Uhhhh lol Africans also do well themselves. Arguably better than most inmigrants. They are among the best educated and many are doing very, very well for themselves. Still doesn't take away from the argument of white supremacy and they'll still be considered "ni.ggers." Times are better to be sure but at the end of the day, if the cops were called on an Asian or that Nigerian immigrant's son they'll likely use deadly force. When applying for a job they'll still be discriminated against. Hence, inferior. Never mind that Asian men are considered effemininate and weak and that it's better for an Asian girl to marry white. That argument is so bad. Lmao What a dumbass, who doesn't understand the basics of the concept he's talking about.

Maldito idiota.
You're right. The whole argument pretty much falls flat on its face by saying that no economic success would be the only symptom of white supremacy. The follow up question would be what exactly Colin believes white surpemacy is.

It is a dumb opinion but it's surprising that this earned him the Voldemort treatment while so many other people who say stupid shit aren't declared unmentionable

Well, it at least shows 'white supremacy' as a theory is inadequate. I think cindi misses the point a little on this. It is not simply that 'Asians' are successful, they outperform whites in terms of academic achievement and job salary. And since people on the Left seem to take statisitics like this as evidence of an advantage, then using that same logic, Asians have advantages over whites in terms of academic achievement and ultimately job prospects. If we are to define 'White Supremacy' as a system of structural racism that privileges white people over all others, well not universally in all aspects of life. And not where it is most important either. Asians have an advantage in one of the places where it really counts.

One thing I find really annoying as well is the way it is dismissed as simply the 'token minority' as if like white people got together and conspired to make Asians the token minority or something. What's more, Asians as a category comprises people of many different countries. When Americans think of Asians, they tend to think of Koreans, Chinese, or Japanese, etc, but it also comprises Indians. And while Koreans, Chinese and Japanese you can say have similar characteristics, Indians are not only culturally different but significantly phenotypically different. There are no similarities. As if simply explaining it away by calling them the 'token minority' has any merit.

Indians being Asian (and they are considered Asian) has no relevance whether they're considered "token minority" or not. It's a complete red herring and even takes away from your argument since Indians are also stereotyped as "Muslims" and "terrorists" despite this "out perfomance" you mentioned. You also assume that "token minority" is something white people came up with and not something some asians fully embrace.

Your argument also doesn't really make much since as white supremacy is about power. Asians do not wield real power in the United States. Black people in the south overcome struggles the early 20th century to the point where we had our own Wall Street and culture centers that made money. They were still destroyed. That is white supremacy. People being forced to claw through the cracks, but there's always the white man above to remind you who is really boss. White supremacy is an institutional thing. It has nothing to do with performance.

Ethno supremacy has ethnic cleansing. A majority skin color being seen as default to advertisers who need to reach large audiences is not white supremacy.

However, the idea that whites get what they achieve because of skin color and are automatically average otherwise is racism.

Not sure if serious. In a post-Civil War south, there were plenty of black representatives (most if not all southern) until a certain period when the KKK threatened people. Then Jim Crow happened. You weren't allowed to go to the same schools, so this meant less education. And since people weren't slaves anymore, this meant they had to be self reliant. But it's hard to be self reliant if, for example, you don't have doctors and things like that. Because hospitals will also be segregated and you'll get bad care. But high education is what trains people in doctors and lawyers and representation, which you don't have access to.

So we took what was given and made our own colleges and universities to make our own doctors and lawyers and politicians. People like MLK came from that system.

So basically, you had an entire community who fulfilled the American dream with everything against them, made their own education systems to a point where they were in many ways better off than white people of the south through our own self created community.

They didn't like that.

In terms of whether I mean Token Minority or Model Minority. I think I am confusing the two terms actually.

.
And in terms of 'white supremacy' being about power. Power that privileges white people over others.

Quote
In academic usage, particularly in usage which draws on the critical race theory, the term "white supremacy" can also refer to a political or socio-economic system where white people enjoy a structural advantage (privilege) over other ethnic groups, both at a collective and an individual level.

Now I don't know exactly how you are defining 'white supremacy'. I find this is increasingly becoming a problem with the way the LEft keeps redefining or broadening the meaning of words(lol).

I am not saying that there is no merit at all to this notion, just that this 'privilege' is not universal across the board as evidenced by Asians being on top when comes to academic acheivement and job prospects. As I said, it at least shows as a theory it is inadequate.

