1ºAsians are mostly succumbing and rather quiet about things they were thrown on, we were misunderstood by many like for example we always get jokes and puns about our looks, our squint eyes, skins and the way we present ourselves because our culture is far different from the west, eventhough we were born generations after another in anywhere but still we carrying around some of our eastern cultures and values, as for that we were pretty much grounded by the environment of how our parents raised us, it depends tho but mostly we don't want anyone to speculate and act indifferently towards us so we prefer just being reserved stay grounded and respectful to others BUT seems like people always been mistaken as either weak or being feasible, people think we're easy to make fun of and cuz we're just so quiet about it, they just keep coming on and on, verbal words are too shallow, later became name callings and slurs and stereotypes, and many think that we're one track minded, that's just so wrong, we just adapting the situation and making sure everyone and everybody is comfortable with us having around with them, but instead we were bullied by those traits that we have.. And to some and I heard this a lot of few times, they said we're just bunch of snobbies, arrogant and ignorant, that all not true, some Asian they just don't know how to mix around and some are prefer to rather just be left alone and unbothered....it's hard to explain because we may culturized but our roots are still attached to old ways, sometimes it is what it is, we're just like normal awkward people.... This whole thing happened because violence are ongoing everywhere one after another, it's so sad that America has to make a movement to trigger and remind people to respect one another and the fact that they don't understand that they have that power to inferior other people is agonizing and yet some feeling some type of way with this movement and offended by it are quite depressing is totally ill, cuz u recognize that pain and u questioning why it matter?? Guess we have to do a lot of work to achieve togetherness, cuz we don't feel that we hurting each other that much
2ºUnfortunately a lot of us form biases based on politics. Chinese are considered to be members of the CCP, Russians of the USSR, blacks Louis Farrakhan and whites the old Nazis or KKK. These beliefs are false but again how we get biases. Remember Pearl Harbor, we locked up Japanese. Going around preaching CRT etc isn’t going to help, it will actually make it worse. Education in the schools must center around equality, not equity. Old ethnic traditions must be eliminated. We must have a common language. Too often, speaking English seems like you are a stranger. Diversity in our society is great but diversity is a derivative of the word divide. Welcome to America, it is what you make it !
3ºI do not understand people who used the laugh emoji on this post.
Discrimination comes in all forms of life and we should not tolerant any of it. Less alone laugh at those who have been treated with violence or unequal injustice . We are all Gods children and no one should be treated in different to any situation.
I really don't know what is wrong with so many unkind humans. I pray everyday for kindness and to stop so much hatred. I'm so sorry for those who have been treated so wrongly.. no matter your age, sex or color or disability.. we need to do better.

THE RACIST GERMAN SHEPHERD AND THE BULLDOG
As I was walking down the road the other day I overheard a German Shepherd talking to a bull dog. I overheard the German Shepherd saying to the bull dog "You can't possibly be a dog because you don't look like me! Why, just look at your flat nose and jaw, your round head, your stumpy neck, and short legs. You look more like a cat than you do a dog! Hey, is that your nose or your mouth? Hahahaha! Do you grow the ugly nappy hair that poodles have? How can anything that looks like you have the soul, intelligence, and feelings of a dog? Who gave you the right to be called a dog? Get out of my sight you ugly looking thing!"
You know, people often ask how all the different races of men could have descended from Adam and Eve. But, in principle this is no different than asking how children with different color hair can come from the same parents who both have black hair. Just as some couples today carry the genes to produce children with different color hair, so too Adam and Eve, our first parents, carried the genes to produce all the varieties and "races" of people. You and I today may not possess the genes for producing various races, but Adam and Eve did possess such genes. Everyone knows that you can get a pure breed from a mutt, but you can't get a mutt from a pure breed. A mutt carries genes to produce pure races. Adam and Eve, our first parents, were mutts!
A few years ago a photo of the First Lady, Michelle Obama, was doctored up on an Internet site "Hot Girls" so that she appeared to have ape-like features. This is a horrible and offensive photo. We need to have a conversation on this topic now. Not long ago a team of psychologists from Stanford, Penn State, and UC Berkeley have reported that blacks are likely to be thought of by other races as being sub-human and associated with apes. Let's admit it! Many people, even blacks themselves, wonder whether black people are more closely related to apes because of certain facial features or other similarities. This issue needs to be dealt with in the open and honestly.
