No, racism will never stop

Lets be clear here. I didn't say Chinese were the most racist as the clip above appears that I said, my Chinese friends said that about their own folks.

Which river separates India from China?

**happynz** · 20-05-2021, 06:47 PM

The Chip Chap River and the Brahmaputra River. I imagine that the Brahmaputra River is of more economic concern to Indians and Bangladeshis than the more remote Chip Chap River.

Off the top of my head....................I have no frigging idea whatsoever

If these attacks are increasing in frequency we here in Canada are hearing zilch about it. Silencio.

I'm afraid Neal that if far above my pay grade.
Regrets and regards.

The Fraser River?

**russellsimpson** · 20-05-2021, 08:09 PM

Well if that's the joke I am afraid that is why I didn't get it as it is untrue.

The idea did cross my mind though.

If we were only of Chinese it would be funny.

Thank you Neil.

How many countries are in more than one continent?

Come on guys, someone can do it.

Biden signs anti-Asian hate crime bill marking 'significant break' in partisanship. Its passage marks a rare moment of bipartisanship in a gridlocked Washington.

President Biden signs COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act

President Joe Biden on Thursday signed into law the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act that passed through Congress in an increasingly rare show of bipartisanship, hailing the effort a "significant break" in a gridlocked Washington.

Vice President Kamala Harris, the first woman and person of Asian descent to hold the office, opened the signing ceremony by thanking lawmakers present for their work including Sen. Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, and Rep. Grace Meng, D-N.Y., who introduced the bill. Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, a Republican, also received a nod from Biden for showing up to the ceremony which was dominated by Democrats. Without masks and social distancing, it was largest-scale event at the White House since the Biden administration began.

Correct. Most Indians live or used to live in South Vancouver and a lot of Chinese live in Richmond.

It's more complicated than that russell...as nidhogg has mentioned.

Still, complications aren't really your forte.

**russellsimpson** · 21-05-2021, 10:32 AM

I acknowledge nidhogg's comments.

Just forgot where the hell they were. A couple of threads obsessed with defining what a continent

Contiguous and __________________.

And Neil your joke actually is quite funny.

I had never heard it put that way but it is true about the Mighty Fraser.

What are your comments with regard to Panama, the country, not the hat?

**VocalNeal** · 21-05-2021, 11:14 AM

^ Never been to Panama. Tropical country with a canal. Separates Central Americans from South Americans? Home of the Darien Gap?

**russellsimpson** · 21-05-2021, 11:19 AM

The thing is Neil is that Central America is not a continent. Technically North America runs from the Arctic down to the Panama Canal, imo.

In effect Panama, the country and not the hat, is transcontinental.

Only a few posters here could be transcontinental . . . obesity is a terrible thing

Certainly seems that way, with many of the recent videos. (Interesting editorial below)

excerpt...
One recent study has provided the justification for the claim that non-whites where the majority of perpetrators of Asian-American hate crimes. The study was published in the American Journal of Criminal Justice in January, and it was based on data from 1992-2014. But the study clearly indicates that the identities of the perpetrators of hate crimes against Asian-Americans are overwhelmingly white: 74.6 percent of these crimes are committed by white assailants.

Passenger arrested, cited for unruly behavior on flight from Los Angeles

A Nevada man was arrested and removed from an American Airlines flight from Los Angeles on Monday after he yelled at another passenger and the flight crew.

Flight attendants then approached the man, in an attempt to calm him, when he reportedly began yelling “they don’t belong here,” at a woman of Asian descent and another passenger she was with.

“He was just yelling that they don’t belong here, and asserting that that was not her seat, but it was — she was there the whole time,” Busch told the Salt Lake Tribune. “After that, the flight attendants had that couple move back.”

The airlines will have to let staff use tranquilizer guns soon. It’s getting crazy up there in the sky.

Well, above a particular region maybe.

Pro-China Online Network Used Fake Accounts to Urge Asian-Americans to Attend Protests, Researchers Say

WASHINGTON—A network of fake social-media accounts linked to the Chinese government has attempted to draw Americans out to real-world protests against anti-Asian-American racism and popular but unsubstantiated allegations that China engineered the virus that caused the Covid-19 pandemic, according to U.S. security firms.

The attempts to physically mobilize Americans have so far failed, researchers said. But they represent a troubling effort reminiscent of Russia’s attempts to sow discord during the 2016 presidential election, they said. The activity represents the first known example of suspected China-linked actors targeting Americans with the apparent goal of encouraging them to attend real-world demonstrations.

“They’re copying the Kremlin’s playbook,” said John Hultquist, vice president of analysis at Mandiant, a U.S.-based cyber intelligence firm.

According to research published Wednesday by Mandiant and Alphabet’s Google unit, thousands of accounts across dozens of social-media platforms—including Facebook, YouTube and Twitter —and online forums have urged Asian-Americans into the streets to protest against racial injustice in the U.S.
