>They won hundreds of citations and medals, including the Congressional Medal of Honor.

 

>Now, the Chinese American Citizens Alliance is fighting to recognize these brave veterans and preserve their memories.

 

Let me understand this correctly. A bunch of Asians were treated like shit by "all men are created equal" white people yet they still fought to defend THIS country that was part of the 8 Nation Alliance that drugged China, stole Asia's gold holdings http://www.amazon.com/Gold-Warriors-Americas-Recovery-Yamashitas/dp/1844675319, and profited off of China's suffering http://www.amazon.com/Imperial-Cruise-Secret-History-Empire/dp/0316014001/] and back stabbed them at the conclusion of the war. But, "honorable white man" won't preserve even their memories properly. Meanwhile, psychopathic white serial rapists and mass murderers are turned into heroes by Western media eg Miss Saigon.

 

While honoring Asian heroes is important, there's a more important question to ask.

How does this help Asians?


I don't say this to be flippant. The Japanese 442nd battalion are the most decorated group of soldiers in USA history. They have names. Has that changed anything? Have American GIs stopped gang raping Japanese girls? Have they stopped treating Japanese people like shit? Have they respected Japanese sovereignty? No. In fact, they're using Japan to create tensions in the region to contain China.

 

I think the bigger lesson here is...

Asians must Inflict consequences instead of begging for inclusion


Now, we can't inflict violent consequences, but we can stop helping people who hate you, me - us - and then begging these same "benevolent white people" to witness me senpai. When will Asians learn that being nice to those who hate you is suicide? Our time would be better spent educating Asians to stop playing a game that was rigged against us with white racist hate from the start, where at best, we get a single pat on the head for sacrificing our lives. Show them the truth about these hypocritical, back stabbing "honorable white men", who use and abuse us. Some examples below...

 

Japanese internment --> The most highly decorated Purple Heart 442nd battalion --> no recognition ---> we are called girly zipperheads

 

Chinese coolies build rail roads, tunnels, misc infrastructure ---> Chinese exclusion Act ---> we are called tiny dick chinks stealing jobs, technology, etc

 

Dr. Qian made ICBM possible for USA and co-founded the Jet Propulsion Laboratory ---> racist witch hunt, assassination attempts ---> China and North Korea threatened with ICBMs carrying nukes.

 

Dr. Wu unlocked the key uranium enrichment so USA could make nuclear bombs ---> Japanese civilians got nuked twice and China and North Korea are threatened with nuclear tipped ICBMs

 

Robin Li made Rankdex which got a facefift lift later and became, "white invention", Google ---> no credit ---> Google is in bed with NSA to spy on the world --> we are called uncreative chink copycats

>we can guarantee there won't be rioting in the streets, coups, and massacres as a result of it.

Oh you can, can you? Where's your proof?

Oh btw, your country does that to other people, preferably to non-white "savages" who apparently, "don't value life like honorable mass murdering white Christians do" - that's when you're not even going through a recession.

Here's 2 positions that you could explore:

  1. "America's imperial past provoked the Japanese into WWII," more or less argued in IMPERIAL CRUISE
  2. "It was morally right for Churchill/Roosevelt to forcefully repatriate anti-Soviet Russians back to the USSR after WWII, even though it likely meant certain death;" referring to the Cossacks and Soviets holding onto Allied prisoners
