As an Asian-American, I have to say that I envied the Chinese who could stay amongst themselves. Just saying.

- lonelappde 7y agoCan you expand and explain what you mean?
- lambdasquirrel 7y agogiven the downvotes I just got, the nationalism on HN lately, and the narcissism in US-centric discourse in general, no, I do not wish to explain or expand on this it is to the US-centric benefit that I should mention it, or expend the energy to explain myself, not the other way around
- p1esk 7y agoFYI, I upvoted your initial comment, but downvoted this one.
- hombre_fatal 7y agoWhy did you even add your cryptic two cents on this forum if you refuse to explain what you even meant? How is that not just pure, masturbatory noise? Holding your point hostage because you got a downvote is especially ridiculous.
- dang 7y agoPlease don't cross into being personally aggressive no matter how annoying another comment is or feels.
- dang 7y agoI think I partly recognize the feeling and the situation you're alluding to, but still: if you're not willing to post substantive information, it's best not to comment. Posting a vague and provocative allusion and then refusing to answer normal requests for clarification doesn't help the discussion here. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

- Nasrudith 7y agoThat sounds like the "not my job to educate you" mentality. If they are the one complaining about something yes it is their job to educate from basic communication alone. No matter how frustrating it may be forcing others into playing a game of Mao is not reasonable.
- confusedhnguy 7y agoSince OP refuses to explain, my uneducated guess is that OP is facing similar issues that people in r/hapas are facing. Not sure why OP got downvoted.
- strikelaserclaw 7y agoNot asian-american but i have read about their thoughts on things. From what i gather atleast socially, asian americans feel like second class citizens in western societies, no matter how hard they study, they can't rise in management positions (bamboo ceiling), men are emasculated in the media (leading to a lot of their women favoring people of other races) etc... I think this is what the op meant, in chinese soceity, they would be the default, and so wouldn't face problems in areas which they feel are out of their control.
