  While most of Russia does in fact lie in Asia, that part of it is where almost no one lives. So geographically speaking, yes, it's mostly Asia. But we're talking about culture here, not geography. :P
  
  As for the stuff she said... Sadly, she isn't too far from the truth, especially in the US. I didn't really bother to read her rude comments, but on a related note, it always boggled my mind how black people are a minority in the US population, yet make up a majority behind bars. Statistics that show that a black person is far more likely to be a criminal are pretty sad.

  Whites are the minority in the US.

  He never said they werent.
  
  He just said blacks are a minority. Which is a fact.
  
  But with that comes a brand new argument and discussion really. Poverty is really a chain that is difficult to get out of. Being raised in poverty, in a neighborhood of poverty, in a poor environment, you're probably going to continue the chain of poverty. Most black people living in well to do environments are usually the nicest people in the world, maybe even more so than most of my white friends. They're very caring, their mannerisms are honestly amazing, and its not just a few people I know that are like that.
  
  But then you go to the "bad part of the city" and the population seems to have black people as the majority. Crime rates are high, streets are trash, schools are horrible. Honestly, if you were raised in that kind of environment, I'm sure "going to college and getting a good job" doesn't even cross your mind once.
  
  Black people haven't been given equality for very long. And even after discrimination ended (debatable), where would they go? What would they do? They were already lower class citizens with no money, education, or futures. All they could do is just go about as they've been, and raise a family in a lower class environment.
  
  From my experience with black people, rather than assuming that they're inherently more chaotic or unlawful, I believe they are far more absorbent, like a sponge is, compared to the rest of us, who are kinda like towels. Their behavior and personality seems far more afflicted by their environment and upbringing than any other race I've seen. It can be such a great thing, but with the society structured as it is, this trait seems to be seen mostly in a bad light.
  
  And of course I'm generalizing here, but thats what I feel overall as the big picture in how black people behave.
  
  And of course I could just be pulling shit out of my ass. But this is my, unstudied, unproven, not researched hypothesis based on what experiences I've had when dealing with black people and knowing what I know about American civilization.

  I don't think it's exclusive to black people. I think if you threw Asians in that crappy neighborhood, they would end up roughly the same as the other black people there. I really don't believe they would be in any way better off, unless I guess their family had different value systems. But, for the sake of equality... let's just say they grew up in a perfectly equal environment.

  I think it's best to just say "There are trash of all kinds, color, shape." To compliment that, it is much easier to spot trash than to spot a diamond in a landfill.
  
  Now the topic is shifting towards the Nature vs Nurture debate. I believe that nature plays a large part in how a person acts, and race is not a contributing factor to nature.

  This is very true, but I think the "black people are more afflicted by their upbringing" thing is kind of a person to person thing. I've seen people raised in the ghetto who are hard working people, who want to one day bring their family out of the lower class. to live normal lives.
  
  But other than that. Everything you've said is true.
  
  And man. Those last few tweets were disgusting to read. It was like being on /b/ or /po/...or any other board on 4chan, because everyone seems to have an overall hate for black people there.

  I agree with you and I'm black. In my elementary school years I was in nice suburban neighborhoods but then due to my father's job we had to move to the city, where I experienced being in a predominately-black school for the first time. Now my mother's friend attended a predominately-black school but the students there were known to go to prestigious schools such as Harvard or Yale. However, that school was NOT in the city, therefore, she had a completely different experience.
  
  For the most part, when well-to-do blacks are described as the "kindest people you know" it is because we have something to prove. We have to push and shove through the stereotypes of all of us being baby-popping, welfare-using, lazy ignoramuses. We HAVE to be on our best behavior to be taken seriously. We HAVE to work hard in school because right over the railroad tracks(or for me, a classroom down the hall) there is a black person bringing the bad stereotypes to life.
  
  This goes for most Asians I have met as well. The reason that academics are such a big part of their life is the reason why it is in mine; it takes more work for a minority to become just as successful as the majority.
  
  These comments from Jenny Hyun are very hurtful, especially as a HUMAN BEING who has been working 10x harder than others to get the same recognition. But I can't say "boo hoo, blacks are treated SOOOO TERRIBLY! waah waah!" because there are minorities groups here in the U.S. who are treated 10x worse.
  
  Namely, Latinos; especially Mexicans. Or should we go over the treatment the Native Americans have been given despite Americans trying to "give back to the maltreated Native Americans"? Don't think I'm Anti-American because I am probably the most brazenly patriotic American in my network of associates, but I recognize its faults.
  
  But that is another discussion. The point is that racism is something that needs to be squashed. Including the racism Jenny Hyun might have received being an Asian-American in America.

  just wanted to say, the first time someone called me a chink, at the time I think they really meant it, but I honestly didn't know what it meant before they said it, so I was basically like
  
  ".. what did you say?"
  "chink"
  "what's that?"
  
  and they had to explain it to me
  
  "no way"
  "it's true!"
  "not believing it"
  
  and also I'm in HongKong now and, people that are not "asian" by your definition, are so uncommon here I get semi happy when I do see some foreigners
  and this is comming from someone that had lived in the United States for 13 years
