And since it seems several SWA pilots in this thread don’t believe there’s an issue with the increasing violence against Asian Americans, I’ll say this. I don’t know of racist Asian Americans in my circle- though I’m sure they exist. Secondly- I don’t know of many incidents where Asian Americans targeted other races with verbal threats and epithets — or even violence. I’ve personally witnessed someone being shoved randomly on the sidewalk while being called all kinds of names, and while driving with an Asian American friend had a guy honk his horn and yell “go back to your country!” when our last president started calling this virus the Kung Flu/Wuhan/China virus around March last year. What’s sad is- the perpetrator had a Trump flag hanging off the back of his truck, and my friend actually voted for Trump in 2016. If you’re really bored, just google “Asian American hate crimes” to see for yourself.

Some of y’all truly live in bubbles, and even if you possibly might be trolling — even that begs the question if you’re mentally fit to fly and be entrusted with the lives of other people. Our industry is really slacking when it comes to psychological evaluations of commercial pilots. I wonder if those of you who replied to my post would actually say something like that to other people if this conversation was occurring in person, or if it’s easier to let your true colors show when you’re behind a keyboard on your overnight.

I miss the good old days of when overnights used to be fun and crews never cared about politics or race. But the wayward direction this country has been headed has really brought out the worst in some people. I wonder what Herb or Colleen would say if they saw some of the replies to my post. And it re-affirms my feelings of being ashamed of being “American.” This country was founded on immigrants- even of European origin. So unless y’all are indigenous to North America, your attitudes are ignorant and shameful. May the Lord bless you all and open your hearts and your minds.

Ignorance can be such bliss...

Ironically, would you happen to have an idea which racial group is the one responsible for the overwhelming number of attacks on Asian Americans? Interestingly enough, it’s not the white folks, but your friendly African Americans... but I do chuckle at the attempt by the woke idiots blaming white people and their “racism” for black on Asian violence.

And yes, I’d tell you all this right to your face, especially if you tried to shame me for being white or talk tales about my inherent “white privilege” or “being racist.”

Racism is wrong and it’s evil, indeed. But I do find it comical how most of the ignorant dumba$$es think hating white people isn’t considered racist and don’t vigorously attack those who openly and brazenly show racial animosity and prejudice towards white people.

But hey... stay woke!

It sounds like what you’re trying to say is that because non-white races also engage in racism, it excuses or mitigates the racism of white people against other races. Is that what you’re trying to say? If so, it’s effectively saying two wrongs make a right. Again, none of us teach our children that sort of thing. Why would we use it excuse or rationalize racist adult behavior?

The fundamental problem with all these supposed anti-racists is that almost down to the last one, they're all good with trashing white people for their "racist" transgressions, yet they turn the blind eye to racism directed against the white people. It's called hypocrisy. Either you're anti-racist, in which case you'll be opposed to all forms of racism directed at anyone regardless of the color of their skin, or you're a useful idiot.

I have a major problem with today's social justice warriors who think they're "fighting racism and white supremacy" by acting all ashamed to be white while decrying their so-called "white privilege" and "who tenaciously and vigorously oppose racism" and yet they stay incredibly silent when the racist behavior takes place against white people, or worse yet... it's somehow the white kid's fault because "he was born with the white privilege" or some similar asinine excuses that was the reason why he/she got jumped. Even worse yet, these woke white dipsh*ts will claim for example, that black people "cannot be racist." Right there, you see this for what it is... a mental sickness.

What these dumb******s fail to grasp is that in order to truly combat racism, you need to eliminate it entirely, and that means calling it out EVERY time you see it - not just when it's directed at minorities. Yes, that will include calling out races other than white with the same vigor and tenacity as they currently call out anything they can think is racism against current minorities. Yes, that also means calling out universities who openly discriminate against Asian Americans with substantially higher SAT scores in favor of African Americans with lower SAT scores. I'd call that racism...

Personally, I already refuse to answer any race or ethnicity based questions. Any other way, you're simply choosing another oppressor and preselecting the next oppressed.
