I'm white. Hurr durr dumbass.

[Zombie-Killa]

Well it figures, the most racist period on the planet are social justice warriors of any ethnicity!

You are like Racheal Dolezal, with male parts.

[Zombie-Killa]

And stop trying to be witty, its really not your thing :(

[Asker]

I'll stop trying to be witty when you stop trying to be intelligent.

[Asker]

It's not working out for you.

[Zombie-Killa]

Ok, guy... Whatever you say.

[Anonymous]

All races area equally racist but white people get 95 percent of the blame

[Asker]

White people get 95% of the blame because the world is a de facto white world.

[Wasteland_Wanderer]

Blacks and left-wingers in general.

[Anonymous]

White people

[truthhammer]

Black people from my experience.

[Asker]

So why are you answering this question? That wasn't a choice. It speaks volumes that white people always find some way to bash black people when black people are not relevant to the discussion.

[truthhammer]

I just made my own opinion because u seem bias. I just made it relevant
