Less as in none? We have a large Asian community down here in New Orleans, Vietnam refugees made it. I remember in the 90's, early 2000's, when they still had Asian gangs, no one messed with them much. After Katrina hit and the gangs scattered, they were the first to rebuild, and became the first target of robberies, rape, and murder.
Let's see, Asian women are seen as more desirable in general with Asian men seen as less so, I'm sure there's more than that but I'm on the outside looking in. My wife is Asian, and since I was 4 one of my dad's good friends who owns a body shop, him and all his employees I've been close to. I do miss the Asian gangs though, they were clean and got things done.
recognition? I'm not seeing the promotion... and that occurs through media. The "squeeky wheel" gets the grease.
don't know, maybe they are content with the various celebrations they have and they don't care? As well, they tend to be more subdued... decades of being controlled and oppressed... products of emperors, chairman Mao torturning and murdering people to submission by the millions?
Americans are a bunch of rebels. I don't see that in Asian culture, in some Asians yes.
We should. I didn't know what chinese food was until college... and that wasn't even real chinese food. I learned nothing of east or middle east in high school.
I think one reason nobody complains about Asian American discrimination is that Asian Americans are still able to get jobs and leadership positions and advanced degrees so are not viewed as victims as much as other groups, I’m not saying Asians are smarter than other races but since Asians are more populous in the world, there are more potential Asians to choose from when the immigration staff are selecting citizens to populate America, this leads to the academic clustering illusion, where Asians appear more intelligent than other groups, leading to envious people not caring about their social victimization.
I find Asians in general to be confrontation shy. Chinese culture takes the indirect approach in a lot of situations. This very overt expression of Asia-Americans calling out Asian hate is absolutely not from the Asian mentality in actual Asian countries. Historically, due to this pliant behaviour they have been let higher up the hegemonic ladder whereas Blacks are still America's defacto boogeyman when it isn't Muslims or Mexicans who don't have such a diminutive manner.
Conservative Asians tend to be more confrontational than liberal Asians.
Remember “rooftop Koreans” during the LA riots of the 1990s?
Oh Koreans are not the Chinese. Koreans will mess you up.
LMAOOOOO same

"Asians" are actively discriminated against in the US, most notably in the (higher) education system, and indirectly through income taxation since they are on average among the highest salary earners (by demographic) living off of strictly taxable income. It's a group that the government elite generally avoids drawing any attention to when they can't exploit them.
Case in point: When "Stop Asian Hate" took off last year, they dropped it like a hot potato when it became apparent that almost all of the anti-Asian hate crimes were being committed by other minorities.
Honestly? Because I think Asians are less likely to get roped into the political bandwagon. They go by those marginalized groups who go out and vote vote VOTE for them when the time comes.
And somehow I don't see Asians running to the podium thinking about how they're going to vote for that nice politician who said he loves Asians. From my experience talking to a few classmates who were Asian back in the day, they all seemed to give much less of a shit about feeling marginalized and when they made decisions it was more logical rather than emotional.
Just a thought.
People like you can never celebrate other cultures without trying to pit bipoc communities against one another. You’ll weaponize bipoc communities but you don’t give a shit about them, last year during the Asian spa shooting did you give a shit about Asian lives or the Asian community? Probably not
You could’ve used this post to talk about Asian American struggles but you didn’t. dumb asses like you literally think Korea and Japan are the only Asian countries.
@caitycat21 Only racist focus upon race rather than the broader picture.
Either race is relevant to the achievements of history and today or its not. Those who think it is, maybe speaking against it, but are in fact insisting upon the relevance of race with their every action and word.
Whose who focus upon what was done and said, find the race of the speaker or doer to be ill-relevant, as they could have been done by anyone.
@caitycat21 Quit your bickering. Pointing out far left wing hypocrisy is not the equivalent to pitting communities against each other.
Shutup and cope. You bring nothing of value to the conversation.
Taking things out of context isn’t a valid argument. Typical gen z ignoramus
Not sure. My state was the first in the nation to mandate teaching Asian American history. Why it is taking such a long time is beyond reason?
The thing is you are the last person to complain about it because you are batshit crazy.
Lolx10!!!
Usually the person who calls others crazy is the crazy one.
Nah, ususally the trolls who hide out on the internet saying shit they would never say in public are the crazy ones.
I have invited every single one of you to my discussion groups where you cannot be anonymous.
No takers, because you are all cowards. So you are all insane, but not so much that you expose yourself to consequences.
Says the person who can’t seem to stop using ad hominems.
You are nothing but another cowardly batshit troll.
Still talking about yourself in third person.
Because they're not seen as victims anymore, and in the idiotic heiralchy imposed by the modern zeitgeist, you're either a victim or an oppressor. Asians in America are too successful to be victims, so they've joined the Jews and the Irish on the oppressor pile.
