web.archive.orgExactly why this anti-China narrative is so dangerous and causes more "go back to China" shit talk. Because people can not/dont care to differentiate between different ethnicities of Asia. Just like after 9/11 if you looked brown you were targeted.

What a shithole country

racists don't distinguish between asians, it's a good time to start planning relocation back to the motherland
53
I don't like the ideas of AmeriKKKans of Korean heritage moving to South Korea. They're not the most pleasant people to deal with.
34
but only the asian americans that are cringe will keep lying to themselves that westerners see them as american or equals, and won't relocate
20
Those Koreans from the unholy republic of these United States have a thing that can piss off South Koreans: maintaining unrealistic amount of optimism. I've seen them in conflicts with their South Korean managers from my old workplace and it ain't looking good.
20
I don't blame them, managers/superiors are universally the biggest bullies and assholes in Korea.
I worked for NAVER straight after iternship and graduating and the bullying from managers was insane, only in Korea it's acceptable to be abused by your superior.
There is a reason why every competent dev/someone in specialised area goes abroad instead double/triple/quadruple pay, less hours, no bullying. I was considering the same , however I decided to work remotely for a US company instead.
I don't advise any Korean Americans to work here unless they be a English teacher or work for a multi national where managerial bullying is not so common.

South Korean are just Chinese in foreigners' eyes.

Why is unprovoked in quotation marks? I suppose the NYPD assumes that the Korean diplomat provoked the attack by being Asian.
48
And i thought American's only hated North Koreans. But... the South are still Prisoner's of War.

Time to move the UNHQ away from the shitshow that is the USA
34
Why bother? Juat disband it altogether. Not like theyre of any use in this day and age anyway.
13
It needs at the least a complete shakeup. Move it to a more neutral country, kick France and the UK off the UNSC and give a lot more weighting to the developing world would be a start

The decay of the post-WWII order would need to go much further along before it would be possible to eject any of the major victors of WWII from the council. The reason it exists in the first place is because of that... USSR (now Russia), USA, Republic of China (now PRC), France, and UK were the original members due to the outcome of WWII.
There are larger and more important countries than some of the members of that council which are not included - like Germany, Japan, and most importantly, India, since they were the losers of WWII, or in the case of India, a colonial subject. (It could be argued that India was also a loser of WWII, having been a victim of British-induced famines, and their armed uprisings allied with Japan were crushed.)

Just shove the UN HQ into Antarctica or the North Pole instead.

We still need such an organisation for world disputes and the like.

The UN is supposed to have a purpose as an international forum. Only problem being the US, since the end of the Cold War has instead acted as universal hegemon and dictator, with all its' unfounded accusations, unilateral sanctions, and regime change operations.
The UN purpose is still important, though. Maybe it can prove it still is acting on behalf of all of humanity's interests and for peace and equality by relocating to a country that's not a fascist, racist shithole.
This isn't even the first time diplomats and their families have been attacked by racists in the US. Just 2 years ago cops shot and killed a Gambian diplomat's son.
If things were in any way fair or transparent, the US would be a global pariah.

Ideally, it should be in Singapore, as then it would be on a neutral, well-developed and extremely safe country, and be within a much shorter distance of the vast majority of the human population.

Results of "hate the government, not the people" rhetoric.
Now trickling down to all Asians in America.
31
I've often seen western expats in South Korea complaining (on social media) that Koreans are racist because they don't like to talk or socialize with westerners. These same folks won't utter a word when Koreans or other Asians face actual racism in Western countries like violence, suspicion of espionage, bad portrayal in movies etc.
24
That is true sadly. Also, they often compare and equate American racism with X Asian country racism to make themselves look good and deflect/project.
15
When it comes to Asian countries, I'd argue that the Gulf monarchies like UAE and Saudi Arabia are quite racist. East Asia doesn't even compare to them.
11
Of course american supported regimes in Asia would be by far the worst.
7
Arab racism towards South and South-east Asians is a dastardly thing. I don't think American imperialism has much to do with it.
3
I've never heard of white people getting attacked in Asia. At worst, we get denied service (mostly in Japan and Korea), but I've never heard of it escalating to violence.
5
This country is becoming an unredeemable hellhole.
21
Oops he forgot to tell the thug he is an American loyalist ally with shared Democratic values™. This little misunderstanding could have been easily avoided lol.

And remember, amerikkka is a country of immigrants.
Oddly enough I was thinking to myself about all of the Asian amerikkkans winning gold for amerikkka.
I admired how proud they were and how everyone is celebrating. I casually thought about Zhu Yi, Gu Ailing, and all of the happiness that everyone shared.
I then thought, what happens when they get off of the podium and are everyday citizens again. What will happen then?
Is this a new beginning in amerikkka? Will the tide of racism be be ended? Can we now raise our heads in pride and glory for all we have done for this country? CAN WE NOW RAISE THE AMERICAN FLAG IN ALL ITS GLORY!
Yeah, no, that won't happen!
Lol
15
What happens to Asian Americans after getting the gold medal and return to Land of the Free? Well this:
15
That can't be true. You see Asians are white adjacent and are on par with whites in the economic social stratosphere.
Therefore should be happy with the prosperous lives that we are allowed to earn here. If not we should go back to China.
Oh, wait!
Lol

If all black people started playing for there own countries in africa and all asians do the same, americas medal haul during Summer Olympics would literally drop by half if not 65%.

And as always,
the incident is not currently being investigated as a hate crime.

Welcome to Amerikkka

Even a South Korean diplomat gets randomly attacked by AmeriKKKans completely unprovoked. I wasn't exaggerating at all about Azn Americans getting assaulted or hit in the face in my earlier comments. Not even 1/4 or 1/2 a day can go by after my comments before something like this happens again.
So China is the toxic unsafe place for Azn people? AmeriKKKa is the real shithole.

Should have exercised that diplomatic immunity.
15
It's not unprovoked. Their government has been provoking this for years.
15
Cannot believe the US would sink so low into having its citizens attack foreign nationals with high level, important positions like diplomats. It looks like terrorism. Is this how you treat your guests!? What the fuck is wrong with this cuntry?
13
Can't believe how naive you are.
5
remember they hate the government not the people
12
What the hell, imagine just going about your day at your diplomatic job and being punched the face by some simpleton
11
racists don't care if the asian person they're about to attack is chinese or even a representative of a country that's unfriendly with china. and why am i not surprised that this isn't considered a hate crime by the nypd.
