Not trying to defend anybody but I don’t think @Ironduke deliberately used racist slurs. I mean, come on, most of the active users on this forum are ethnically Chinese. Is it wise to tick off Chinese people here? Our Screamer-in-Chief is Chinese for Christ’s sake. In the spirit of this thread, anybody with an “IQ” greater than zero would not do that to anyone’s face here. I can’t guarantee that they are not racist deep inside, but at least they wouldn’t be so open about it.
He actually used that term twice in this thread. One time could be an oversight but twice? And he was cussing China while saying that. I’m not sure about you guys but I can see through his intentions very clearly. Especially after the incident in which he complained about his home town (Foster City) being overtaken by “rich Chinese people”.
Number has nothing to do with it. Remember when Britain colonized India and subdued all Indians. How many British people were there in India and how many Indians?
All I am saying is the attacker (if there truly is one) needs to be mentally prepared that someone will get upset, which might not even be a concern at all.
It’s okay. I appreciate @manch for creating this forum and not having any strict rules. I don’t think we can discuss our favorite topic aka Chinese food if it is still operated by Redfin.
Everyone is a racist inside to a certain degree. That means we often use race as a shorthand generalization. As long as people are not too unpleasant about it that’s fine.
Is a specific case. The generic case is the median income of immigrants (legal ) is always higher than the median of the population of the nation because they are a selected sample (not sure is the right word) and hence have a narrower spread whereas the spread of the population is a normal distribution (kind of ).
