Asians seem to be nice perfect people, and by Asians I mean far eastern orientals like Japanese, Koreans, Chinese and the like. They are known for being polite, kind, respectful, honourable and honest. They don’t lie, they don’t cheat, they don’t steal, they don’t do anything bad. They are so unlike us westerners, many of who steal, lie, disrespect, be rude and aggressive, commit crimes and do all the bad things associated with the human species. That’s why I like Asians, in fact two of my best friends I ever had have been Chinese and Kazakh. For example, A Kazakh guy once moved in to our university hostel and shared with me a big bag of biscuits he had. I didn’t ask. Even Asians who grew up in the west are usually better behaved than other people there.
So I wonder, why, is there something unique in their DNA, or the environment they evolved in to make Asians different from the other humans and exhibit less of the bad traits associated with our species?
Asia is a very community driven society which explains their habits of sharing and caring for each other.
But so is Africa and much of the third world. And there is corruption and they steal a lot in Africa.
Its not something on DNA. Most of Asian countries were let alone to develop their culture alone while Africa and America were pillaged and destroyed by colonialism.
This is a massive over-generalisation both with regards your country and Asian peoples.
Have you been to any other countries than your own?
In the UK and other countries, Asian means Indian, Sri Lankan, Pakistani or Bangla Deshi: not Chinese, Japanese, Korean. Kazakhs are not Asian, they are Turkic.
I mentioned what I mean by Asians, to be more precise, I mean anyone that looks like Chinese (narrow eyes, round face, wide cheeks) some refer to them as mongoloid. Kazakhs are a mixture of races and some of them are Asians.
I’ve also got to tell you now that “mongoloid” has been widely used in English as a derogatory term for persons with Down’s syndrome and its offensive. I know you don’t mean that but I would advise not using the word.
Big Yikes.
Japan gov killed million chinese and koreans in ww2
Chinese gov killed approxinately 60 million chinese by starwing in the 1960ies
Vietkong killed more viatnemese than the american and french troops combined in 30 years of vietnam wars
Historically what you claim in your first post is wrong.
Saying that asians are"nicer and more polite" is very true. Their cultures are more polite than american cultire, however when it cones to public politeness then europeans are not far behind asians.
Now lets see human rights: pretty much all human and civil rights, cartas and “freedom” was invented in europe, and then through colonies, implemented in asia and africa as well.
Why it worked in asia and africa not? I dont know, ask someone else, i wont speculate.
Gnerally speaking, what the first post claims is a huge overgeneralization and does not reflect reality. Thinking of the japanese jacusa mafia, the extreme heavy problems in japan society with child porn and sexual child abuse (google it),taking into consideration chinese “hit to kill” practices (google it= if you hit a person with a car make sure he is death and not only injured, it is cheaper if he is death, common practice to hit wounded persons several times with your car to make sure he/she is death).
I would strongly disagree with the first post. Its one thing to smile in your face while silently wishing nothing good to you and its another thing to look in your face without a fake smile but not wishing you any bad.
I prefer the european way by a mile.
Let the asians have their fake smiles.
Mongoloid is the correct word. What your culture made out of that word and added a meaning to it which isnt true is the fault of your culture and the uneducated people who added this negative meaning to a neutral word (probably just because the word sounds funny when you say it)
Or you wanna say we should stop saying homo sapiens because it involves saying “homo”? How about homocide? Change that word too?
If you associate something negative with a neutral word then the fault is in you and your association, rather (and much easier) change your assosiation than change the word for 7 billion people. Or am i wrong?
anyway: the word mingoloid dates back to the times of djingis kahn (or however you spell that name in english) and describes the asian race. Mongoloid is the correct wording for asians and (most people dont know) native american races in north and south america.
Yes, I understand what you’re saying. You are not the only person who understands the correct use of the word mongoloid. However, the incorrect use is far more common (or used to be in the UK, it isn’t now) and as such its very correct and quite legitimate use might lead to unintended consequences. My advice remains therefore to avoid its usage, especially to someone who is perhaps not a native English speaker.
I am grateful for your helpful interruption.
Very correct point that it might lead to unintended consequences for native english speakers. But it is not an english word, rather latin, so my advice would be to educate the people who associate wrong with the word to associate it correct. Thats anyways easier than finding a new word and teach 7 billion people to use the new word, rather teach the few millions to associate correct than force several billions to bend to the idiocracy of puberting teenies using a word falsely because to them it sounds funny.
And to the people wanting to use the word “asians” to describe the mongoloid race id like to hint to them that india isnt mongoloid race based,neither is far east like persians, caucasians (east russia, armenia, kazakhstan etc) bangladeshi etc etc are also “asians”
This topic is not about wickedness of governments and regimes, and empires, it is about the politeness and niceness of people, also being law abiding and moral.
I can tell you that some of the worst people I ever came across are Russians. They are rude, cold blooded and heartless wild savages. They are aggressive and they discriminated me and treated me like a caged animal. When I was in London, people were also rude and stupid.
I have never seen a bad Asian. The worst Asians I have seen were only ones that are a bit rude, but those were ones that were British born. And they have less tendency of committing crimes compared to the rest of humanity.
Different countries different experiences. Over here people from china are very rude, they never say hello thanks or bye in chinese restaurants. Im sure regarding violence crimes such people as you deacribe them are calmer but checking cime indexes of asian countries you can see that crime in china japan etc is higher than in central europe.
Its honest trolling work, but I guess someone has gotta do it!
@MrDE don’t you have some pips to catch?
Literacy rate plays a big role here!
Doesn’t mean they don’t exist. Completely agree about other’s comments about your over generalization. Growing up around many Asians, in the US, I can tell you they, like most other ethnicities, have their good and bad.
These are the values that are passed thru generations and/or required by their norms and socio-political ethics.
