, not a "house slave." I guess there's a first for everything. I think that the foaemudnntal difference between myself and a lot of other minorities is that I don't consider myself a victim in any shape or form. Sure we can look back at US history and say "see, you see what the white men have done to us??" But I intentionally choose not to engage in that type of thinking. We live in the present, and this is the best damn country in the WORLD. Sure this government (not the white men) has done many horrible things to its own people in the past. But which government hasn't??Go ahead, name one government that has not oppresed its own people in its state of infancy? Somalia? England? France? Japan? China? Taiwan? Korean? Vietnam? The list of countries that have done HORRORS to its own people goes on and on and on. My point is that ALL governments screw up, but we absolutely cannot dwell on it. We need to learn from it and move on.If it's so bad here, why don't you move back to Japan? Is it because you will NEVER get a citizenship there? Unlike the US where a legal option is actually provided to everybody that wants to be an American. And I take offense to your comment that like a house nigger, I consider my "peers" second class citizen. Now, let's disect that line. My peers, I think you mean the Asian American communities. Unlike you, I consider my "peers" people I work with, live with, play with and have day to day interaction with. White, Yellow, Black, Brown, whatever. Unlike you, I don't see color when I interact with people. I agree with you, some idiots out there are going to look at the winners from the Toys-R-Us and think they are no different than the other Asian Americans. My question to you is this, how do you stop that? There are always going to be idiots out there who won't make the distinction. Just like people don't make a distinction on illegal mexican works and Latinos who are an integral part of this country. Yourself might be guilty of this, too. You know what I say to that? SO WHAT? I meet idiots everyday, I have accepted the fact that I won't be able to change people. What I will not accept is the implication that I consider other minorities 2nd class citizens like a house nigger. Where do you even get THAT from?
