East Asian Anti-Semitism

It's hard to talk about something that does not make sense. To me, it makes no sense why East-Asians should be Anti-Semitic, but they are. My uncle is envious of Jews. They have alot more power than South Koreans. He does not know how they did it. In the Korean Bible Study Group that I go to every Friday, one man whom I highly respect often talks about how arrogant Jews are and how 30% of Nobel Prize winners are Jews. This is not really Anti-Semitism... Jews have chutzpah... Jews are highly intelligent... but this kind of thinking can lead to Anti-Semitism. The Korean man whom I highly respect thinks the flame or light of God is passing to South Korea or East Asia... I really don't think so. There are some Koreans who would argue that Koreans are the Chosen People. If Koreans want to be the chosen people, they should expect to be scapegoated and also, they should expect that everyone has a death-wish against them. Being a unique, highly differentiated and diverse people like the Jews means that everyone has a death wish against you. Why? You are in the center of being... you've won the Darwinian contest and flowered in the surroundings that makes success most possible and God graces you with his radiance. Sometimes I think that Michael Porter books are just the application of Darwinian Principles to the business world. To continue, some East Asians believe that American Universities, the Media, and Hollywood control America. Asians are always counting the percentages and the high number of Jews in Academia and other areas proves that Jews control America. I've also talked to some Americans who believe this. When I think about this, I really wonder if some intelligent Asians are really fucking stupid. Most professors are rather disempowered people, attending drinking parties, and wishing they had real power. As for culture, secular humanism and postmodernism are the dominant forces and there are some Jews in this group, but there are also English humanists, Italian humanist... almost every country in Europe has a humanist tradition. As for postmodernism, it is mostly French and German thinkers (Some of them Fascists) who have defined Postmodernism. Yes, there are some Jews in this group, but Heidegger and Nietzsche are not Jews. Infact, Nietzsche was Heidegger were both fiercely Anti-Semtic (They only loved the elite Jews) and Nietzsche blamed a Jew (Christ) for making men sick (sin). Hollywood was a method by which Jews could measure the contempory attitudes of the general public. Sometimes, Hollywood was willing to bend the envelop and introduce socially disturbing themes (interracial marriage). Yes, Hollywood stereotypes Asians, but what about East Asian films? Either the westerner is the evil Other or just nothingness. I saw one Korean show in which a woman representing a Western princess was on camera for about 20 seconds or less, then gone. Now, there are shows in which Westerners have a more prominent role, but their characterization is weak. As for the Media... perhaps when there was just ABC, CBS, or NBC Jews had some power, but even then, who determines what's news? What is censored and not shown? Why do we never see all the violence in the ghettos and all the shootings? I guess the audience, the American people determine that. Now I often hear about how wealthy Jews are. But when I look at the 10 most wealthy people in America, not 1 of them is Jewish or maybe 1. There's the Walton Family, Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, a Mexican Billionaire and some others. Steve Jobs was not Jewish nor are the Founders of Google. Amazon Founder is not Jewish either. So I really don't understand why many East Asians ahve the idea that Jews control America. It may just be transferrence. East Asians can't handle the tension between Americans and Asians so they transfer it to the Jews. But East Asians are not just going to be accepted by Americans. East Asians need to create a cultural buffer in the space of the excluded middle between Americans and Asians... and that means that East Asians will have to create a East-Asian-American culture. East-Asians will not move up the racial pecking order through political correctness. East-Asian sensitivities are absurd anyway... you can't say an Asian is short, don't say brown-skinned, everything is offensive to an East-Asian so just say nothing... besides, in the Northeast, there is really no racial pecking order anymore. It's all class now. If you are poor and Asian, you will be treated like a poor Caucasian. If you are rich and Asian, you will be treated like Paris Hilton (Princeton).

Some interesting things to
Some interesting things to think about in here. I can see where you've tried to avoid it and give and unbiased view, but there are still some gross generalistatons in there and author opinion and not just when describing what one faction thinks of another. The only thing I would suggest thinking about is the single use of the word fucking. It feels out of place in the piece and it would damage your ability to use this in an adecdemic publication should you ever decide to print it. But I think this is a well thought out and well written piece.
All people are the same and the only differential is how much education they have and how much money. I would prefer to have a class divide over racial separation, surely it's got to be an easier disease to take on. It's one fight rich over poor rather than thousands of fights with thousands of races.
