Blacks v. Asians

While on the site of an Asian woman, the topic of Black violence against Asians came up.
Many people commented that poor Blacks were seen as the aggressors while poor Asians were seen as studious members of the "Model Minority".
Many people cited reports of Asian shop owners being victimized by their Black patrons as proof of such theories.
But the thing is - most Blacks are harmed by other Blacks, most whites are harmed by other whites, and most Asians are harmed by other Asians.
New America Media http://news/newamericamedia.org/new/ has a bunch of stories discussing this topic.
(Just click the "African American" section on the left side bar and then scroll to the stories and related links.)
But what is the cause of this bitterness?
I know about fifty people of Asian descent.
Of these, only two or three are male.
Sure, most Asian women are not as thick as the one pictured above - but many are still quite attractive.
Maybe I view Asians by the image shown in American media.
Maybe I view Asian women as attractive while I view Asian guys as nerds.
Maybe I forget that Asian guys dominate Hip Hop dance and some are members of the Chinese Triads or Japanese Yakuza.
Maybe I forget about Yao Ming or Ichiro Suzuki.
Maybe I forget that Tiger Woods and Hines Ward are half-Asian.

Yeah man you found the stallion Asian girl. I think that woman is the squatting champion of Qingdao.

This is where stereotypes get taken out of hand. People want the problem to be another race when in reality there are a lot of Asian deviants. Ish just go up to Oakland and Frisco and you'll see a lot of people breaking the stereotypes.

If you not round-eye, then you must die! JK

"Sure, most Asian women are not as thick as the one pictured above - but many are still quite attractive." What does this statement have to do with your overall point?

For some reason link did not work for me, but why would you think it odd that Asian folks would hate on Blacks just like everyone else? I think pretty much globally, people having darker skin (darker within their own race and Blacks of course) are looked down upon and viewed as inferior and this is a possible source of some of the tension. Additionally, most Asian cultures are quite insular, which is off putting to lots of people, not just Blacks, and this too could be the source of some friction. There has been a perception in some Black communities that Asian business owners extract economic benefit from the community but make no contribution, economic or social, back to the community. These factors alone could get the funny vibes going, not to mention some nuckle-headed Negros that are prone to starting something with anyone.

@ FreeMan - Yeah... that girl is baad (Whatever her ethnicity).

@ DPizz - "What does...?"
Only that I am effected by the stereotypes too and that this may have an affect on how I interact with Asians.

If the link would have worked you would have noticed that many Asians feel as though Black on Asian violence is a major problem.

I'm a little surprised they would say it's a "major" problem. They might be overreacting to a few news stories they see and thinking it is more widespread than it really is. In the hood it probably is a problem if they just setting up their shops, treating folks poorly and suspiciously (Menance II Society), and taking their money back to their own communities and having that condescending air about themselves that some have. In some parts of OC Cali, it is the other way around. Some of those Asian G's is the perpetrators and not victims.

I like most of the Asians I've met, the same with any race. I have noticed that there a vast cultural differences between them, based on the country they are from, and here, to some degree this includes their comfort level with African Americans. This is true, too, of Africans.

I live in a very mixed neighborhood. My youngest (14) has a host of very close Asian friends, right down to going to church with them and doing sleep overs. This melting pot place has had a cool effect on our what we eat for dinner.

As for their body types, well, we're all a little different but there's beauty in all groups. I know what I like, but I think God likes variety.

That girl is a perfect 10! Any normal person would not care about her ethnicity! You should promote her to "Shape" or "Curve" magazines; or better yet, please post her contact information, and I'll promote her!

It's a well known fact ALOT of Asian races won't really tolerate black people, in L.A 95% of the Asia town community will not even talk if a black police officer is present, even in there own language, here in Australia 95% of asians will not talk to us skip's, and the ones who do talk to us and or Aboriginal people are out casted by the own culture, there is many who will talk to skips, blacks, etc., but there 10 times more who wont, but face it, every race has them problems, theres skips who wont acknowledge aboriginals, theres white american who wont talk to black's..vice versa.
