Should all the ethnic communitys learn from the chinese and not play the race card?

Question

If you were looking for a well adjusted migrant population that works hard, educates themselves and gets on with their lifes in the uk and for that matter anywhere in the world they have emigrated to you only have to look as far as the chinese community. Instead of complaining about islamiphobia which is a red herring to claim special status the muslim community, should watch and learn. The chinese dont claim special priviliges, in education, employment and health and you never here them bleat. If the parade of creeps that claim to represent people such as diane abbott or yasmin aliyah-brown were white they would be stamped on in a second as racists, yet these people grant themselves special privilges to spout racist drivel

Answer 1

Huh...I'm mixed race but never played the race card (neither did my mum 52 years ago when she came from the West Indies). Methinks you have been touched up by the likes of the Sun and Daily Mail.
Cast your mind back to the so-called 'swinging sixties', with Enoch Powell etc. having certain (caucasian) folk doing the same thing.
You say that the Muslim community should 'watch & learn' - tell you what, in the time I have mentioned, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis and even Indians was made to walk the line of the most hostile greetings by Brits...I remember the police in the main cities would not treat such wrongdoing to Asian families as 'serious'...but come the 1979 Southall Riots, and the Bradford distubances - not forgetting the current seriousness of 7/7 (and the official paranoia thererafter), it seems we have woken up to something which could have been dealt with 35 or so years ago...but hey - 'Pakis' were the easy target then, huh, with the elders telling their young to show manners and not to retaliate?
If your suspicion of Muslims 'playing the race card' is true, then could be they have learnt it from the working-class white folk in Birmingham, Parts of Lancashire and East London in the sweet rose-smelling period of the late sixties and early seventies, who decided to pour their 'Welcome to Britain' hate on the new immigrants on account of losing their jobs - or not having the wherewithal to join in the apparent 'party' that everyone else supposedly appeared to be enjoying.
The Chinese may possess intelligence far beyond western concepts thereof...but come now - they are not too friendly with neighbourly countries...nor to themselves.

See this is your first ever question - perhaps in time, you might get to read the other side of the story...

Answer 2

No, the Chinese just have their triads (mafia) and keep their murders to themselves. They carve out ( often physically) their own local areas, where the triads rule and keep the community captive - not participants in the everyday life of a UK citizen. They don't play the race card because they feel themselves to be superior. They are the Han. Back home the Chinese are racist. Ethnic minorities are trodden under foot by the Han. Two so-called autonomous regions of China are Tibet (almost everyone has heard of Tibet) and also the Uighur people of Jinxing (eastern Turkmenistan). These people are Muslims, their language is related to Turkish and they use Arabic script. Since 9/11 China has used the 'war against terror' to subject the region to torture and unjustified imprisonment.

Answer 3

i'm chinese myself and yet i have to say i don't fully agree with this statement. you only have to look at the communist regime to realise that china is ruled by a government that denounces public freedom and choice to see how the country has eroded and violated human rights. and i personally think its wrong to highlight a minority group in a positive light, whilst ignoring or condemning others. i mean, asians are given a rough time as it is and it is sad to see their faith and race being dragged in muddy waters because of the links made with terrorism and asians. i think all ethnic communities should learn from each other- not just the chinese, but blacks, asians, whites; of all faiths and non-faiths; and from all parts of the world.

Answer 4

The reason the Chinese don't need special privileges is because they have the second highest IQ as a race. (this is true, ask any anthropologist). As any intelligent person knows, you don't solve problems by complaining but by doing and of course the Chinese are the living proof.

Answer 5

because of the fact they do only not wanna admit they're being racist they're too scared to be immediately racists in individual so as that they attempt to assert have been taking part in the race card to look after there 'on the low' racism. i'm 14 and it occurs at my college all of the time!!!!! in the event that they weren't such punks they might not say that

Answer 6

Oh, glad someone noticed, took you a while, but your are right, the Chinese alway kept a silent integration. They are very clever people. I have been to China. They wil rule the world.

Answer 7

I think a person is like a book. I like to open up and see what's inside. I try not to catagorize anyone. A person is so complex. You could look at me, and think I'm a white conservative biggot. Nothing could be further from the truth. You can't judge a book by it's cover. How can you lump people together? Have you talked to him/her? Did you take the time to know that person? I write about judgemental & critical attitudes. I like to find out for myself who anyone is by discussing things. I might learn something.

Answer 8

Perhaps the Chinese realised years ago it is better to get on with running a laundry or Chippy than to mess about with race cards
Chinese are pretty astute and would know the race card is more likely to prove to be a joker than an Ace

Answer 9

well that's simply not true. what about the mexicans in the US? They work as hard as the Chinese and have made it in society just like them of better

Answer 10

Very good. To be honest, never really thought about it much before so your question made me think. I think you may have hit the nail on the head.
