      false my ass where is the mass media saying the racist beatings of asians, instead it is giving excuses oh people just do it because they are poor, bad child hoods etc..., not be cause they are asian and getting beaten by racist blacks.

      blacks can't be racist according to the mass media. worst of all most of them aren't even bothering covering it in the national level.

    7. So now we've moved on to generic unprovable mass-media criticism?

      In other posts you claimed the entire justice system failed to prosecute crimes against Asian Americans as hate crimes, which, again, is demonstrably false.

      rarely do they, so far nobody in philly is being charged and in sf(no hate crime charged).

      find me a hate crime charge in either places for those hate crimes. talk is easy but no proof. writing and criticizing is very easy, my grammar and writing skills aren't the best easy targets are arguments pointing out whats wrong with what i said, but show me the money where they actually get charged for hate crimes in those places.

      a asian life is not worth a black,white or hispanic mans life to this day, we have a "chinamans chance "another words no chances at all. thats what they use to call it. if this happened to any other group there would be riots like rodney king. but whites/blacks in power always find ways to say oh its not a hate crime.

      besides the beatings in philly, last year there was a gang of armed robbers only targeting asian businesses and people following them home etc... beating and robbing, they weren't charged with hate crimes either.

      Our double standard on race: African-Americans attack Asians and the nation yawns

      Friday, April 30, 2010

      By Jonathan Zimmerman

      If you live in or near Philadelphia, you know about the brutal December attacks on Asian students at a local high school. Seven kids were hospitalized with injuries sustained mostly at the hands of African-American students, who beat Asians in classrooms, hallways, the cafeteria and the streets outside the school.

      But the incident has barely registered outside of southeastern Pennsylvania, generating a few wire stories and little else. To understand why, try a thought experiment: Imagine the victims were black and the attackers white, or the other way around.

      The whole nation -- indeed, the whole world -- would know about it. The president would go on TV to denounce the episode and demand a speedy remedy. Members of Congress would eagerly join in, competing with each other to condemn the racism in our midst. And hordes of reporters would descend on the school to seek the inside scoop.

      Police searching for slasher in NYC

      Eyewitness News

      (New York - WABC, August 25, 2007) (WABC) -- Police in Manhattan are searching for a slasher, a man who walks up to women on the street and cuts them. Now investigators have a key piece of evidence, a sketch of the suspect.

      Eyewitness News reporter NJ Burkett is following this story.

      Watch your back. This is the advice to Asian women in New York City from the NYPD Saturday -- three women, three attacks, and one crazed man with a knife.

      "It's frightening," an Asian woman said.

      Women we spoke with had no idea but over the past six weeks a stalker has been walking the streets of Manhattan targeting Asian women at random - slashing them across the right forearm in broad daylight.

      The latest attack was on the afternoon of August 17th. The other two were on July 16th, in the morning and afternoon.

      The first attack was in mid July on 32nd Street in midtown and then the same day in Chinatown. The latest, a week ago, was just barely two blocks away.

      The victims were not seriously hurt but the motive is entirely unknown.

      The police released a composite sketch of the suspect. He is described by the victims as an African-American man 25 to 30 years old, thin, and 5 8" to 5 11". He wears a light gray sweat shirt with the numbers 09 on the back.

      "I'm going to be careful walking the streets," said other Asian woman. "I'm not going to change my routine just for a guy like this."

      The victims all range in age from their early 30s to their mid 40s. Police say two of the women were taken to hospitals in stable condition, while the other had only a minor cut.

      Police have no idea what this guy is capable of and when he might strike again.

      SAN DIEGO — A woman in Mission Valley was robbed and sexually assaulted in what police believe may be the sixth in a series of home-invasion robberies targeting Asian women.

      The woman, 29, was attacked about 11:30 a.m. Tuesday at her home on Reflection Drive off Ambrosia Drive, San Diego Capt. Jim Collins said.

      She had just arrived home after shopping with her 18-month-old son and had taken the toddler into her apartment and come back outside to retrieve some belongings, Collins said. As she was going back inside, the man grabbed her from behind and threatened her with a knife.

      The man demanded money and then sexually assaulted the woman and left. Collins would not describe the nature of the assault but said she was not raped.

      The boy was not injured.

      The man was described as white or Latino, about 30 years old, 5 feet 6 inches tall with a medium build. He was wearing a black jacket, jeans and black shoes.

