Chinese racism seems so weird to me (all racism is weird). What do they think about white Americans? I get that there’s a lot of focus on school shootings, but do they know who actually carries them out?

a lot of racist chinese immigrants suck up to whites and will never question that they're good hardworking people, just growing up in a upper middle class chinese enclave

i mean you'll never hear these people whining about how poo poo for brains like kushner are stealing their spots at harvard; it's poor kids from little saigon and compton they're all het up about

I'd gladly add seconds or minutes to my drive if it meant avoiding Pennsylvania pothole clusters, bridges with holes, school zones, or any of the other dangerous / tedious areas.

That would be amazing just for stuff like "avoid this particular intersection because the light sucks" or "there is no visibility on this road" or "stop telling me to drive down steep hills when they're covered in ice" ... but you know people would just use it to be racist

ETA: Seriously, though, I was taught the thing about minority neighborhoods as a kid, and I didn't even think of it as a racist stereotype. I just thought it was totally reasonable for black people to be pissed off at my existence and that I would not be welcome there.

Many of them are classist and ashamed of being poor and reliant on others, fits naturally with white reactionary bullshit.

Evangelical churches also do aggressive outreach and recruitment of Chinese immigrants who fit their mold, provide them with community and assimilation help while encouraging them to vote GOP.

Basic science here, start with Punk.
Then leftists progress so they go Post-Punk (resulting in yer Gang of Fours and what have you).
The rightists regress and turn Punk into some sort of 50's reactionary fart.

Couple things with Punk.

1. Punk bands are generally only interesting for one album, and if they don't build on their sound from there they almost instantly become boring as hell.
2. Punk is mostly cool for blowing a hole in the music world, the really good poo poo is what came through the hole after Punk had ambled off. So Post-Punk, early New Wave and other awesome stuff from the late 70's and early 80's, 90% of this being produced in Britain mind you. Americans started this thing, but we barely capitalized on it at least for awhile.

I was super into this video and I sent it to a friend who is also usually super into stuff like this, and he pissed in my cheerios by saying. among other things, that: "I've also seen a bunch of reports that the dude who got beaten was not a Proud Boy at all, but was just in the wrong place at the wrong time and was actually in support of the victims. POC from Oakland have come out and said they know the guy and he's not racist, just white."

While I very much would still appreciate the sentiment behind the attack and sort of keep a "it's the thought that count" outlook towards it, that would kinda suck.

Does anyone actually know or have additional info?

Your friend believes random reports that white people get their rear end beat just got being white?

i agree 100% with this and also it's kind of funny because it seems like a lot of the early punks agreed with #1 considering how many post-punk bands came from the early punk bands

One of the reasons congress started attacking PBS funding in the early 70s was that conservatives objected to the “political” choice of setting a children’s show in a multiethnic city neighborhood rather than in the “normal” setting of an affluent white suburb. They were also upset at Mr. Rogers for having a neighborhood that was clearly in Pittsburgh and of modest means.

It actually was a political choice and an excellent one. We mock conservatives for being stupid, but their animal brains can easily recognize the threat to white supremacy wrapped up inside a television show that tells all children their lives have worth and that they deserve to be treated with dignity.

What Peter Liang did was an unfortunate accident. Yet because Peter is not white, he became the scapegoat so that some politicians can play the race card and claim the credit. Peter Liang IS a victim of racism. Not only recent Chinese immigrants stood up for him, "Chinatown Chinese" stood up for him, too. Because Peter is one of our own. When the people of Ferguson stood up for Micheal Brown, the people of Stanford rallied for Trayvon Martin, they were also against racism. It's not about "white privilege", it's about saving one of our brother from institutional racism.

The codifiers of Oi!, the Cockney Rejects, would kick the poo poo out of the National Front if they ever dared turning up to their gigs - actually stop the show, jump into the audience, beat them up (two of them were amateur boxers) and then continue the show - and a lot of the early members of SHARP were from that scene. It was also a really strong feeder into the two-tone scene (from where SHARP got its logo) which kinda gets ignored because of all the white-boy "reggae" bands that ended up taking over the ska scene afterwards.

Pub rock/street punk as a wider genre is much more heavily urban working class than the rest of the mostly suburban middle-class punk scene, and so reflects a lot of their really heavily polarised attitudes towards race and racism, especially in London and the Midlands in the late seventies and early eighties. In a not at all coincidental way, football firms share the same dichotomy between perception and reality - there's just as many on the good side as the bad, but from the outside it's easy to lump them all in the fash basket.

“Betas make no sperm,” a Red Pill blogger announced.

Daryush Valizadeh, who runs The Return of Kings, a men’s rights site, called the situation “a biological crisis” and one that women struggle to understand.

“Tell your editor to stop being an idiot and reassign the article to a man,” he wrote in a direct message on Twitter. “Then get in touch with me.”

Rollo Tomassi, another leader in the manosphere, who runs a site called The Rational Male, said the sperm count study last year was a watershed moment. To his mind, it showed definitively that modern society was weakening men.

“For guys in the ’sphere, there’s finally some sort of barometer to test their overall health from a historical perspective,” Mr. Tomassi said.

He said men who believe this cite the idea that there could be trace amounts of birth control in the water supply and also cite myths about foods like soy. He, however, prefers to blame egalitarian socialization. “We don’t teach boys to be competitive anymore,” Mr. Tomassi said.

...

“The way it works is, you collect your sample, you put a few drops in, and it spins,” Mr. Sommer said. “We spin your semen sample at 7,500 r.p.m., and when it’s done it gives you a reading of your sperm count.”

A competitor, the Yo Home Sperm Test, which was introduced in April 2017, bills itself as, essentially, a sperm microscope for smartphones. First, the guy collects his sample, then there is a 10 minute wait in the process.

“We have a very nice sperm trivia challenge on the phone during that time,” said Marcia Deutsch, the C.E.O. of Medical Electronic Systems, which created Yo. “I wanted something to keep the guys occupied and not worrying.”
