I Am Not A Typical White Person FACT 1: Obama's mother is a white American. FACT 2: Obama's father is a black African from Africa, not African American like Al Sharpton. THEREFORE, Obama is an African from Africa American and not African American like Jesse Jackson or his racist pastor Reverend Wright. FACT 3: No one in Obama's African family suffered from American slavery or the effects of Jim Crow laws or forced to live in ghettos and accept welfare fashioned by the white liberal establishment. THEREFORE, why should I feel pressured by the lily-livered white liberal establishment to feel obligated to vote for Obama because somehow as a recent immigrant Asian my community owes him for the past injustices of slavery and Jim Crow in America? An Asian American Voter wants to know. VICKY |

Whether Obama has African roots, or "African American" roots is not the issue. In my opinion at least he is different than all of the other "white clones" in the "white house" up to date. Not sure if he will keep his promises, or regain many of our allies, but he is a multicultural face rather than the same face. Not sure who I will vote for yet, but when I decide to vote it will be for the best candidate. We need a drastically differentm ,more diplomatic president than our current one. Thats an obvious statement. Write me sometime Vicky. Cool you are into politics. I see you are an optimistic voter who will vote for the best choice. As it stands for me right now, the choice is the lsesser of there evils. I would have preferred a business man in the White House. A man who understands budgets and how to get to the profit side of business and government. The Federal government is not a piggy bank for every group to run to to try to ease a few million dollras out of the top slot of the piggy. It is not supposed to work that way. Piggy represents national issues like the interstate freeway, not the state connectors; Defense of the USA, including the manning of the National Guard and Reserves, Oversight of public health issues but not the funding of public health programs. My thoughts for another Post later. Vicky

I sympathize with you on the issue of needing higher marks than others to get into schools. It strikes me as unfair. On the other hand I can also sympathize underprivaledged groups. Incidentally I think the ones who get the worst deal are natives, but that's another story. As for politics, in Hawaii where there is a majority(?maybe if you include filipinos?) of (East) Asians , I think (East) Asian politicians have been quite successfull. People find it easier to vote for people who look like them I guess. So maybe that's why Asians haven't done as well in this area on the mainland. So I think part of the solution is more inter-breading hahaha. So when are you going to start pumping out the mixed babies  ... hahaha.Cuddles

On, no, you are not a communist, especially if you live in Canada. More like a progressive or a libertarian. Unfortunately, in the United States, at least where I live, California, race is forced on Asians. We can’t apply for the best schools like other citizens. We have to exceed the standards to gain admission otherwise Lowell High School in San Francisco would be about 90% Asian. Alternatively, when we compete for public works programs in Oakland. Most of the business set asides are directed towards Black minority owned companies. As for mingling with other racial/cultural/ethnic groups, I do it on a regular basis. However, we are still picked on; after all, I wear my race on my face. As for politics, recently, a Congressional seat opened up in San Mateo and a well-qualified Asian was going to run to fill it. However, the party machine decided that since the last person to sit in it was Jewish, a well-qualified Jewish person should be the one to run to fill it and threw their support behind that person. Do I really care about class? I know some people do. The only class I worry about is how I am perceived as an individual. I would like people to say that I am a person with class. VICKY

I remember when my father started sending work overseas to be done because of the cost and quality factor here in the USA he was happy to tie in with a relative to start a company in China (my father was born in China). At first the workers wanted more time to work but in the end the longer hours worked (overtime) resulted in a decrease in the quality of the product. Since our product is very fragile marketing wise, it was important to maintain quality and reasonable production scheduels. It's worked for us for the past five years. We have to pay the extra premium because we need very skilled workers who can adapt to new requirments as we go from season to season. Also, our customers demand excellence in the quality of the product and we also have very short deadlines. But everyone makes a profit and everyone is happy. We can do this because we are not Walmart. Originally, my father wanted to sell some of our product to Walmart but what they were willing to pay was far below our qualityi production costs. You can tell the poor quality of the items if you shop at Walmart but the price is right.