      Investigators believe he may be the same man responsible for at least five other attacks since June. The man used a knife, demanded money and in all but one case, he raped, sexually assaulted or threatened to sexually assault the victims.

      The first incident was reported June 6 in the College Area on Montezuma Road. The second occurred Nov. 7 at the University of California San Diego's Mesa graduate student housing complex. Both women were raped.

      The third case was Jan. 16 in Tierrasanta on Camino Playa de Oro. That woman was confronted in her garage and robbed of cash, Collins said.

      The fourth attack happened Feb. 10 in Carmel Valley on Whispering Hills Lane, and the fifth attack was March 4 on Carmel View Road. In those cases, the man entered the homes through open garage doors. The assailant threatened to rape one woman and sexually battered the other.

      All the attacks happened between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. The man either enters through the garage or an unlocked front door, generally when the victim is carrying items into her home, police said.

      All the victims were Asian women between the ages of 20 and 48.

      The man has been described in each case as white or Latino, in his 20s or 30s, 5 feet 6 inches to 5 feet 9 inches tall, with a thin to medium build.

      The victim in the UCSD incident was able to provide a detailed description of the attacker, and campus police released a sketch.

      Police advise women to keep their garage doors closed and their doors locked when they are at home. They also urge women to take precautions when they are arriving home alone by making sure that no one is following them and being aware of their surroundings.

      Chink's Steaks (6030 Torresdale) is taking over Tugboat Annie's (901 S. Columbus) and opening a smaller take-out-only Chink's Steaks there in late March, says Chink's owner Joseph Groh. He takes over the property March 1 and says he will be up and running by the beginning of Phillies season. He may put in some outside tables. Groh says he's not too worried about any backlash about the shop's name, which had drawn ire from Asian-Americans several years back. Chink's was the childhood nickname given to the restaurant's late former owner Samuel Sherman.

      If you ever wish to upset Armchair warrior:

      State that Asians receive equal treatment.

      worse thing about this is, i gotten hit a few times and cops would state some how it was my fault or my brothers etc... even thought it was plainly as day it was the other guys fault.

      one time i got lucky real lucky i got into a fatal accident cop was behind me and saw the whole thing. i was cleared. other times when cops arrived in the scene and report always report back some how it was our fault. douche bags.

      thats one reason i quit driving the van, always some how gotten tickets for some things just aren't fair and accidents that isn't even my fault. yes alot of asian immigrants can't drive, because they never had cars before they came!!! but i hate it when officials don't look at the facts just some how state its our fault.

      A massive insurance fraud ring that staged dozens of car crashes targeting Asian-American drivers in Queens was taken down after a 19-month sting.

      The multi-agency investigation, dubbed Operation Direct Hit, charged 61 people and two businesses - including a Manhattan health clinic - with orchestrating fender benders in Flushing to fleece insurance companies of more than $1.6 million dollars since 2005.

      Scammers targeted Asian drivers because they thought they were "bad drivers [who] would be blamed for the accidents," officials said. Because of that, Queens District Attorney Richard Brown charged at least one defendant with a hate crime.

      "These cases will be vigorously prosecuted," said Brown, whose office teamed up with the FBI, the NYPD and the state Insurance Department to bring down the ring.

      "As long as there's a buck to be made, they'll go ahead and they'll take the chance of running these kinds of operations."

      Ringleaders paid their henchmen to wait for unsuspecting drivers to back out of parking lots or driveways along Northern Blvd. from Parsons Blvd. to 105th St. and then plow into them with a car full of passengers, authorities said.

      The bogus "victims" would then rack up exorbitant bogus medical bills at the Bronx Park Medical clinic in Manhattan, where ringleaders, including Yevgeniy Rivkin, Inessa Drabkin and Michael Mazur operated their illicit scheme, authorities said.

      The plot unraveled in 2007, when claims investigators at Nationwide Insurance found three suspiciously similar "accidents" in Queens and reported them to the NYPD, authorities said.

      The defendants - seven of whom are still on the lam - face up to 25 years, if convicted of enterprise corruption, insurance fraud, grand larceny and fraud charges, authorities said.

      i just check his post, he is one of the accepted groups in the american media and society. I rather be view as the ultimate masculine male than some weak guy who can't even play Chengis Khan but they have to go out of their way to find white guys to play. I'm sure al sharpton and the media would be all over anything similar that happens to blacks.

      hell law makers in California is trying to put down asian enrollment numbers in public universities. If that isn't racist I don't know what is, if that happen to MHA group, there would be a firestorm.

