That's the wrong thing to do. What you've gotta do is whip their ass and not let up, then they'll respect you forever. It's Asian culture. Mercy is a sign of weakness to them.

Just like the Japanese... we had to nuke them to win the war. Once we did that, though, they treated Macarthur like a god for years.

I guess what I'm saying is those cultures only really understand and respond to strength. They're not like us.

I was trying to make the point that Hawaii is another area where whites feel discrimination.

Do you REALLY need to have your signature in enormous bold type? It's very distracting.

Anywhere whites are a minority you'll feel discrimination. That's human nature, to gang up on the minority. Mostly because everyone wants to belong to a group.

I lived in South America as a teenager, and I'm over 6' tall and white, and stuck out like a sore thumb being whiter and a head taller than everyone else. I was most certainly the victim of racism time and again, and I was even attacked by a mob one time.

It's human nature to gang up on the outsider.

I've had the same experience in Central America, and am also well over 6' and white.

I didn't mind at all when people treated me in a negative way because of my color. What hurt far more was when they treated me in a superior way for the same reason.
 
Is that the Japanese doing it or the native Hawaiians (whatever they call themselves)?

I've heard the natives aren't too fond of us.

The Hawaiians are referred to as Mokes. Both the Hawaiians and the white (hollies) use the term. It's not a derogatory term no matter what the PC words police say.

Hawaiians refer to whites as hollies. (spelled many different ways, holly, haloe, halie, Hollie,)

Back in the 70's some white beard scratching PC liberal tried to classifie both terms as being politically incorrect. Some Moke beat the crap out of him and put him on a Continental airlines flight and sent him back to the mainland.

Back during the 60's and even the 70's one could travel to Hawaii and live on the beach. But it was common at night for the Mokes to beat the crap out of any hollies they found sleeping on the beach.

Mokes are very territorial about their waves. They were known as the original surf nazis before it became common on the Southern California coast during the late 70's.

Rule of thumb to get on the good side with the Mokes, offer them a can of Spam.

Yeah that happened to me too, but I rather like being treated in a superior way, I thought that was pretty cool.

Canned spam, huh? I'll remember that if I ever go back to Hawaii.

At first, yes, but it wears off rather quickly. I like the lessons of "If" by Kipling.

I remember the first time I traveled to the Islands. Summer of 67. I was just 17. A short six weeks of surfing and living on the beach.

I don't count when I was in the military.

The second time as a civilian I think was in 73 or 74. $99. one way ticket with forty bucks in my pocket, my board and a ditty bag with a change of clothing and also something that the Mokes wanted that would earn me some pocket money.
The first pizza I had on Oahu was a Hawaiian pizza. No pineapple, that's was a mainland invention. The topping was Spam.

By 1970 corporate America was in process of destroying "Paradise" by building high rise hotels all along the beaches. The Islands were being turned into a tourist trap. No wonder why the Mokes hate us.

The world is full of virgin islands. Development is a lot more rare. Really Hawaii has benefitted a ton from being part of the United States, something they entered in to willingly and on their own accord.

I don't think the "Mokes" have much reason to hate whites, I just get the impression they're generally tough guys, kind of like the Maori in New Zealand are tough guys. May just be a Polynesian thing.

Waikiki Beach benefited big time from the mainland. Most of that sand is from Manhattan Beach in Southern California, shipped and barged from the west coast to Hawaii during the 1920's.

I believe the Polynesians are considered to be a warrior people like Northern Europeans. The Maori's are bad ass and are excellent soldiers on the battlefield even today.

The Hawaiians made excellent sailors. Considered equals to Brits, Americans, Dutch, German and Scandinavians. They were highly respected and in demand on American and British ships during the era of sail. Back then the Hawaiian Islands were called the Sandwich Islands.

That's interesting. I lived in Miami for the longest time and whenever they needed to replenish the beaches out there they would just drag the bottom a few hundred yards out and bring up fresh sand.

That's crazy to me that they would import sand all the way from California, and that it would still be there 100 years later. You would think it would have all eroded away by now.

Here the scoop on the sand.

So where does Waikiki Beach’s sand come from?

>"We’ve heard countless stories and urban legends about sand being shipped over from all over the world to replenish Waikiki’s famous stretch of beaches. It turns out Waikiki’s sand comes from … (insert dramatic pause for effect) … Hawaii!

