Our opinions and perspectives are a function of our surroundings. You probably lived most of your life in rural types of communities therefore that's your perception. I've lived all my life in medium-sized cities. There are shitty poor people in both cities and rural places honestly.

But most of these crimes against Asians aren't happening in rural communities. Most of them are happening in large cities, and statistics prove this with some of the biggest jumps happening in places like NYC & LA. From my personal experience with Asian refugees as well as just living in the hood for 20 years, to attribute this bump to 'white supremacy' is retarded and completely disconnected from reality on the ground.

It has become ok to hate China and Chinese people over the past few years. Orientialism is back, baby!

its likely that people in general just dont like little fella thor. who can blame them? no one likes people who have unwarranted self importance and massive inferiority complexes

inb4 that users typical repressed frustrated homophobic retort


didnt take long for one of the usual suspects here to basically do this lmao

I'm just giving my lived experience. I grew up rural and almost everybody was poor, white, and a massive dick.

Now I live in a city, and I live around a lot of poor black people, and they're incredibly nice. I've yet to have a bad interaction with anybody, even for the first 9 months when I was taking public transportation.



Yep, I'm just reporting my experience. Not trying to paint it as universal.

When I first moved to the midwest, in an area where everyone was poor, I couldn't believe it. Everyone was so friendly. Like, everyone was glad to meet me. And I'm... Uh... Not false. But I'm very positive, as a defensive mechanism, yes? But it was genuine. "Hey! New feller! Welcome!" Not just from "whites" but from every race. It was... Disconcerting.

I would argue that if you go rural, everyone is more welcoming. Because new people are more rare.

Then again, what do I know? I've only lived in a dozen states, city and rural and everything in between.

I think you're young, honestly. You'd do well to gain more experience. I've been in the minority, majority, and part of the "hated group". But I've never had disposable income. Be poor for a hot second. You'll find a new world opening up to you, Thor.

I thought you were a white guy and had it in ez mode like the rest of us.

No, I'm just a poor guy doing his best to see to his wife. Nothing more. I've never presented myself as anything different.

I've been poor my entire life. The last 18 months is the first time I've ever had disposable income. I'm 30, so... kinda young but getting up there.

I lived rural growing up, and then lived in a medium size town, and now live in a large city. So I've had my share of different densities. Probably depends more on what city. I was told by one of my bosses that Salt Lake City has the nicest people in the country bar none.

The sooner people understand all races are racists, the sooner we start working together.

If you hate another race than yours, you are racist.