      Bill would allow state colleges to consider race

      The Associated Press

      Posted: 06/03/2010 04:16:57 PM PDT

      Updated: 06/03/2010 04:16:58 PM PDT

      SACRAMENTO, Calif.—The California Assembly has approved a bill that would allow the state's public universities to consider race, gender and other demographic characteristics when they admit students.

      The bill, AB2047, passed on a 44-24 vote Thursday and now moves to the Senate. It would apply to the University of California and California State University systems.

      Democratic Assemblyman Ed Hernandez, who introduced the bill, says the legislation is needed to address the education gap in California. Currently, the state's black and Latino students trail whites and Asians in college attainment.

      But opponents say the measure violates Proposition 209, a voter initiative that banned public institutions from considering race or gender in admissions or employment. They also say such ethnic classifications are outdated.

      find me a hate crime charge in either places for those hate crimes. talk is easy but no proof.

      You're taking two anecdotal incidents and using them to extrapolate a widespread theory.

      You need to find actual stats for Asians assaulted in suspected hate crimes but not having any charges brought.

      Because otherwise there are a lot of Asian hate crimes prosecuted. Asians represent 4.4% of this country, and represent 4.5% of hate crime incidents.

      Doesn't seem wildly out of whack, does it?

      you're using what i said, instead of what facts i said you should be presenting, anyway i don't have time for your antics

      the reason is they aren't actually care!!! if they did the numbers would be higher. every time i read on the news the da don't charge so and so as a hate crime even though any blind person can see it as is. but like i said, its talking to a wall.

      that asian guy who was recently killed by those kids near sf, they weren't charged with a hate crime, not a surprise there. and hell mark wahlerg for beating up asians and making one go blind, now he is a successful star and nobody remembers him being a racist or charged with a hate crime.

      point is da's have discretion and many times they don't care about asians. these type of things never show up in offical hate crime stats. if i apply those type of standards and stuff to darfur i doubt they'll ever even pass the 100k mark of deaths.

    24. As I said, Asians represent 4.4% of this country, and represent 4.5% of hate crime incidents.

      Doesn't seem like there's a huge problem here is there?

      Oh I forgot, you saw a couple anecdotal stories on the news, therefore there's a huge crisis that only you, as an Asian man, can understand.

      Thank you for enlightening me to a theory with literally no proof whatsoever.

      3/28/10 San Francisco Chronicle: "Ivy League schools' barrier to Asian Americans,"

      2/8/10 Boston Globe: "Do colleges redline Asian-Americans?"

      11/30/09 National Review: "Racial Preferences by the Numbers: Two researchers lay out the data on affirmative action in college admissions,"

      Ivy League Diversity Contortions,"

      by John Stossel

      Ivy League college applicants are not created equal, according to a study of seven elite private colleges [1] by Princeton professor Thomas Espenshade. Asian students have the biggest hill to climb.

      Asian students were much more likely to be rejected than seemingly similar students of other races....

      African-Americans who achieved 1150 scores on the two original SAT tests had the same chances of getting accepted to top private colleges in 1997 as whites who scored 1460s and Asians who scored perfect 1600s.

      Affirmative action policies are responsible. Espenshade found:

      Whites were three times as likely to get fat envelopes as Asians.

      Hispanics were twice as likely to win admission as whites.

      African-Americans were at least five times as likely to be accepted as whites.

      Shocking distortions like these haven't changed the fact that affirmative action still dominates the college admission process, and college administrators think thats just fine.

      Not to discriminate by race could severely limit the level of minority enrollment at top-tier colleges, according to a study by Carnegie Mellon University.

      A universal ban on affirmative action in college admissions could reduce the number of minorities at the nations best colleges and universities by as much as 35 percent.

      Would that be worse than whats going on now? Admitting students who run up big debts but fail to graduate and feel bad about themselves?

      If SATs are the best yardstick we have for college admissions, then let's apply it fairly and quit creating loopholes for favored groups. Every slot that an undeserving student occupies comes at the expense of a student who earned it.

      10/8/09 U.S. News and World Report: Do Elite Private Colleges Discriminate Against Asian Students? Students of different races have varying odds of admission to elite private colleges, a study finds
