And can you really “mark” a blog like he did and diagnose the DSM IV with it?

And mostly, I despise the IR disparity because it is working.

What’s the matter with you?
Where are you getting this from?

Where am I quoting you out of context?

““Contrary to your belief and the response you intended to solicit when you typed your original “question”, I reacted to you because as I clearly asked…does that justify the IR disparity and make it okay and acceptable?”

Why do you believe that I’m trying to justify the disparity? Far from it.

“But does that mean that racism is okay and we should accept the status quo.”

Where have I said that? Are you reading my posts or someone elses?

Why are you quoting me out of context and putting words in my mouth I did not say or type. Or are you genuinely obtuse?

“You reacted to me above because my question implied that Asian men MIGHT have been capable of acting in a simularly way had the tables had been turned.”

Contrary to your belief and the response you intended to solicit when you typed your original “question”, I reacted to you because as I clearly asked…does that justify the IR disparity and make it okay and acceptable? You never answered. It seems like you were trying to make an ad hominem argument of some kind. Does it absolve Asian women who behave in a certain fashion due to certain impeding and unjust social factors?

I quoted, requited, and framed what you asked in the context of the black and white racial and social economic schism to show how ridiculous and irrelevant your question is. What is your ultimate point exactly? Everyone understands and acknowledges that all humans possess the same range of behaviors and motivations. But does that mean that racism is okay and we should accept the status quo. Or in this case, does it mean it is okay for certain Asian Am women to lack self and social-cultural awareness or act and make choices based on false beliefs driven by an oppressive society?

“But you have yet to admit that it is possible that you are capable of the same behaviors that you are denouncing. Is this what you truly believe?”

Again I have addressed this more than plenty already and even in this very post. And if you don’t understand my point, then I don’t know what to say. It baffles me a little why you are trying so hard to get an admission? And just the way you have worded your puzzling inquiry is kinda off as well.

So let me try to address your question as if you had phrased them differently and as if you had asked a different question all together for the reasons I have pointed out. To discuss the parallel universe you were trying to articulate, we would have to actually define that parallel universe. There would be new variables and many existing variables would be different between the two universes. And in order to understand these variables, we must understand why Asian Am women in the current universe limit themselves to certain choices. From there, we can evaluate whether those reasons are applicable to Asian Am men in this parallel universe. So, yes maybe there is a gender difference which I would argue is due to certain current social constructs and not due to something that is genetically ingrained based solely on gender.

King, I think for the most part you try to view arguments or issues from many angles which is a good thing. And I have always appreciated your perspective and the way you call out flaws in other people’s logic. However, in this instance I just don’t understand what kind of point you were trying to make with your ad hominem question. It misses the mark, trivializes the issue, and it distracts from the focus of the main issue. I just don’t think it is very relevant.

When someone says that you “MAY” concede a point, it does not imply that you MUST. If you don’t, then you don’t.

What I was pointing out was that it’s easy to look at this problem as if it’s some wierd case of Asian women being somehow different than women of other ethnicities, and even different from Asian men, in how they might deal with the attention and advances of the dominant culture.

You reacted to me above because my question implied that Asian men MIGHT have been capable of acting in a simularly way had the tables had been turned.

You then turned the tables on me, and asked if I felt the same way about Blacks, Whites and Slavery, had the tables been turned! But I did feel the same way. In fact, I readily admitted that Black people were as capable of prejudice, ignorance, and attrocities as anybody else.

But you have yet to admit that it is possible that you are capable of the same behaviors that you are denouncing. Is this what you truly believe? That you could never act like that? You would not act in self-interest? You would be stronger than that? I wonder why do you believe this?

Is it because you are better? More moral? Are you religious?

It’s ingenious, innovative, and sure to bring an end to that acrimonious gender division in the community.

It’s HAWT Asian male-female action like you’ve never seen.

@King,

Why do I personally need to concede anything? I have never said that the issue was somehow caused by something genetically ingrained in Asian females. Furthermore, you are missing the point. Who cares about whether the shoe is on the other foot. There is still a wrong and issue that needs to be fixed, just like the regular type of racism…it doesn’t matter who benefits. So don’t make irrelevant, blanket statements that do not address the main issue but rather cast personal judgments on those who lean towards one side or the other on the issue.

“Actually, no, I don’t.

I don’t assume that a change in pymentation would change the way power and oppression works on human beings, regardless their culture. The White man is no more a genetic or cultural “Devil” than the Black man, or any man.

Why… what were you expecting?”

I agree. I was being fecitious, but that was my point. What were YOU expecting when you asked that? Does it justify anything and address the issue?

Larry King? What?
