In the US, there are a lot of xenophobic people. I live in the US now, but am really tired of this sentiment and don’t feel safe. I look forward to moving to Asia as soon as possible.
it's Biden America thriving on warmongers business. What you see is the spilling effects on disastrous foreign policies towards trading partners.... if Asians understand that she would have gone to right / friendlier smart places outside of cities..
Move to Singapore.. ❤
@@smallboy4423 YAAAAAAY
Move to Japan or south Korea or India...no racism at all 😂 especially the Chinese will embrace your differences 😂😂
@@rangoman1815There're not a few xenophobic people here in Japan. They don't say or do something directly most of the case but so many. . .
And in india, I was called "Corona!! by indians(I'm Japanese)
Why would anyone in Asia still want to stay in the US baffles me. Unlike the past, Asia and others parts of the world is growing while US is declining, and as it declines, one is going to face even more discrimination.
They still think it is the land to achieve their dream.
I prefer Japan and South Korea. Canada is also an option
@@ssuwandi3240 I just think that Canada is better than the US in term of gun violence
@@onlineshoppingjakarta7338There're not a few xenophobic people in Japan.
@@user-si3qc4pp5d it is safer than US and South America
I feel like Chinatown is losing its history due to gentrification in many areas in Chinatown, Manhattan NY. Soon it might be all gone with no one to carry on the old tractional path. 😢
My Chinese wife and I - I am Caucasian American male - just celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary, back in Sept. 2023. We met at an American university in the early 1970s. I had already a huge admiration for Chinese women, and I thought, well, there is a significant number of Chinese students here, so, time to launch "Operation Socialize with Chinese Maidens." Eventually, I found one who matched my mutual admiration. We fell in love. I talked her into forgetting about a university degree but to get her MRS. Degree, with me! We have children and grandchildren now. Our Catholic faith, not worship of money, has helped us a lot. Life is a mix of ignorance and misunderstandings, and occasionally truth and beautiful things come to us. We must continue to try, to keep faith, to love. I wish I could give a big hug to all the Chinese people. Protect yourselves from the bad, but understand there are good people also. Pray everyday. Work and be at peace with each day God gives you.
problem is people mistake bad behaviour for racism.
😂 or Radical IQ as racism..
That's the way New Yorker's treat everybody.
Move to Denver or Boulder! They'll kiss your whole sweet face . . . several times a day !!!😊
True. Some Asians are too woke..
She definitely needs to move to Colorado. I hope she does. That story really, truly upset me to the core.
Sadly, racism never goes away. It’s human nature.
Aka sinful nature!!
Huh not racism per se. JUST BIDENS AMERICA 😊 where wars are more important than $33.7 TRILLION DEBTS. 😅 Some Asians are too self absorbed like everybody else. Like a Korean lady shushed me in a cafe coz she's watching Korean drama 😅😅.. while i watched tube in ENGLISH 😅😅
@@ssuwandi3240
And, she can spell 'because' !!!
@systemuser8701
WOKE Asian on the spot. you won the jackpot!! DING DING DING 😝
The price of diversity at all costs. Very sad.. 80s was indeed the best, hands down!
Good luck to them. They are HK citizen.
denied appointment despite paid medical coverage; riot police pounding on my door, etc,
thanks government
That is the price Asians pay for living in the US. Suck it up or leave.
@@SSM12457 you're not Asian obviously and dare you still.comment on WE Asian.. Too funny yapping on that "hate"
@@SSM12457 A truthful one
Well you chose to immerse yourself in the american culture, immerse.
individualism plus woke ideologies is poison combo.. she asks for it
There is no way western folks will respect chinese american, hongkonger or even taiwanese unless they have a very strong China; likewise the west will respect people from India if India is strong.
The problem is the rising mix up between China CCP and terrorist Iran.. These type of politicians rogue narratives should be cleared by China spokesperson. Doing trades with Iran or Pakistan doesn't mean approving terrorism
Divide the Chinese, Mainland, Taiwan, and Hong Kong and rule tactic.
White people respect Indians more than Chinese because Indians are ruling them. Vice president of US is half Indian Tamil( Kamala Harris) and prime minister of UK is Indian as well (rishi sunak)
I will never understand why so many Asian-Americans vote Dem but hey whatever floats your boat
lol but it's Republicans who want to send them back, so what's your point?
need to understand USA is a jungle, you need to be strong and defend yourself and nobody pity you. look at Irish, Italians, Jewish, they all went through discrimination and now they are mainstream and are in powerful positions in politics and business. Even indians who came much later than Chinese to USA and see how many are in senate and congress, Kamala, Vivek, Nikki, Bobby Jindal, Chinese ppl need to learn from them to stand firm.
Ohh no you got the most dislikable Diversity list 😂😂 Indian native who blurted scum on national TV 😅😅 WE Asian definitely know better in SELF Respect.. instead of playing like THAT Scum..
Pls don't mix up Indian as Asian..the West political horseshyte.. India plate is connected to Eurasia continent NOT really Asia..
@@ssuwandi3240 Indians are very similar in appearance and cuisines to North East Africans and Arabs
@rangoman1815 yes Indian cuisine is closer to North Africa and Arab.. the furthest country still part of Asia is Thailand. Countries with access to Himalaya mountains range are part of Eurasia that XiJinPing BRI project will be taking it's major role of building new trade hubs from Eurasia into Asia.. Thanks China for stepping up as India wouldn't be able to. Eurasia region is rich in natural resources but fairly isolated from global access to trade
@@ssuwandi3240 Indians are now ruling white countries lol. Vice president of USA is half Indian and prime minister of UK is fully Indian. Meanwhile chinese people get spat on by white man🤣🤣🤣
😂your in the city this is America what do you want, not getting knifed or gunned down thank your god or whatever
Asians normally get this kind dicrimination in western countries. So me must make sure when the westerner come to our countries, we make sure they get the same treatment if not a much worse one.
You Chinese worst than white people
Asians still worship their Western colonial masters.
True even half white half Asians are badly treated in the UK and Western Europe to different degrees, the worst is in the UK.
Alternatively if they call us:
Jackie Chan, Call them Mr Bean
Pull your nose since white got a big nose and ask them to eat spaghetti via their nose
Yankee
If they mocking chingchongching, mock them with mamamiaaa oieyottt
Just use random white and European slur to them
🤣🤣🤣
@@shukriramlee calling them Mr bean ? Mamamiaaa ? Oh gosh ! You are too friendly . White trashes , western bastar* , Pathetic western scumba** are more appropriate terms.
