DogOnPorch Posted April 10, 2021 Report Posted April 10, 2021 Damn Asians and their scissors...always cutting-off hijabs from unsuspecting Muslim girls going to school. 1 Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.
DogOnPorch Posted April 10, 2021 Report Posted April 10, 2021 (edited) Quote The left in their march towards harmony want to drive a wedge between the Asian and Caucasian communities and create strife where there was none. That's what they do...racism. ...and here's why. The last thing the left wants is the "Asians" and "White People" getting together in common cause and voting together...in harmony.

Half the victims aren't even Chinese, they are just Asians in general. Deplorables, eh? 1 Quote

I spent years there and find it difficult to tell unless I hear them speak their native language. Agreed. But that doesn’t mean we ignore the truth as to where the virus came from. For example, we call out police brutality without any worry of anti-police violence it may cause. Quote
DogOnPorch Posted April 10, 2021 Report Posted April 10, 2021 The virus came from a Red Chinese germ lab in Wuhan after acquiring samples of bat pathogen from countries like Canada. Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.

In 1942 we confiscated the property of tens of thousands of Japanese Canadians and shipped them off to internment camps. Maybe we haven't changed that much after all. Quote

This is why nobody takes you people seriously anymore. You’re all bat shit crazy. 1 Quote
Moonlight Graham Posted April 10, 2021 Report Posted April 10, 2021 Blaming China for the virus, which we should do, doesn't mean a person is culpable for hate-crimes. Trump never told anyone to hate on asian-Americans or blame them for anything. He just told people to hate the CCP because of what they did. 1 Quote "All generalizations are false, including this one." - Mark Twain Partisanship is a disease of the intellect.

I don't know where your ancestors came from but I guess you would be fine with getting beat up because of something that happened in that country. Quote

It takes a bit of time for a groundswell of hate and racism to build enough for a government to take action against a group. Anyway, I was merely commenting on how my eyes have been opened as to how much hate exists in Canada and the States; I used to think we were much farther ahead of certain third world countries in that regard. Fortunately, we have a Liberal gov and so it's unlikely that conservative tribalism will lead us into such government-sanctioned persecution. Quote

A leader should be able and willing to bring out the best in his followers, not the worst. Trump brought out the worst. 1 Quote

I thought that you were part of the "white people are guilty of slavery and systemic racism" crowd. I must have been mistaken, because you'd have to be a complete retard to not see the similarity between stereotyping an entire race of people (based on flawed reasoning and incoherent idiocy) and stereotyping ex-pats from a specific country.

WTF are you talking about. Do you honestly think the perpetrators of this violence bother to ask their victims where they were born or even care? I know racism isn't an exclusively white thing. I spent a fair amount of time in Asia and experienced it myself, although it was more subtle. Quote

What is often left out of this tale of mass suffering is that there were certain elements in the Japanese diaspora that WERE sending intelligence back to Imperial Japan. Less so in Canada...but 5th column Japanese fishermen were instrumental in sounding the depths of Pearl Harbor for the IJN's shallow water torpedoes. This set off the internment fiasco.

Gee, I didn't know there was such great fishing in Pearl Harbor and the navy would let you do it. LOL Learn something every day. Edited April 10, 2021 by Aristides Quote