Even more interesting? The majority of Waikiki sand actually comes from just offshore.

“The benefit of using localized sand is compatibility,” says Sam Lemmo, of the Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources’ Office of Conservation and Coastal Lands. Using sand similar in color and structure not only benefits Waikiki Beach aesthetically and environmentally, it also maintains the beach’s integrity from an engineering standpoint, Lemmo adds.

Erosion and rising sea levels have swallowed a foot of Waikiki Beach annually since 1985. This phenomenon, while accelerated in the last few decades, is nothing new. Reports from the 1920s and 1930s reveal that sand was brought in from Manhattan Beach, California, via ship and barge, to Waikiki Beach. Importation of sand into Hawaii ceased in the 1970s.

Recently, sand has been pumped from neutral areas of the ocean floor some 2,000 feet off Waikiki to fill in the shrinking beach..."< continue -> Where's the beach?

Straw Man Logical Fallacy.



More like a pretty solid theory... people vote for what helps them. Fact.



Safety net? That helps make my theory. Thanks... and I admit that the Republican party is against most that liberals believe in, why wouldn't I? The Democrats are against most that conservative believe in. So what?



Except I gave evidence. :roll:

Why else would poor vote Democrat than to benefit from social welfare programs! :lol:



Why else would poor people vote Democratic?? Why do more women vote Democratic? Are they all dependent on social welfare programs? Why do more young people vote Democratic? They all benefit too? Your "theory" is based on prejudice and ignorance....

I guess what I'm saying is those cultures only really understand and respond to strength. They're not like us. We're raised on mercy because we have Christian roots and that's the core of Christianity. They don't have that, so you have to have a firm hand when dealing with them.



What a crock of **** and ignorance...
 
Of course it was a great answer, the only answer in fact...

Asian culture is different from Western culture. And why wouldn't it be? We have thousands of years of differing tradition.

The West is founded on a Christian tradition that, at its core, values mercy. "Turn the other cheek," etc.

The East is not grounded in that same tradition.

Likewise, they don't have our tradition of challenging authority.

In fact, if you know anything about the history of China, for example, it's remarkably authoritarian and its leaders ruled with a brutal iron fist. In imperial China, you knew your place and you didn't dare speak against the higher-ups.

In fact, as recently as WW2, Japan had an emperor who was believed by the Japanese to be divine.

So my point - the Asian cultures have a heritage of deferring to and respecting authority and power above anything else. Therefore, the most effective way of dealing with them is with a strong hand.

No, your point seemed to be that only Christians are capable of mercy, kindness and compassion.......The Japanese are Shinto or Buddhist and are full of mercy and compassion....Who do you think revolted and dismantled the Mandarin societies and then revolted again to form a new government in China? They made challenging authority a way of life for over 80 years...The Thai people are challenging authority at this very moment...

I didn't say that only Christians are capable of mercy, that's obviously not true and ironically enough, Jesus Himself taught us that people of other faiths can be just as merciful or "good" (the parable of the good samaritan).

My point was we have our heritage, which is Christian, and they have theirs. You can't deny that our traditions and heritages shape who we are culturally today.

I've read a little bit of Confucius, who I consider to be the most important thinker in Chinese history. He himself said 'By nature men are similar; by practice men are wide apart.'

That much is very true. If you take the belies of Confucius and the beliefs of Christ and compare them, you'll find several similarities but also several differences... the scope of which is beyond this simple post.

The upshot, though, at least in my own opinion, is that the West has come to value individualism and free thought whereas the East puts greater emphasis on education and respect for authority.
 
The only place I've ever really seen anti-white racism is in sports.

Or in Japan. But that doesn't count because this message board is 'merican.

Just go to a democrat convention or rally - you'll see plenty.

Shoot, the leftists even changed the ethnicity of George Zimmerman, so it would be cool to hate him.

Yes, but anti-white racism is institutional. We have laws to penalize whites for the color of their skin, laws promoted and supported by leftists.

You assign false motive to those laws. They are to increase diversity and thereby improve schools.

What? :lol: I vote Democrat sometimes too. Your conclusion is nothing more than stupid.

Our heritage depends on where we were born and/or where our parents were born.. We are not all Christians and some of us respect authority and some of us don't.... Our country is made up of diversity....
