as it should.
not all of the asians are like that and i know he does state not every single one is like that. that really is an awful thing to say about asians though. you don't have to point out the ones that suck. we already know! we have eyes too (contrary to popular belief).

On the lack of pride thing, the only example he gave was of an old lady being yelled at. Most asian women aren't at the mindset where they have more power yet especially the old ones which are old fashioned. My grandma told my aunt not to wash her underwear with her brother's because it'd dishonor him. It might be ?_? to us but it's pretty much cultural to them. That is just a poorly written article which doesn't say much about anything other than he hates some people.

Hey, I'm asian too. Just thought this article was interesting... Never read anything like it. And yes, his writing skills are equivalent to a middle school student. I laughed when I read the article and thought I'd share.

i somewhat agree

[just4kickz]

haha the guys such a kid and all he's doing is generalizing... cause not all asians experience what hes feeling...

the sucking up to whites... well almost all my family friends, friends, and friends' parents are well off. self-made bussiness owners, doctors, etc who grew up with nothing but a dream. a few of them already came to america with money--but of course not all of them. they don't need to suck up to whites when they've been successful and they have money... which leads to pride. why wouldn't you have pride for crossing the damn pacific ocean with nothing but a dream and a suitcase and making something out of nothing? (speaking with my family friends/friends/friends' parents in mind)... and the last paragraph he writes is mumbo jumbo... the samurai? honor? what?

this guy sucks at writing... i'd smack him for saying he's asian. he probably works at an asian supermarket as one of those cashiers. stfu.

interesting

[txusa03]

hey, freedom of speech...everyone has the right to voice their opinion. I dont think he really hates asians, i think he is attempting to bring back the asian culture and to remind asians to not forget who we are and we should not forget where we come from or how our parents risked everything to make a better life for their family, kids, and grand kids.

So dont forget who you are and who is your ancestors...

peace

looks like kenneth eng did another article, "why i hate blacks". it was published in the asian week paper. ktvu channel 2 (bay area) will be doing a news segment on it tonight on the 10 o'clock news.

story from AP:

Asian-Americans condemn 'Why I Hate Blacks' column

POSTED: 0249 GMT (1049 HKT), February 27, 2007

SAN FRANCISCO, California (AP) -- Asian-American leaders are calling on a weekly newspaper to apologize and cut ties with a writer who penned a column titled "Why I Hate Blacks."

In the piece, which appeared in the February 23 edition of San Francisco-based AsianWeek, contributor Kenneth Eng lists reasons why he supports discrimination against blacks, writing, among other things, "I would argue that blacks are weak-willed. They are the only race that has been enslaved for 300 years."

An official at the nationally circulated paper apologized and called the column's publication a mistake.

Leaders at the Asian American Justice Center, Chinese for Affirmative Action, Coalition for Asian Pacific Americans and other groups are circulating a petition denouncing the piece as "irresponsible journalism, blatantly racist, replete with stereotypes, and deeply hurtful to African Americans."

The petition calls on AsianWeek to cut ties with Eng, issue an apology, print an editorial refuting the column, and fire or demote the editors who published it.

"Something like this should never have been printed," said Vincent Eng, deputy director of the Asian American Justice Center in Washington, who is not related to the columnist. "Deliberate action needs to be taken to make sure this type of hate speech doesn't continue."

AsianWeek, with a circulation of 48,505, issued a statement apologizing for "any harm or hurt this has caused the African American community."

The newspaper plans to hold a news conference with NAACP leaders in San Francisco on Wednesday to discuss how the Asian and black communities "can be different and yet get along and work together," said Ted Fang, the paper's editor at large.

"The newspaper is sorry that this got published, and I am personally sorry that this got published," Fang told The Associated Press. "The views in that opinion piece do not in any way reflect the views of AsianWeek."

The paper plans to review its policies to "understand how this happened and make sure it doesn't happen again," Fang said, calling the decision to publish Eng's piece a "mistake."

Fang's family publishes AsianWeek, along with a local newspaper called the Independent, and owned the San Francisco Examiner between 2000 and 2004. AsianWeek calls itself "The Voice of Asian America."

The column was among several written by Kenneth Eng, who has described himself as an "Asian Supremacist." Previous columns have been titled "Proof That Whites Inherently Hate Us" and "Why I Hate Asians."

A telephone listing for Eng could not be located.

Sophie Maxwell, one of the city's top black officials and a member of the city's board of supervisors, said she doesn't believe Eng's column will hurt relations between blacks and Asians in San Francisco. She has co-sponsored a city resolution condemning the article and AsianWeek's decision to publish it.

"This man clearly is very ignorant of African-American history and his own history, and he's very angry," said Maxwell, who represents a district with large black and Asian populations.

actual article by kenneth eng:

Why I Hate Blacks

Kenneth Eng, Feb 23, 2007

Here is a list of reasons why we should discriminate against blacks, starting from the most obvious down to the least obvious:

• Blacks hate us. Every Asian who has ever come across them knows that they take almost every opportunity to hurl racist remarks at us.

In my experience, I would say about 90 percent of blacks I have met, regardless of age or environment, poke fun at the very sight of an Asian. Furthermore, their activity in the media proves their hatred: Rush Hour, Exit Wounds, Hot 97, etc.

• Contrary to media depictions, I would argue that blacks are weak-willed. They are the only race that has been enslaved for 300 years. It's unbelievable that it took them that long to fight back.

On the other hand, we slaughtered the Russians in the Japanese-Russo War.

• Blacks are easy to coerce. This is proven by the fact that so many of them, including Reverend Al Sharpton, tend to be Christians.

Yet, at the same time, they spend much of their time whining about how much they hate "the whites that oppressed them."

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Christianity the religion that the whites forced upon them?

• Blacks don't get it. I know it's a blunt and crass comment, but it's true. When I was in high school, I recall a class debate in which one half of the class was chosen to defend black slavery and the other half was chosen to defend liberation.

Disturbingly, blacks on the prior side viciously defended slavery as well as Christianity. They say if you don't study history, you're condemned to repeat it.

In high school, I only remember one black student ever attending any of my honors and AP courses. And that student was caught cheating.

It is rather troubling that they are treated as heroes, but then again, whites will do anything to defend them.

what a dumbass.

editors of asian week are dumbasses too.

[SpecC]

lol what a terrible publisher they must have

[just4kickz]

i mean its good that hes opiniated but he draws his conclusions on so many generalizations... generalizations = sterotyping = false assumptions... he can't be asian!

[shimshimhada]

it's so bad.

Don’t get me wrong. I love the Asian race, but every race has its inferiors.

Yeah, him.

[Asiann]

[herbz]

he's pretty stupid.... but i do agree, when i see an asian person talking like a black guy, let's just say that's pretty funny.

it's equivalent to a white guy talking ebonics which is just as retarded.

but guess what that's american culture and people who bitch and whine about that have severe confidence problems

[txusa03]

i see a pattern here...next, he will write an article on how he hates whites, then how he hates muslims, and how he hates ect....
