Do certain asian american groups benefit from honorary whiteness?

9 Comments

As an Asian American of Chinese decent I've noticed that certain Asian ethnic groups tend to "get along" more with the majority of white Americans. They have successfully assimilated to certain extents be it professionally, socially, and even maritally . I come from a suburb in north California heavily mixed with Chinese Americans, Korean Americans, and Caucasians. There appears to be a visible harmony between the various ethnic groups which is uncommon with other Asian ethnic groups which led me to following curiosity. Do certain Asian ethnic groups benefit from white privilege or honorary whiteness?

    I am white and I don't feel like it is an honor.

    No, they benefit from having family minded and hard working cultures in general. You will find people that want to be decent and improve themselves tend to get on with each other.

    People that want to take no responsibility for certain other cultures and try to make everything a racial issue are the ones that have to overlay a "white privilege" element on these Asians so that their literally black and white worldview continues to make sense.

    I think the Japanese are a perfect example. Many Anglos are fascinated with their culture.

    That is for the reason the US is in love with Asia.

    Unfortunately, I notice Asians try too hard to be white, actually harder than other races.

    Stupid roundeyes will pay for their lack of vigilance.
