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

[Thamizh Puli]

Problem is that even though most people are rational and fair, these are forces way bigger than us. So yeah we can put our 2 cents in and say and do the right things in our lives but ultimately these things are beyond our control. There are organized groups in society with deep resources and they are vested in fomenting chaos and division, they profit from it.

So if you are a real American, go practice your second amendment rights and arm up. You might need it. https://www.kimberamerica.com/media/catalog/category/Micro9_2Tone_TILE.png

some will bear arms and some won't. it's up to the individual. It is called a 'right' to bear arm not 'duty' to.

You'd be a dummy not to though. Don't say I didn't warn you bro.

Only dummies can only think in Black and White.

Supporting justice for George Floyd /= Wanton looting and destruction of people and property completely unrelated to the incident

Especially as Asians, both East and South Asians, we can't pretend to be color blind and not realize that this incendiary and combustible environment puts us uniquely in a very dangerous situation.

Read what I said.

I never equated righteous justice to criminal thugs. There are people like myself who want real legal justice for George Floyd. People who want real legal justice for George Floyd have nothing to do with these criminal thugs who are taking advantage of the situation by burning and looting the city. Thugs hijacked a real cause into an excuse to cause destruction.

I condemn both the police who choked George Floyd and I also condemn the violent criminal thugs who are looting and burning the city. I support strong legal justice for George Floyd.

I agreed with you bro, I was only reiterating what you said.

 

[Aspen]

I understand the looting part. However his death proves that peaceful protests haven't worked.

If I was one of the owners of a business that got looted and burned last night, I would not agree that violent protests are the solution.

Thanks for clarification

I think we can all agree the rioting and looting is counter-productive and must be condemned. I support police in cracking down on this violent and criminal behavior. There is no justification for this behavior.

There are good cops and bad cops. Hate to say it but its true.

Police who choked George Floyd are murderers and should serve prison time. What these police officers did is morally condemnable and there is no excuse for it.

There are also good police who are enforcing law and order by cracking down with an iron fist on criminal thugs looting and burning the city. I support these police in arresting these thugs and protecting the city and local businesses.

I think you are basically expanding my point, is we will be attacked by both sides White and Black as we neither and yes its ridiculous that response in some parts of this country have been sub par so much for America being a "beacon of security"

Whether you like it or not Pakistanis and most Asian immigrants have thrown their lot with White society

Not really. Maybe economically but socially Asians are very much excluded by Whites.

why do Asian immigrants come to America ? Definitely not for social reasons

True. But it doesn't change the fact that they are socially excluded. A lot of Asian immigrant parents don't understand their kids because of this reason.

I agree most of us or our parents came for economic reasons but the US made it attractive cause you needed "cheap labor" and "minds" to counter the ebil Soviets and Communists

whatever the reasons immigration has become an economic force

I can try to stay natural until they burn down the market down my street. I support reigning in the police but the burning and looting has to stop.

You either support racism or you don't - there isn't a middle ground here.

Most White Americans are not racists.
Most American racists are white.

Most racist Americans in positions of power are nearly always white.

#blacklivesmatter is not about stopping Timmy joining the klan, it's about making sure the judges, police officers and state provided attorneys are not klan members.

Anyone who isnt a white man and thinks this treatment is reserved for black people only will likely get a reality check. They just haven't gotten around to you yet.

 

[Hamartia Antidote]

I would agree with you but reality is if we let these thug rioters destroy, loot, and burn businesses, it is going to impact a lot of Pakistanis who own these businesses as well as other Asian immigrant groups who depend on these businesses to make a living. It also includes the Pakistanis and Asian immigrant groups who shopped at stores that have now been looted so they cannot get what they need.

The guy who owned the store which called the cops on George Floyd for passing counterfeit money was Palestinian. So I'm sure there were also other store owners in the area like him.

Colored people must unite. I say let the 'Hong Kong virus' spreads to every city in America. America has its work cuts out for itself, they don't have the time to mess with other countries and that's good for the rest of the world.