Vicky, It doesn't seem you base you status on class, you don't discuss class that much. You seem much more concerned with your race. Remember Asians also contains Indians, Saudi Arabians, Turks, Thai, etc. or what do you mean when you say "Asians"? Do you actually mean people with ancestors from East Asia? Then maybe you mean "East Asians"? I guess I'm not a big fan of the concept of race, since populations have mixed a lot through the ages. I don't really think the concept of race is forced on you. I'm sure if you wanted to you could mix with a large variety of people from different backgrounds. It's interesting, in Canada race is much less of an issue. As for class, or whatever you want to call it, people's lifestyle definately depends on how much money they make or have. I think this also influences people's politics. So I think class is a reality. Do you think that makes me a communist? Unfortunately, in the United States, at least where I live, California, race is forced on Asians. We can’t apply for the best schools like other citizens. We have to exceed the standards to gain admission otherwise Lowell High School in San Francisco would be about 90% Asian.

The white liberal establishment likes to put people into categories in order to control people. There are two ways for grouping people, one is class, and the other is race. Liberals really do not like the middle or upper class, even those who belong in that category. For some reason Liberals do not like people who succeed on their own. The grouping is based on race or color of your skin or even ethnic background. There is the white and black category the liberals have divided the majority of Americans into. Then there is fringe, the Asians and others. Of course, we Asians subdivide our group into Chinese, Korean, etc. Now then, remember Asians as a group are new players in American politics and business. It is only recently Asians have been able to start running for major political offices and winning, sometimes based on strong support from the Asian community or based on the individual's own merits and success. Although many Asians tend to adopt the liberal political model and do well within that framework, Blacks see Asians as threatening their shrinking share of the pie. The pie shrinks because recent immigrant groups are making strong inroads in areas where Blacks once dominated politically but who now see that base shrinking. However, Blacks in general do not really appreciate the successes of the Asian community and in many well-documented incidents have taken their frustrations on their lack of achievement in a violent manner towards the Asian community. No, I do not see myself basing my status on class but I do see myself based on race, an issued forced on me by both black and white liberal political/social agenda. We already know about the Black perspective towards Asians but sometimes others forget what white liberals feel about Asians. Asians are too successful in achieving in ghee schools, therefore, what happens is that white liberals force us to comate in an uneven field for the slots available at the better schools and professions by making us score higher then blacks, Hispanics, other minorities, and whites. This is based on a white liberal goal of an ideal society where they are in charge of who succeeds and they are the ones who make the rules. Therefore, as an Asian in America, I have to compete twice as hard as other racial groups to succeed and I have to accept being subjected to hate attacks by the Black community for succeeding where they can't and from the white liberal establishment who wants me to play by their rules. Just my opinion and blowing off steam. VICKY It doesn't seem you base you status on class, you don't discuss class that much. You seem much more concerned with your race.

ICHIRO Thank you for a very informative article. Didn't Stanford and Harvard just announce recently they were going to raise the parental economic threshold limits so they could offer more tuition and living assistance to students from economically "disadvantaged" families? VICKY

Wow Vicky Lee, You should vote your conscience. Who has the best health care package, whose going to have the better foreign policy etc. Issues that will effect you as a person. John McCain ... well he'll do whatever he's told. Here's a guy who was tortured for real and started out against it and has since caved in to pressure from the right and now see torture and wire tapping as acceptable American policy ... he's a tool. Hillary is pretty obligated to big business. She's sold out the Democratic party. She'd prefer to see McCain as president if she thought it would give her a shot at the presidency in another four years. Again, another tool. I'm for Obama. He has some since of social justice. He's the least tool-esque of the bunch. At least he speaks about change and has actual experience implementing it! (Look at his record.) Don't kid yourself with all that Adam Smith- 'invisible hand', Grover Norquist "making-government-small-enough-the-drown-in-a-bath-tub', free market crap. Government has only grown in the past eight years. The only people its helping are the multinationals. If you think its gonna help you because your an entrepreneur or even a seasoned business owner. Don't count on it. You are gonna get played just like you have been for the past eight years. Its not about the little guy. It hasn't been for awhile. We are looking at a $9.6 Trillion dollar deficit (incurred entirely in the last eight years). Trust me, the only piece of pie your gonna get is your piece at paying that back. The bail outs have begun and they are the big banks like Chase not to you or me. The bail out is gonna be on our backs. The Conservatives run up a huge deficit and then expect the liberals to come in and straiten it out. Later they'll complain about how badly they were taxed. Well, this mess was left by the republicans and it isn't going to go away without taxing the S#1t out of everyone. So again. Vote your conscience. Do what's right. Darwin

