Again, probably types that work in restaurants, generally it's an inferiority complex that drives such mindless assimilation. You don't see well educated and successful Chinese Americans doing that unless they are 4th generation ABCs. Hard to pay for elder care with a Happy Wok salary.

Actually don't think that is the case. Majority of those Chinese working in restaurants live in Chinatown, don't speak English at home, don't send their children to private schools and don't go to churches,. Most of their children do tend to speak Chinese and much more likely to marry Chinese.

It is those educated and successful Chinese that are mostly trying to go to churches, speaking English only at home, marring Whites or other race, and going to private catholic schools.

It is only until the newer generation of Chinese that these elites who are mostly opportunists that decide China is rising and Chinese language would be a good addition to their child skills which is the sole reason why they learn Chinese.

WTF India?? Another new low for them. Literally the entire Manipur situation is being silenced, and it is literally worse that anything they accuse China of doing.

There are hundreds of such cases happening here. Only one video leaked. That is why the internet is banned in the state - Manipur CM N Biren Singh.

Check out this thread for more details about whats going on in Northeast India. Looks like a humanitarian crisis to me.

Ethnic Conflict in Northeast India

Since the most recent flareup in tribal violence in Northeast India is ongoing, I thought it would be good to post updates in a dedicated thread instead of spamming the other threads. Much clearer drone action shots compared to the conflict in Ukraine. The damage to civilian infrastructure...

I would argue against that. As a whole relative to most other societies, I do feel the US is about as close to a multicultural society as you can get. Sure, prejudice, racism, and inequity due to cultural or ethnic background will exist to some extent in any society, but in terms of general acceptance and treatment towards people of different culture/ethnicity and economic and social opportunities, I can think of few places where minorities have an easier time. Asian Americans in particular have it better than many other demographic groups within the US, and the average and median income/wealth of Asian Americans are the highest out of any group within the US.

Tolerance is not assimilation, and the last fifty years have been a time of abundance and prosperity for the US. How people act in times of plenty is no judge of how they will act in hard times.

We don't even need to go outside of the US for examples of how minorities are treated when **** hits the fan. Japanese internment, Muslim surveillance, Chinese exclusion, the list goes on. The usual counter argument that this all happened before the Civil Rights laws of the 1970s is hilarious because contrary to all the propaganda regarding rule of law, nothing in the US is sacred. Just look at how Trump stomped all over civil liberties, is trying to eliminate jus sanguinis, and remains the most popular Republican candidate for the next president. The fact of the matter is that all that's required to change US laws and even the Constitution, is public paranoia.

Hell, it's happening even now, as academics of Chinese heritage are being witch hunted throughout universities. When, in the next great war, Chinese Americans are thrown into camps, don't say we didn't warn them.
