My thoughts on Asian doctor forcibly removed from United flight (VIDEO)

5. this was not random

IMHO - He was selected BECAUSE he is Asian and they expected him to be compliant according to stereotypes. He knew that and that is why he resisted. White people are so damn condescending to Asian people and what white people do not know is that they carry a wealth of experiences where they have been insulted and ridiculed by white people.

I am white and one of my best friends is from China. I can not believe how she is treated sometimes by ignorant white people. It has gotten worse since rump became prez. My friend is a doctor, daughter of a Chinese high official, who will drop everything to help a person in need, usually white people. She has antenna for helping. She will run off to help someone she sees needs help and I had not even been aware of it.

Over the phone, people sometimes make it difficult for her because of her strong accent, such as giving her false information (on health insurance), or putting the phone down so she only gets dead air. Occasionally she is told to go back to where she came from by old white ladies. One old bigot in the neighborhood assumed she was on welfare when in fact she supports her whole family. He still wanted to report her to the county for having insects in her yard (because she was pesticide free) that might travel to his yard!

BUT - everyone who KNOWS her - LOVES her! White people can be so stupid.

Thanks for letting me vent. It is just that we do not hear much about the prejudice that Asian people face - and that is what the doctor came up against.
