Well said!Why are you even injecting the word "denied" in this subject. I don't believe anyone of us expects a "free hand out" based the tone of our skin, the slant of our eyes, or the kink (or lack of) in our hair. White, Black, Yellow, Red, Brown, or what have you.Let's hear it boys, what have you all been denied. Who has treated you so badly?
Is that really what you think, dude? That whenever there's a racial discrimination that the victims are expecting a "free hand out" in restitute? I worked hard for what I have, which is not as much as others, but which should be more than others too. Just like anyone should. So don't belittle this subject into a matter of "free hand outs".
Didn't read some of my earlier post on either page 2 or 3 about my last visit to the Bike Show in Long Beach CA? Granted, being Asian, I may not have to personally endure as much "financially impacting" discrimination or as much "criminally accusation" discrimination as the black guy or the Mexican guy so I can't speak on that respect. But what do you think about mockery? Or the sneering comments? Especially during the younger years?
How can you ever experience it yourself? So how can you speak to that front? All you can assume is that all the minorities are lined up for "free hand outs"
Hollywood has done plenty of damages, as someone already pointed out. But there are a few good movies that may help put it in a slightly different light. Of coarse this is no substitue for experience, but talk a look at:
Hollywood Shuffle: mockery of actual stereotypical roles that the black actors have to play to make it in show business.
Malibu's Most Wanted: for fun. But notice the slight role reversal of the two well spoken Shakespearean black actor paid to play thugs.
American X: A movie about the making and unmaking of a racist? Notice when they attacked the local Korean owned supermarket. Minor part, but what does that say about your theory of "free hand outs"?
Dragon: Who doesn't know Bruce Lee? But who really knew how he came to be, what he had to struggle through to make it? You thought he was a instant sensation here in the US? Didn't you think he had tried here first but hit the stereotypical brink wall?
And to really flip the pancake: WHITE MAN'S BURDEN: Great movie, thought provoking too. Someone asked that question about trading places. What if??? Well, this movie did it. Well known actors, well written script and dialoge. Wonder why it never did so well?