Democrats hate Asians because they disprove their lies that non-Whites are at a disadvantage in the USA when in reality, some "minority" groups actually have a legal and financial ADVANTAGE over Whites in the USA. Asians often actually work hard and don't resort to being criminals and druggies with excuses and end up doing well so democrats don't like or support them.
You kind of answered your own question. Asians have always been considered privileged like White people, and are always being blamed for minorities not getting into good schools. And Asians have always considered themselves and Whites superior to everyone else, so they've never really fit in with the other minority groups, because like you said, they've never been seen as marginalized, in recent history.
The word you are missing is scapegoat. The pinko commiecrats like to scapegoat Asians because they consider them to be privileged but in reality Asians are far more marginalized than any other minority with the exception of native Americans.
I think honestly too many histories have had to have been fought for in America. None will necessarily get the recognition that deserves but we definitely are glad for any that it gets. I really don't know why and you know what it would be great to hear about the contributions to American society via Asians.
I don't pay attention to racist history months. Theses events are created by racist who think only in terms of race.
When in fact actual historic events just like modern events happened very much in the context of a broader story of events chapping at the same time. You either learn that broad story or you don't understand those events.
Racist who want to focus upon the story of just a particular race should be as condemned as they are ignorant of history.
They got a month despite being what percentage of the population, sounds pretty good. Maybe Asian Americans don't care about Asian history month.
https://www.youtube.com/embed/NtYfHW5wu8Q I never heard about it until this month. I'm sick if racist history months to be honest. Historic events are either understood in the content of the world of the time are they are not understood.
Unfortunately we have far too many powerful people motivated by pushing racism for political reason pushing everyone to think only in terms of race.

@Redhead999 Ironic given the similarly the CCP behaved killing many times more people than the other national socialist in Europe.
People try to define fascism as evil seemly because of it;s racist leaders when in fact fascism is evil because it created a system that devalued human life for a wide range of reasons in a wide range of ways, leading to the broad extermination of large amounts of human life in many ways be it concentration camps or warfare.
The people who have dominated our cultural institutions spliced this small difference primarily because that racism is among the few the small differences that sets the fascist apart from their communist counterparts who otherwise did the same thing on a far larger scale.
Where as the Nazi's may have killed 10s of millions the Communist killed 100s. But the communist leaders were just a little less focused upon race at least publicly.
The larger story of what was happening is very important to understanding that history.
We could easily repeat such genocide if we don't remember it was the system devaluing human life that led to it, not the various spesfic contemporary reasons for wanting to do it.
@Redhead999 It’s you Democrats who don’t care about Asian history month because you are too busy bootlicking other groups.
I dont care about Asian history month because I'm not Asian. Where is Irish history month. We are happy with a day.
You guys have saint Patrick’s day.
Saints Patrick’s day is known world wide.
Exactly. A day that is culturally appropriated worldwide
Most people only know it for being a day you either wear green or get pinched.
Why di think there's no White American anything? I feel your pain, but soft spoken back asses don't get as much attention as loud ass bog months. Thats just how it works, squeaky wheel gets the grease thing
This is a good thing, the people who complain are really just giving their kids an non-relevant excuse for failing at anything. The sub-cultures that do this are failures because too many of their children buy this racist nonsense and don't keep trying.
@monorprise I agree in principle. Geniue bad ass don't ned to complain or need attention or recognizition they just go out and act like bad asses every day. So why is there not a national bad ass reconsignition day?
Or would it just end up being, black bad ass day, Asian Bad ass day, womens bad ass day or LGBTQ bad ass day... because white people or men, especially white men don't need recognition because every day is white man badass day.
Whites do have history months or days but they aren’t lumped together as “white history month”, they are broken up by ethnicity. German, Irish, French, Italian etc.
You can’t handle simple facts can you.
If we did this proportionally, Europeans would be celebrated 350 days, Asians 5 days, Hispanics 5 days, And blacks 4 days and others 1 day. This is not meant to denigrate anyone, but this was a country founded and based on European blues and traditions — despite the pc crap that is so pushy and pervasive now
I don't pay attention to any of it. Black, women, Asian, etc. Nor the awareness months. Nor the social awareness challenges. I simply don't care. 🤷 But if its means something to someone more power to them. I mainly get tired of all the balloons and ribbons at work for all the history months. Balloons deflate and the tape holing all the ribbons fail and then I'm left with an obstacle course getting from point a to b. That's about the extent of my thinking about whatever "month" it is.
