So with all this said, where do us Asains stand? I mean, most of those that i hang with that live and breath hip-hop culture, are not black, and very few white, in fact its the asian cats(Indian, Chinese, Korean, Japs etc.) The more that this country polarizes the problems between blacks and whites, we the real minority gets shafted each and everytime. I mean we will give our all to this culture and get absolutely no recognition. That would have all other audiences yelling and screaming foul! This is not just a hip-hop thing, its more of a reflection on society, we asians work our asses of, take shit from the majority, yet we never really get the props we deserve. Everything from analyzing standardized tests to hip-hop. I mean from the test stand point, well we asians are "different" cause the other races/cultures cant score as well as we can, so we dont matter...in hip-hop, well they must not represent, cause we are not in the majority, so we dont matter(once again)<P>So where do we fit in this society, we aid in every facet, yet get no recognition. Now from a hip-hop perspective, black kids in the Detroit/Ann Arbor are like "whats a turntablist", "man I dont freestyle, i do paid style"(oohhh if I hear one more mickey fickey say this......the ass whopping will commence), and that "ja rule and dmx are "emcess" makes me wonder where these kids are coming from. Then the white kids that will go out and pay $15 for a no limit record, and then go out and buy a juvinile record, not knowing the difference between the two, its more about rolling with a trend. But then of course there are the white/black kids that know whats goin on, so they are given props, but what about us!??!?!??! Its about time, you think even cats on this site, that claim they're "backpackers" were down from 87 and listening to PE...I highly doubt it, so lets start to give credit, where credit is due.<P>Peace<BR>RamXL<BR>(b-boy advocate)
