Asians are too successful and don't complain enough and are becoming increasingly viewed as privileged. Therefore they are slowly becoming targets of the left.
@MicroBrew ought to feel silly allowing himself to get caught up in a controversy about light skin vs dark skinned asians. He should have seen how absurd it all is and kept moving. But this is what decades of unchecked racial propaganda does to a person and a society.
You know where that comes from?
Asian society being a face society puts all emphasis on education.
Study hard and be successful, and therefore, the culture looks up to education.
Fanatically, in many ways, but the success is overwhelming. They value the right things in that sense.
That becomes culturally dangerous and we do not like to hear it... but among the poor and uneducated whose families make poor decisions (to put it mildly), often for generations... Billy Bob out in the country thinks it is a grand idea to gamble his pension away, whereas a black American under cultural affliction might believe having a pair of shoes that let him "ball" better are the ticket to winning in life.
As cultural clans, as families, and as people they choose terribly and went with what was shinny and self serving instead of what was healthy. We all fall for that in some ways at some times in our life, but in the "lower" rungs of society that choice can be destructive in endless ways.
Lest we scoff and say "they had it coming," we better be humble to see past our own screw ups, or we're all a generation away form the same destruction.
As well as well, there is no easy answer as to what to do when Billy Bob decides to beat his wife for his own frustrations, or our young urban fellow decides to steal his sister's money for drugs.
I have an idea as to a first step though...
Encouraging any of that frivolous bullshit should be generally knocked off in our culture. That Bill Cosby was a rapist degenerate really did a lot of destruction, same with Televangelists who cheated and lost Billy Bob's confidence, it is all tragic, and we need good examples for good lives'.
