According to Americans, no. Asians were always outsiders; it didn't matter if you were 2nd, 3rd, or 5th generation. It didn't matter if you served in the military; once you leave, no ordinary American respects you. Anyone who wants to understand what Americans think of Asians should just look at Florida's "alien" law, which bans property ownership for anyone who is Asian, including Asian Americans. That law was removed in 2018, which isn't long ago if you don't count the pandemic years (2020-2022), but it explains exactly what Americans think of Asians or Asian Americans. I also feel that this will continue into the future since being Asian means you are an outsider.
nope, not till the asian community leaders come out and tell all the wrongs they have done against blacks and continue to, the hate should continue. enough of double standards.
As welcomed as Mr. Wong's powerful statement is, it's appalling that someone like him should recognize the need to have to make it. It's like an adult having to lecture children.

And teaching discrimination and Critical Race Theory (racism) against white people in our School System. None of it is right, and it doesn't matter who it's directed at.
@@ivy7946 Asians have been violently attacked by blacks for years now. In what way are you supporting them? Or was that just a feel-good statement, and you haven't "supported" them for the 10 months since?
Thank you, Mr Lee. My apologies as I don't know your rank. Your speech was rock-hard to the point and your scars summed it up nicely. Not one of those panel members said anything, no thank-yous, no welcome home, etc. I hope they were just too shocked to comment. I'm also a Vietnam Vet, saw a lot of damaged guys in the year I was there (377th USAF Dispensary, Tan Son Nhut AB) the Casualty Staging Flight was connected to our ER. 1968-69 had a hell of a lot of casualties and that ward emptied each morning to send the guys home and filled by the next day (80) beds. I have no visible scars. I hope things improved for you since that board meeting. Cheers, CMSgt Bob Powell, USAF(Ret)
America has such a long way to go. Everybody thought it had gotten better, then Trump came and many Americans showed their true color. Such a long way to go.
Even now, in 2023, Asians are still outsiders. Just the other day, I had a bunch of whites make fun of me and my friends when we were having a conversation in our native tongue. It didn't matter if you were first or tenth generation; as an Asian or Asian American, you are always an outsider, despite the fact that this country was built on immigrants and the H1B visa.
Ok, so after he poured out his heart and stood up to leave, giving the word to the next guy, he chooses to completely ignore any follow up, just going on to the next business at hand. Case doubly proven.
I have to say. I am Asian American too. Born here never had any problems because of my race to whites or blacks or Mexicans or to other Asians. But just because im Asian does NOT mean i will not die for this country. I love USA it's my country. So just because im Asian does not mean i eill betray this country and join China for example just because they are Asians like me NO. This is my country, I love USA and i will defend it from whoever!!! That Comes to try to destroy it.
Unfortunately the Republicans have historically been racist against asian looking people. Like in orange county when the loser conservatives were fighting to keep Vietnamese refugees out of westminster
I'm Moroccan and I don't know why this video was suggested to me... anyway.. I applaud that gentleman and i hope that all Americans love and respect each other no matter the race or religion! You have to show that multiculturalism can work! We have to stop the racism on this planet!
@@nigelsenchez Conservative minded people want everyone to be treated equally!! The left wants to divide people based on race/sex/religion. That is why leftist universities discriminate against Asians, that is why they promote separate grad ceremonies for blacks ( promoting segregation!!! ) etc. You cannot give me one true fact that shows that the right is dividing the nation. Try it! I DARE YOU.
politicaljunkie4ever If the left wants to divide why do they want inclusion of every race sex and religion to one group? While the right wants to separated each one to their own separated groups. I think you mixed up your left and right identity politics. I’m not saying either side or party is right or wrong.
This is why I love America. You don't have to be a citizen to be American by nature. Even some citizens aren't really Americans. There is a spirit of America. That's what makes you American.
together against racism, discrimination, conspiracy, and hate speech! "Ethnicity" does not matter, and should not exist! No difference even in "skin color", if you act differently in communication with someone because of these factors, then you can be sure that you are a discriminating racist, if not outside, inside, what matters are your skills, how you act with others, and if you are a danger for the system, then you gotta get classified as a terrorist, no soldiers anymore, we need drones which are securing anti-terrorism acts, everybody could be a terrorist, your "ethnicity" the tectonic plate of this planet is not deciding it, it is the bad karma in the being it selves, he is human-like we all, what matters is your good sportsmanship, kindness, your skills which everyone can diplomacy earn, it's your own rewards, please stay safe, stay hydrated& healthy my friends. It's the unique mindset, can't change my mind, everyone gets a chance in communication, and if you don't have toxic behavior you are welcome& helpful. As if nobody gives a damn about this mindset of mine, I wish the whole society a strong bondship& that we change the present for a great future together. Stay strong n' safe.
Just all of you understand this the 400years is up, and we are all going to return back to Africa where you took us from and used us all as dollar bills.
Yes, unfortunately some people can be rude and insensitive, what exactly does he want me to do about it? At least the news doesn't constantly demonize his race, ask him to apologize for his ancestors actions, or call him evil if he prefers to live around people of his kind.
Exactly. None of it is right, no matter who it's directed at. And it seems to be incredibly fashionable nowadays on the Left, to be racist against Caucasian Americans and our Ancestors.
totally respect! but unfortunately, your service to the country is NOT enough, and will NOT be enough. if you are born in US, you should deserve to be treated equally! By the time you start to earn your equity, something is seriously wrong!
Why is the place of birth an issue here? If a guy is born between two Americans but in somewhere else, say Europe, does he not deserve to be seen patriotic even after serving for US military and all that?
@@lemonwaterr honestly, doesnt matter where you born and what race you are, we should be all equal. but its already proven not the case. so whatever it is
Lol.. Please tell me what is a true American? Clearly... Serving to US military and fighting for American freedom does not constitute of being American.