Because the media wants to make white people feel bad that they made blacks slaves in the past. Media pushing its agenda. Blacks protest saying BLM while shoving Asians into trains. Most of the people who support BLM could care less of the other minority groups. Otherwise they would have said all lives matter. If an Asian man were to get choked like Floyd did, trust me there won’t be shit happening. The BLM supporters wouldn’t give two fucks lol. This is the reality of the world we live in.
Because they don’t care about cultural appropriation like others. They celebrate their homelands holidays and cultures. Not American made holidays they don’t care about. And they are more focused on money/education rather than politics.
As far as I'm concerned there is 1 day that represents all of us. The 4th of July.
I think if we had a day to recognize every ethnicity that helped contribute to the idea of America we'd have 1 for every day of the week.
They haven't been here long enough maybe about 120 years. Other than that they just been contract workers or prison labor
Or white people put them in diet coke concentration camps.
They actually have been here way longer than that. en.m.wikipedia.org/.../Military_history_of_Asian_Americans
Again contract workers or prison Labour.
Soldiers and businessmen and landowners
Indentured servants. Like the irish
Not all of them, only some.
You are correct.
If you not the big 3 native American, black or white most people don't know anything about you.
Mostly because they came here willingly or adopted Or they were denied citizen ship because of cheap labour and not being on the census at the time.
Even Mexicans are known more because of the California and texas war etc
Many Asian Americans have been here for generations though. Democrats put more emphasis on the big three (LGBT, black and white) instead evenly distributing the emphasis on all groups.
It’s only been recent when Asians, natives and Hispanics have been getting recognition and even then, it’s barely noticeable.
Lgbt hasn't been thing since the 60s. And only until the 2000s have they been a issue
No native American always been noticeable. Again the big 3 white black native American. Number four is Mexican
That community has always been around they only became more public after the 1960s.
Nobody cared about them until 2000. Even democrats didn't care. Not until 2007ish.
Yeah they been around but it you were one you had to hide it.
Represntstion for them didn't start until 2010
That’s how democrats are, they only support a certain group when it’s convenient for their party.
You can say the same with Republicans. Or any politician.
Most people only care if it's going to get them something.
No one doing nothing for free.
Republicans are more blunt with who they like or don’t like. They don’t try to hide their attitudes towards a group. Remember Trump’s speech on Mexican immigrants? Nothing subtle about that.
Democrats they are more subtle. Many times they’ll pretend to like a group but in reality they abhor that group of people. Democrats pretend to support Asian-Americans but in reality they view Asian Americans as “privileged”.
Yeah Republican don't like Asian immigrants either. I've seen many of these republican say they don't want Asians immigrant in college or something because of they don't hold "American values" or something.
Now if they talk to democrats they'll act like they on Asian side and say democrats are stopping Asian from getting in schools etc etc.
Anyway we getting off topic.
I live in Asia. No one gives a shit about that, here.
Guess, why :D
I had no idea. I guess Asians are at that weird point on the progressive stack to have a history month but not at the point where a lot of people are aware of it.
My wife is East Asian and I did not know there was one.
What needs to be respecter is the Native Americans. The true people of the land. Others as well ofcourse
I didn’t know their was an Asian American month. They should honor it more in schools.
The schools that allow any racist history month should be condemned and denied any public funding.
Historic events just like modern events take place in the content of a broader world and are NOT focused upon a particular race.
If they are focused upon race they are not teaching history, only racism to push a false idea about both.
The only things that concern me about May are my cousin's birthday (May 15), my birthday (May 25), and my aunt's birthday (May 30).
We don't like east Asians in America especially the Chinese and rightfully so.
Why?
Now you sound like a Democrat.
It's true. And I'm a registered traditional Democrat, but no longer support the modem ones. 🤷♂️
That doesn’t sound very Christian of you as you are supposed to love your fellow brothers and sisters regardless of race.
The immense majority of Chinese in China hate Jesus Christ and the Bible. Over 90% of them are atheist. The Bible teaches to hate the enemies of God.
There are Chinese Christians but they are persecuted by their government.
South Koreans are also known for being Christian, they even have their own churches

Because Asians are successful people as a whole, so they don't demand the never ending pity party.
That’s because white liberals see Asians as a privilidged group instead of an oppressed group like black people and muslims
it’s cuz they don’t constantly play the victim card, there’s still slavery in some Asian countries.
Who doesn’t play the victim card?
Asian people, they’ve been through a ton of horrible things throughout history but still stand tall.
😂😂😂 whats next? ginger history month?
PATHETIC.
Why should any group have their own month? That in itself smacks of Racism.
I don’t know, ask the Democrats (commiecrats).
You mean black and women history months?
Because Asian culture kinda contributed to not fussing over stuff.
I don't know... really
What's funny is, us jews, don't even get a month
better than caucasian month
because it doesn't serve any of their narratives