Actually, we created a company that employes about 100 people in the USA and we pay at about double the minimum wage for the entry level positions. In China, our company has about 200 people working for us and again we pay much higher then the average Chinese company for the work they do for us. Have you ever created a company that gives people the opportunity to work? Why is it that people like you think that people like us make our money off the working poor? In America the poor are poor because of policies imposed by the liberals who do not understand how wealth is created. As for our family being rich, let me put it this way. When I was 4 I was cleaning vegetables in our father's corner grocery store in a Black section of San Francisco. When I was 10 I was washing dishes in our father's restaurant. By saving our hard earned pennies our family was able to start a business that in turns provides work for those who other wise would be on welfare. In turn the Black community who never even helpled us demanded give them donations for us being successful. So SMARTH MOUTH, what have you done with your life so far to help the poor? Not a DAMN THING except to mouth off in my blog. VICKY  =D%=D%

HolyCow..... Steve.... Shame on you !!!!! I Believe that you got real serious problem, maybe come from your background, You need to seek help. ASAP.... You are going beyond the boundaries. You are the bitterest person I have ever met in my entite life. Regardless your anger ,I am afraid that you may live longer than you expect in your dark tunnels if you keep talking nonsense. As I have mentioned before, NOT all the rich are rotten. My dad is very talented. he was not able to finish education due to his situations raising by a young widowed mother with 4 kids. he was a self-taught and was intellectually bright with strong will to learn to help himself as well as to other unfortunate people from different backgrounds.During his terms of many years to be the CEO(president) in what he had done, He had spent $$$$ and time to rebuild and expended an old charitable hospital that was almost abandoned . With his creative mind and wisdoms. He had transformed into a veryyyyy big hospitol and he had hired many famous local doctors and from overseas , he had not earned a penny coz it was a task assigned to him dues to his charity with $$$$ , he had done his best so that the rich could give to the poor. His industry with hundreds of employees who had worked for him was extremely surprised that he put himself to their levels. So as to those who worked in our house.He was very talented with eagerness to learn the industry machines. Although he had engineers from overseas to run it. He was capable to do the jobs if it is necessary.Even the VC had high respect for him when he was imprisoned. Instead of going to the educational camp, they had released him after a few months in prison. My family had done what is the best in USA,struggling at the beginning like everybody else, then come a life which we can take proud of , yet we are trying to live in low key.Of course, with the leisure and pleasure according to our budgets and choice .We dont go crazy with the whole package of credit cards like some people do, which make many feel rich and happy to live a dream that they do not have. With you smartie and your ability to read and write. At least, you can build up your future if you want to change your life so that you can make this world a little more shining to others. I am sure you can do it . Dont under-estimate yourself by crying over something that you do not have right now.I expect you to grow up right now so that you can respect your own words with principals in Obama is a liar?.Didnt you teach us about your writing as the battle always starts within yourself, BE BRUTAL. The truth may hurt at first, but eventually, it will set you free. it will cure all of your problems. it will put you on a new path, and inspire others to do the same within themselves .Now,you got to take action and stop dreaming .There is no miracle, but only with your determination and your willingness.... Amen Respectfully.... God Bless Rejoicefrance

