Where did you manage these properties? Everywhere I've ever lived, I've been surrounded by people of different races. Did you mange properties in some gated community or something?

Look, maybe where you live the brown/black people face massive discrimination and feel it, but I have friends of every color and they've never expressed any notion of housing/job discrimination. The thing is... I live in a red state, so I would assume discrimination would be worse here(following liberal logic).

That's just insecure people buying into a false consciousness that a few other people believe. The black person who feels victimized is guilty of the same confirmation bias as the racist who got robbed by a different ethnicity.

the discrimination comes from asian landlords in particular

the beauty of it is that it's not open discrimination, simply say something like "we have a few people that said they'd take the place first and they've set a date so we'll let you know on X date whether or not the house is still available" with no intention of ever calling back

In my experience, Asian/Indian guys are a little more open about their racism. The society they came from wasn't one of open mindedness.

Yeah, I get it.

I'm not trying to deny that discrimination takes place, but I'm trying to make clear that it's a very gray area. It's not white vs everyone else. Every culture has elements of racism in it. Every culture has certain privileges the majority are privy to. I don't think America has a big enough racist population that black people(or any other ethnicity) are being held back because of it.

racist stereotypes entrenched deeply into the mindset of society are not strong enough to hold people back, the value of talent/skills far exceeds any misgivings about character based on race

if you don't have the talent or skills however you're in trouble because only white people get to pass on mediocrity

I really hate that the topic for this thread has a "Part 1". The suspense is just too much.

It was for the best

Racist stereotypes exist for a reason, if black people want to portray themselves as unreliable ganstas then don't be surprised when no one wants to put their shit on the line for them.

I think that sentence actually made my stomach turn. Goal achieved I guess.

Trannies and other homosex abominations know they're not normal and deal with it like a coward, suicide for attention? Grow up, I can't respect anyone who takes their own life.
