It's been in the media. A catastrophe occurs, and suddenly a cause begins, for Blacks and Asians.

What i've noticed is that East Asians get pushed to the side when it comes to activism compared to other minority groups like Blacks and Latinos. When George Floyd died they defunded the entire police department in Minneapolis and there were riots for months (really bad move but still significant). With all the heated debates about immigration issues from Mexico and Central America Biden heavily relaxed immigration laws. But Asians? Asians in the US still get deductions from their sat scores simply because as a group they achieve higher than average. When East Asians finally get some representation after a tragedy in their community there are people from all sides including other minority groups taking jabs at them and fighting for the spotlight again. It's terrible

It's terrible Yea, East Asians are out of the picture. It's all about Whites and Middle Easterns / Blacks. You know, some people died in those Black promotions. I could almost feel it coming or predict it factually. I know a Black lady drove into a White girl promoting Blacks and the girl she died. That made me very sad... Trump likes to show off and doesn't care what other people think. I don't think there's anything we can do about it except form organizations to help before it's too late and I'd love to do it. Yea, Asians technically don't seem very supported by Whites. You have some good thoughts!  I hope you like it, here.  I hope more people join you. |

Yes for actual unity to be achieved all groups need to come together, not just Blacks and Whites, otherwise other groups are left out and it leaves a very fragmented society. In 2011 we had something very similar to the George Floyd riots, they were for Mark Duggan a mixed race Irish/Afro Caribbean man who was carrying a gun (guns are strictly illegal here already) and was planning an attack with it. He wouldn't cooperate with the police and when they shot him riots ensued all over London but especially in East London where I live. There was a lot of damage done, people burned down businesses and the streets looked like a warzone Cheers and you too |

You seem nice People who live in London don't get that the police were just doing their job because he was armed and somehow didn't cooperate? I think it looks silly to run from a cop. Thanks! I bet other people would be interested in a forum such as this. Some mixed Blacks I think were on my case on Facebook! Gun laws were a big topic in the 2000s, I know, and it also leaked online, so to speak. Guns seem dangerous. We could use them if someone broke in, though. We could have stronger windows, cameras, etc., but a gun would be easier than throwing something at someone's head waiting for them to shoot us first. That's interesting he was part Irish. It seems very controversial. Of course, I'm maybe 45% Irish. |

In London there are CCTV cameras everywhere, it's a surveillance state and thousands of people who were looting and burning ended up being tracked down and arrested. I'm in a bunch of other tight-knit mixed groups on FB that I got sent by another member that would also be interested in this forum www.facebook.com/groups/1628931897144529/www.facebook.com/groups/482987161905786/And with you being half East Asian too you'd definitely like this one but it's a lot bigger www.facebook.com/groups/subtlehalfietraitsI'm all for personal handling permits but I think the requirements to get them should be strict, they're controversial but needed especially if you live in a crime ridden area. A while ago here a younger man broke into a pensioners house, the pensioner ended up killing him with a screwdriver and got arrested which is insane! People should have the right to self defence |

People should have the right to self defence I asked to join all 3 of those groups. Yea, I mean, people own knives and other dangerous tools. People even make their own fireworks. |