Your first therefore statement: You need to state your statement in a better fashion since it seems like your comment doesn't seem to make you any better than Reverend Wright. I think I know what he tried to say, the problem was in how he said it. Fact 3: Does the word Apartheid have any meaning to you? Guess you forgot to consider that point Finally I don't think he's asking for your vote because of your pity for him. He even has said it himself... if he does not get the nomination it is because he was unable to convince the American people in bringing change not because of his colour. However, what turns me off are the people he has surrounded himself with. These are the same people who will continue the failed policies of womb to tomb welfare and of imposing their liberal views on those who don't want anything to do with them at all. Change Welfare? I doubt it. The Black community depends on it and the liberals need it to control the poor. Change the way it taxes people? I doubt it. Anyone making anything above the poverty level is rich according to many of his supporters. Improve business relations? I doubt it. Improve the energy crisis we are in? I doubt it. Can't drill for oil in the USA so we're still dependent on foreign sources. Want to put a wind powered generator within a thousand miles of a Kennedy? Not going to happen. Lot of things are not going to happen because his followers don't want to make the changes necessary to keep jobs in America. They need the higher taxes to fund the welfare system. The only change they want is to have it their way. Instead of working for Microsoft, why don't you start your own business and see what I mean. My opinion VICKY

Whatever... As an "outsider", and given the crop of current candidates for "the most powerful position in the world" I fear both for the future of the USA and the world in general. I (as an outsider) think that ChercheLeigh makes some succinct observations regarding some of the candidates for the current vacancy (a position which has been vacant for some 7 years, if not more !!). It seems to me that, as if previous experience wasn't enough, the American people are going to be offered a choice of a muppet or a muppet. And let's be honest about this.... God help any nation that can't organise an election properly anyway because of "hanging chads". I'm not entirely sure which of the holders of the post during my lifetime could actually have been considered the most capable, but what I am certain of is that the quality of the candidates each time diminishes to a horrifying degree. Maybe if America were to solve that problem then everything else would fall into place ? In the meantime, arguing the toss about which muppet is better than the other just strenghtens their own beliefs that they are actually worth voting for in the first place !! How did it go in the movie.... "None of the above !" Just my opinion. May your God go with you.

WOW! SteveZ sure does miss a lot. The debt I speak of the Black community is demanding from the Asian community is not the National Debt or the cost of the Iraq War. The debt is the implied debt the Blacks claim that anyone who lives in America, whether or not their ancestors even owned a slave, owes to Blacks in America. For their own failures since Emancipation, due in part to Jim Crow or the failed policies of the lily-livered liberal left, the Black community demands Asians give them our hard earned wealth. Hey, you want to get Ron Paul into the White House, do it somewhere else, but not in my blog. My opinion VICKY

3/23/2008 6:40 pm |
The massive debt does not come from poor or black people. It comes from the Govt. borrowing money from the FED, to wage a bogus war... and having to pay massive interest on the loaned money every day. If you are serious about protecting your money, youd join Ron Paul and getting behind his newly created bill to get rid of the FED. Every time the FED creates more money from thin air (and needs no authority to do so!) ... all they are really doing is devaluing your dollars value even more. None of the big 3 candidates have said anything about the Fed. And Mccain wants a thousand years of war... which means even more massive debt and reduced dollar value. The real criminals are in the Govt. Poverties problems usually are a result of corruption, and from crowded understaffed schools... (and teachers that are poor and could care less). Id be interested to hear what your Family does to be so rich. Usually rich people are only rich, because they siphon off the backs of the poor. Without them, where would they be? In China, our company has about 200 people working for us and again we pay much higher then the average Chinese company for the work they do for us. Have you ever created a company that gives people the opportunity to work? Why is it that people like you think that people like us make our money off the working poor?

I agree with you 100% that we should forget about the American past since we Asians were not here when the slavery and Jim Crow events happend to Black people. However, they demand that we Asians, who never did own a Black slave, pay in current dollars for the suffering of their ancestors. In addition, they blame us Asians for the misery in their neighborhoods, the fact they do not have successful Blacks to take care of their community needs, and so forth. So what am I supposed to do? Write a check to protect my family from their extortion threats? Do I really have to vote for a Black man to pay my debt to the Black American community fo crimes committed by the White community? I say history begins today. But I am still being given a bill by the Black and White liberal communities for crimes an Asian never committed. This is not a typical non-white person who is going to be playing with a stacked deck of cards made up of incidents we Asians never committed. Can I hear an Amen, please. VICKY
