    she said it herself that she's from Manila, but when people asked her where she's really from other than NY, she went pissy

      I reply with utmost respect. I kinda get where she is coming from by being annoyed by d follow up question of "where do u really come from?" It is not so much d question perhaps it was d implication that just bec she looked d way she looked she couldnt have been from ny therefore racially profiling her. But i also think she was refering to her husband being asked d same question despite being a 4th generation american. Could u imagine d same question being asked to an african american? The question could have been rephrased without sounding condescending.. maybe "what is ur ethnicity?" We live in a world n time where political correctness is a must so it is understandable. Maybe it would have been a different reaction had d follow up question been asked in a country where racism isnt so prevalent? I also understand ur point though.

      @@Jesse-bb4qj I am aware. I have a south african friend who is caucasian. I know some history of south africa. I have realized my statement may have come off as such thus d apology as i didnt mean to offend anyone. So sarcasm was not needed. My point was some may take d follow up question a bit harder than others bec of d discrimination. People who had to face racism on a regular basis will likely b more sensitive with it esp racism against asians r on d rise. To me, the term "american" does not equal a particular race either so neither does being "african" as north africans r of different race too.

    This is so stupid. 1mans action shouldn't describe ethnicity as whole. Just because a person was an asian who was attacked by different ethnicity person doesn't mean it's a asian hate crime. Its more like an individual hate towards another for whatever the reason. But to categorize groups of peoples hating different groups and reason is racism? Is just plain Stupid

      Just in the last few days a 65yo Asian lady was beaten brutally by a guy while 2 security guards watched and then closed the doors to their store--dude broke her pelvis. It was on Timcast, so I trust it.
      There has been an increase in stories about Asians being attacked, idk about PIs. There could be an increase in reporting them because of COVID, but it very well could be an actual rise. Asians do get attacked here whether it is during COVID or not, but it comes from all other races, not just Whites. Last year, an old Asian man was severely harassed by a group of black teens or people while crying his eyes out.
      I don't believe in performance activism, but we definitely should try to spread the message of "not all Asians are the CCP and trying to kill you, stop freaking tf out on regular people" but also "don't attack people for no reason"
      Not like those that perpetrate these hate crimes care though :/

      @@maurianobaruso5859 yep, it's outrage culture made to divide us. Attacks can be real, but the media can portray them any way they want... I go to a liberal, regional university in a primarily conservative place, and while there's a lot of their dumb crap around, in my Information/News Media Awareness class, an intro-level course anyone can take, you learn ALL about this stuff cause our professor is BASED. I knew of this stuff beforehand cause I like real news and info, but the other kids really need it and I am getting a good bit out of the class still.
      Also, on the topic of Asians + college, it's weird how on one end, the Left hates on Asians for basically being successful and "white" in America and make them have insanely high test scores (above all other races) to even get close to getting in, all because they mark "Asian" in their application box, but then on the other end, Asians are still a totally discrimated, oppressed minority we need to protect from feral whities (not saying Whites do all these attacks, but the media likes to say that).

    Ms Salonga is as much responsible for anti-Asian sentiment as anyone, actually more so. Given enormous recognition, remuneration and opportunity in the US she promptly stabbed the county in the back with accusations of racisms. NOW we see that other races will simply not tolerate the race card being played. It is sad to see her piss on the country who gave her the opportunity to showcase her considerable talent on the world stage. Just a sad individual.

      @@hindustanimusiclover6543 The U.S. doesn't have an official language actually. Also Native Americans were waging war and stealing land from each other long before any European colonizers showed up. So who does the land go back to? In terms of religion. There was no all encompassing religion amongst Native Americans they had very similar beliefs but none were the same, many practices and even deities were different. So which religion are we going to use? Are we going to clump them all into one religion? You can learn Native language already although many ( not all but many )Native born people would prefer their language only be used by themselves.
