Now you're comparing the Chinese to the KKK???
No, just the Chinese boys here.
The Booi Aha were under hereditary class-based slavery similar to Tibetan slaves before the Dalai Lama's ousting. It was NOT race based. Yet another out of context, irrelevant rant.
And that is supposed to make the Chinese version of institutionalized slavery more palatable than a race based one? News for you, bud, the line between class and race is very very thin and those who would make such a distinction to justify their bigotry have no problems erasing it when it suits them. The Japanese never raided mainland Asia for slaves but the full effects of Japanese culturally ingrained racism came to the fore in WW II and it was evident from Korea to India. You think the victims of Japanese racism cared of this distinction?
The next time any of the Chinese boys here insult the Indians for their IQ the Indians should be glad that because of China's class based slavery system, it mean the Chinese view the Indians as a lower class of human beings. As a Viet, I feel so much better now knowing that the Viets, the Laos, and the Cambodes are just a lower class of Asians instead of an 'inferior' race.
I met plenty of people like you, in real life and on line, who are uncomfortable of their racism, know it is wrong, unable to rid themselves of it, and too cowardly to be proud of it. So they resort to this feeble line of distinction between class based bigotry and outright racism to make themselves stand apart from the proud hardcore racists.
Are you serious? Chinese nationals, are under heavy government scrutiny and often under surveillance. It is a well known fact that the US government has actively pursued and prosecuted IN A DISCRIMINATORY MANNER those doing business with China for minor infractions that would be escalated to trumped up charges of espionage and treason. The
Wen Ho Lee case was one of the most famous contemporary witch hunts but his was followed by many others, most of whom plead no contest so they could avoid a potential for life in prison or death penalty for relatively minor infractions.
Qian Xuesen is the most famous example of American racism against Chinese where a loyal Chinese-American was arbitrarily accused of treasonous Communist sympathies during the McCarthy Era, simply because he was Chinese. He was driven out of America and ironically became the founding father of Chinese rocket science. From the 1990s onward, there was a noticeable decrease in the percentage of foreign R&D personnel working at American defense labs because they were under such heavy suspicion. This was especially true for Chinese nationals and residents of the former Soviet Union.
The question is: Are
YOU serious?
Here is your charge and insinuation again...
...indiscriminate surveillance, interrogation and detention of Chinese nationals and Chinese-American citizens for everything from politics to industrial espionage.
So out of your frantic online search, you managed to find only two isolated incidents in spite of the clearly insinuation, as highlighted, that Chinese citizens and Chinese-Americans were targeted.
As for Wen Ho Lee, I read his book
My Country Versus Me. What happened to him was a wrong and a tragedy but hardly because of some official White House or Pentagon directive to zero in on anyone of Chinese descent or relationship with China. When I say I read a book, you can bet your next paycheck that I have it and read it, so here is what Lee said in the last chapter...

CHAPTER 15
My ordeal is a wound that will be hard to heal. I'm not sure hwo to recover from it. At my age, I don't want to spend feeling hate or bitterness. It will be hard for me to trust people again the way I used to accept people's friendliness and kindness at face value. At the same time, so many Asian, white, black, Hispanic, and Native American people were willing to help me. I wish I could thank every person individually. I also know that if had been accused of such a thing in China or Russia, I would probably be dead. I would have been shot if this happened in Taiwan under the Kuomintang. The fact that I could be released after being so wrongly accused is evidence of the good in America. I can still say that I am truly glad that I am an American.
My family is doing the best we can, coming out of this nightmare. Chung is well on his way to fulfilling his dream of being a medical doctor. He had a close circle of good friends and classmates who knew that Wen Ho Lee was his father and kept him from being treated differently at school in any way. I'm glad this weight isn't hanging over my children anymore.
Alberta has gone through a metamorphosis, after spending a year of her life going everywhere and anywhere to speak about my case. She wants to be devote her life to make society a better place, so that this doesn't happen to someone else's father. She is thinking of changing careers and going back to school to pursue a law degree. I fully support her wish.
Sylvia and I are working hard to stay focused on the positive things in life. For the forseeable future, we are planning to stay in Los Alamos. For one thing, we think it is the safest place for us. We still worry about being followed, or kidnapped by foreign agents who believe what the FBI, the lab, and the government said about me and the "crown jewels" that I supposedly possess. Even if some Los Alamos people don't like what I did, they won't try to harm us.
The main reason for us to stay here is the warmth of our neighbors, our friends, and the real community we are part of. Sylvia has her places to shop, to hike, to do yoga. I have my work, my garden, my secret fishing holes where I can catch a 27-in trout, where I can find some peace of mind in the natural beauty that surrounds us. These are the important things that make a place a home.
This is my home, this is my place in America. This is why America is, after all, my country.
Instead of worrying about the FBI, he worries more about foreign agents, read Chinese, who would falsely believe he knows anything worthwhile. Lee pointedly singled out your beloved China as how he would be dead if the same thing were to happened in China. His children, instead of living in fear, continues to live as normal people, and willing to dedicate their lives to the betterment of their country, the US, not China. His case is for public consumption as an example of how a government should be controlled, not the other way like your beloved China.
And the
coup de grace is the State of Hawaii. When I grew up there, George Ariyoshi was governor and a white guy named Frank Fasi was Honolulu's mayor. Chinese-Americans were everywhere, from state to federal governments. Hawaii has Pearl Harbor for the US Navy, Hickam AFB for the USAF, and my family used to go shooting with the Marines at Camp Smith. Plenty of employment for Chinese-Americans and plenty of opportunities for the US federal government to cast its net. But the best you can find is Wen Ho Lee and his own words backfired on you.
I have no contempt for everyday Americans. However, I do have contempt for many US based NGOs which are nothing more than fronts for CIA, NED, Freedom House, etc, used to instigate, foment or otherwise stir sh*t in the target countries they are supposedly there to help. This is not to say that the individuals in such NGOs are guilty since many are simply useful idiots unaware of what their true usefulness is.
Then why are you whining about the (alleged) prosecutions of Chinese in America?
Why can we not say the same about this group as front and cover for the Chinese military?
I am sorry that you were picked on, but you should get rid of that inferiority complex and move on with your life. Better yet, stop hanging out at Stormfront and you will eventually get rid of this victim mentality.
No need to be sorry and it is
YOU who is having this inferior victim mentality with your loony conspiracy theory about the CIA.
