The group I posted this on was entitled "Asians Not Brain-Washed By Media". I wanted to get some responses from what I presumed would be like minded people. I was apparently wrong.
I will say this right now, I fucked up.
Badly.
The people on this group are hardcore, borderline hippies. Some immediate responses to it were:
"I will break this down later on, but who exactly has made race a huge deal in our society? I'll give you a hint. Those with the most power and wealth."
Ah, it was the Jews. Got it.
My favorite was from a humorless dick named Gary Huang, who I think is the moderator of the board:
"You seem to just be ignorant of the issues Asian Americans are facing. You see the Master Thread link at the top of the page? I'll paste it here for you:
Master Thread
http://www.facebook.com/to
Read it. If you think Jacky Chan and Jet Li aren't caricatures, Lucy Liu isn't portrayed as a dragon lady 99% of the time in media (or don't know what the term "dragon lady" means), or think the American melting pot society is a good thing, you need to read the posts in that link."
The guy pretty blatantly ignored what I wrote. Or skimmed over it, saw I was talking about Lucy Liu, Jet Li and the American Melting Pot, didn't bother reading my points that explained why I don't think Asians are treated badly in the media, and went off on an irate, defensive tangent. I read some of the master thread and frankly was offended by how incredibly trivial some of the topics were. For instance:

Essay: 'Why the Joy Luck Club Sucks'
http://www.facebook.com/to
I did not realize that these were the big issues affecting asian americans... Manga, the Joy Luck Club, and asian chicks dating white guys...
There were others, but these were the ones that stood out to me. I noticed that there were several articles about White men dating Asian Women but none about Asian Men dating White women. Because you know, that totally never happens.
Realizing that I wouldn't be able to win an argument against these hypocrites, I left the group.
Minutes later, I got this private message:
"I'm going to tell you this once and once only. If you make another post attacking this group or make another racist thread before having read the master threads, you will be banned. Your lack of positive contributions and ignorant, bigoted posts are unacceptable."
To which I promptly responded:
"I left the group on my own, thanks, Hitler."
I learned my lesson. No matter what the color, gender or age, activists are idiots.
