American Pakistanis and Asians should be neutral in regards of the rioting and protests in America

[Oldman1]

Don't know if Asians can be neutral since 2 of the cops that were involved in Floyd's death are Asians.

There won't be a solution because the country is extremely polarized with little overlapping culture. The media is vested in dividing the population and will continue to use emotion to drive logic out of the equation. It will only get worse.

The protests will stop some time but the division will get worse.

The pandemic and the resultant economic shock has added to the problems being exposed by the current protests, and the run-up to the Presidential election coming up will only add to the complexity of finding a solution. It may get worse, but only for a while, but I am quite sure it will end up in a better situation at the end of the present cycle. Already there are moves to create a Federal standard for police conduct that will apply all across the country, including forbidding the use of choke holds.

I've been called chink, told to go back to where I came from, passed over for programs, and get glares everywhere I go after the pandemic started.

It's safe to say I don't feel particularly neutral.

unfortunately I don’t share your optimism. I think there vested interests here that want to keep escalating divisions and conflict.

It is okay to be despondent given the coverage right now, but I have no doubt America will rise above its divisions once again, better and stronger than ever before. I respect your opinion, of course, but we can discuss developments as they happen to see whether my optimism is justified or not. USA never has been, nor ever will be, perfect, but its people and mechanisms will continue to work to improve it, slowly but surely, as we have seen many times in the past.

sure. But unless the media and social media is also reigned in as well as reforming the police, I just feel like division will inevitably continue to increase.

The American way of social freedoms can be messy, but it always comes though in the end. Please be patient and give the systems some time to work things out.

Have to agree with you. Trump has created a hate filled nation where its never been as bad. Minorities treated like dirt, lies propagated, and being white is right.
Only a bounty or white supremacist would today suggest "things will get better". Trump has pushed an already fragile wannabe super power to a nation where no other nation respects anymore.

Sure but I feel like this type of attitude is more wishful thinking than anything else

Trump only agitated the other side and creates more division

Trump isnt the cause he is symptom of American decline and if you as White Nationalists he is actually to them just a ZOG puppet only to keep tensions at bay but we are fast acclerating towards more apathy or tensions in the future

I think some older folks here who have been here for 40 plus years have kids here for decades tried to just go with the system but America isnt going go back demographic wise this country is bound to have some racial conflict down the road not saying this decade but down the road (25 years) The Chinese,Russians,Iranians and etc are laughing at this country decline

I think even with all of the crazy things happening, American decline is kind of exaggerated because relative to most of the other established powers like Western Europe and Japan, America is not declining. It's just China that is rising very fast and overturning the balance of power. Without China, the US would still hold an unchallenged dominant role in the global economy.

What is happening is a lot of American angst and I think it revolves around the changing demographics of this country. The culture wars, the political division, the increasing toxicity, this all revolves around White anxiety about losing their majority status.
