Common sense amongst all minorities except Asians, right? You are making a lot of assumptions about what I know and don't know. What if I said to a black guy that he wasn't allowed to talk about something or repeat facts because he was black?
And you refuse to address the point, which is that Asians have endured incredible racism but have somehow managed to thrive in spite of it. Racism by white people doesn't distinguish between races -- white racists are racist against everyone who is not white. The idea that racist white people have somehow gotten over their racism toward Asians but have retained it for blacks and latinos is almost too stupid to countenance.
No one is saying that racism doesn't exist, but the notion that America is just too racist for anyone but white people to succeed does not reflect reality at all. How does a black man become president of a racist nation? How do Asians become richer and better educated than most white people? Maybe a better question would be, how is it that after almost 60 years of affirmative action and equal rights legislation in the US, the black community is measurably worse off than they were in 1960?
Maybe the answer isn't handouts. Maybe the answer is to let blacks find their own level of success for themselves -- just as Asians, Jews, Indians, Irish and everyone else who has been discriminated against in the US have -- without any "help" from the government.
The issue is not you being white. I really don't care if someone is white. I'm not against white people. I've said on this site how I admire Zizek, Jose Ortega y Gassett, Jacques Ellul, Hegel.
Now, just for fun, let's imagine Jacques Ellul and Hegel lived in the same time period. Ellul was French and Hegel was German. Suppose Hegel wrote a treatise on "What is it like to be German" and talked about what life is like for Germans. Suppose Ellul- the French philosopher- wrote a treatise totally disagreeing with Hegel and saying "no, THIS is what it's like to be a German".
As a French person, it already would be somewhat ridiculous for Ellul to try to say what being German is like. I mean maybe if he took some real interest in German culture and really intensely studied it, he could develop some theories but he'll never understand it like a German will. If I want to know about being German, I'm going to ask Hegel. I'm not gonna ask Ellul. Ellul knows nothing about being German. When he goes to sleep, he's French. When he wakes up, he's still French. If I want to know about growing up in France, I'm not going to ask somebody who grew up in Italy.
It would be extremely boorish for a French person to tell a German what being German is like.
Someone might say this is racist and- in a certain technical sense I think it is racist. But it's reality. A French person shouldn't walk up to a group of German people and try to tell them what being German is like. It would be extremely arrogant and presumptuous for a French person to assume he knows about being German better than Germans know about being German.
As far as the Asian thing, as I said- Ice Cube was addressing it in like 1992.
Here is Atlantic running a story about the same thing Koncrete was talking about

The fact that it's news to you shows that you're out of touch when it comes to these issues.
Also I have no idea why you brought up handouts. I wasn't mentioning anything about handouts. That's a totally different issue. When a doctor notices there's a disease- that disease is objectively there. It objectively exists. It's not some illusion within the doctor's perception. You identify the disease. That is the essential first step. What you do about the disease..... that's a whole other issue.