Well, let me ask this question. Are bull dogs more closely related to cats because they have flat faces and short legs? Obviously not! A bull dog can be crossed with other dogs but not a cat! Neither are blacks more closely related to apes! There are monkeys which have some very fine features and skin complexion resembling those of white people (Do an "Image" search for "Snow Monkeys" on Google and see for yourself). Does that mean that whites are more closely related to a Snow Monkey? Of course not!
Ultimately, all life forms on earth share varying similarities because of a common Designer who designed similar functions for similar purposes in all of the various species and life forms on Earth.
All varieties of humans belong to one natural species since all varieties of human beings are inter-fertile, and this is biological proof that we are all descendants of a common human ancestor. This is why the Bible says that God "hath made of one all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth ..." (Acts 17:26, KJV). The Bible clearly teaches that God created all human beings in His image. Therefore, as one of my former pastors, Dr. Carl E. Abrahamsen, Jr., so truthfully and eloquently stated, to hate a fellow human being who has been created in the image of God because of the way he or she looks is a great and serious sin and offense against God which needs to be confessed and repented of immediately before the Almighty.
Many believe that the Bible teaches the so-called "Curse of Ham" and that the black race has been cursed. This is not true. Such teaching is a major misinterpretation of the Scriptures and was wrongly used to justify slavery.
The name “Ham” in the Bible means “black,” or “burnt.” Ham, who was one of the three sons of Noah, was black. Ham was named “black one” by his father Noah from birth. In other words, black skin was not a curse because Ham was born black, long before Noah placed any curse. In fact, contrary to popular belief there was never a “Curse of Ham” because it wasn’t Ham who was cursed. The curse for Ham’s sin against Noah fell on Ham’s son Canaan and not on Ham himself. Canaan was one of the four sons of Ham. Ham also had other sons, but they were not cursed. Noah foresaw that Canaan would follow in the immoral steps and behavior of his father Ham and, as a consequence, Noah declared Canaan to be cursed. The curse was ultimately fulfilled in the total destruction of the Canaanites (Phoenicians) as a nation by the Roman Empire.
Nowhere in the Bible does it teach that black skin is a curse from God. Black skin protects from the harmful effects of ultraviolet light from the Sun. In fact, all human skin color is really brown. The pigment that gives skin its color is melanin and melanin is brown. Whites have the least amount of melanin in their skin and that’s why they appear to be “white.” Only albinos (those born with no melanin because of a genetic defect and mutation) are pure white and are in most danger from the harmful effects of the Sun’s rays. Instead of black skin being a curse it is a healthful blessing for those living in year round hot climates.
This article was written to make a point to all those who harbor racism. I hope that you will repent of your sin of racism, which is a great sin against God Who created all men in His image and has commanded all men to love one another, and that you will receive the love and forgiveness of God which is in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior Who paid the penalty for all our sins through His death and shedding of His blood on the Cross of Calvary and Who rose again from the dead to give us eternal life.
You see, just as a co-signer to a bad loan takes the full legal blame and liability to pay the entire debt on the loan so, too, Jesus Christ, God's eternal and only begotten Son, took upon Himself the full legal and moral liability to pay the entire debt for our sins.
The Bible says that Jesus Christ lived a sinless life on earth and that on the Cross He bore our sins in His own body and received the punishment from God (the Father) that we deserve for our sins and then He rose again from the dead. The Bible teaches that the penalty for even one sin is so great that we could never completely pay the penalty. Only God Himself is capable of fully paying for our sins and Jesus Christ Who is God (the Son) did just that on the Cross of Calvary. It was for us that Christ suffered and died on the Cross! Christ took it upon Himself to pay our debt. Because Christ took the blame and punishment for our sins, God (the Father) can be just in freely forgiving us of our sins when we genuinely repent and put our faith and trust in Jesus Christ alone to save us.

5ºIt is systemic. It is around the world. Esp. in white-colored human-dominated continents though not all the countries therein but they are identifiable. But there is always an exception to the rule. A kin was victimized by black female military officer in an international org where the kin was a staff and was subjected to harrassment until then suffered mentally and emotionally and that kin after filing charges administratively was suggested to go into early retitement. The kin's colleagues in the workplace who were predominantly white locals of that Euro country could not help any for that kin, except to the needed morale support they extended secretly as they were cowed by the influence of that black female officer. As if saying to the kin, "we, whites could not even do anything about said issue, how much more than you, an Asian." Racism indicates no color for the offender nor the chosen victim. It is systemic. It is committed around the world.