Uhhh, almost any black person, when arguing about white supremacy, uses the academic definition. When we talk about white supremacy, we are talking about an institutional idea that posits white people as the ideal model. This should be clear from my posts and, no, "the left" is not redefining words, especially ones like white supremacy. That term has had the same definition for generations.

As for privilege, I believe it exists but don't use it when arguing because I've never really seen anyone on the opposite end who could go admit its existence. It almost always ends up offending someone and then the discussion goes off topic because the person did this or that so they can't have privilege. The argument, while I agree with it, is a waste of time, and one of the largest sticking points in sjw rhetoric. I don't think privilege argument solves anything and just makes people go on the defensive rather than talk about the topic at hand.

And since I'm not an sjw...

I will explain why I brought up Indians actually.

Model Minority was originally attributed to Far Eastern minorities(No?) by white people. I have heard arguments that the reason for their success is because of the perception by white people of this 'Model Minority' ethic. It was a propaganda campaign to use the 'model minority' ethic as an excuse to keep other minorities down. There might be some credence to that, however, Indians are culturally and phenotypically different to East Asians, so I don't think it explains it completely.

That academic definition is designed to ignore the real dire reality of an ethnic supremacy and redefine white supremacy as the basic outcome of a majority based nation. It is a redefinition with suspect aims.

No it hasn't. White Supremacy which draws from critical race theory, which in turn draws from critical theory, which is an offshoot of postmodernism. This is what I am assuming Colin was talking
about.

This is not quite the same as White Supremacy, as in Jim Crow and segregation, etc. This notion has been around for generations.

And I agree the concept of privilege is not useful. I will also add to that, that the question of 'class' also muddies the waters, so to speak.

Reset has all the crazy, but nothing has crept up on the mods for them to hide.

NeoGAF was crazy, insular, and basically fucked in the head, but what made it special was that they would cover up the pedophilia, the ass grabbing or whatever for those in charge,

Reset is just the cult without the cult leader.

Reddit's a better idea than a big catch-all forum like resetera once you get to more than a handful of people. Nobody in individual communities agree on everything. The more you try to force it the more weirdly shapen and bizarre it gets, like GAF's unique cultural authoritarianism. Take etiolate. I like the guy's basketball opinions and in general I think he's a smart, decent, interesting person. But we couldn't be farther apart from each other politically. We can coexist on the Bore, where people get to know each other fairly well and can self police, and we can coexist on a basketball subreddit or something where thousands and thousands of people just talk about basketball. But he'd be either have to completely hide his beliefs to not be banned on Resetera. Evilore actually had the right idea at first when he thought about getting rid of off-topic. Should have just been a pure video game forum again.

I still can't get my head aroundaround people thinking it's acceptable to say things like "white pepole have no culture" or "too many white people on tv". Americans, I assume...

To be fair: That last complaint is true. Minorities have it hard in Hollywood. Count the number of main-stream Blacks and Asians (or other races) that headline a bunch of films.

Whites are a majority (currently, I think it recently switched to them being a minority in the US now?), so it makes sense that they are "star leaders" in films or TV shows. But there really hasn't been a push by the major studios to get some leading women/men of color out there.

I mean take for example: Steven Yeun. While not a "leading man" he was by far a fan favorite character on a major TV show. Once his character died, he's... done like 2-3 films and a bunch of voice-acting roles. Of which, those 2-3 films are barely in the "main stream" pop-culture that I'm talking about when it comes to PoC leading men/women.  If I didn't Google his name: I honestly would not be able to tell you his voice-acting roles or his films he's been in post Walking Dead.

:yeshrug What I'm getting at is (and I had this discussion with a minority that didn't think it was a big deal, so... *shrug*) it's a valid complaint. I'm not going to be all "100% woke activist make the change ya'll" about it, but I do think there should be more PoC leading-actors that are able to be named beyond like Will Smith, Jada Pinkett Smith (which is borderline there), and trying to think of a Asian actor that's been "mainstream"/word of mouth named since like the 2010+...

Generalizations don't have to lead to systemic harm for them to be racist.

I mean, it literally does. Otherwise it's simple prejudice. But certain folks get real upset when anyone points that out.

I'm just quoting this because I'm a big fan of the "it's cool, you're not an -ist, you're just a bigot/prejudiced" argument.

I got a notification that they updated the FAQ, so I tried to find what changed. I didn't notice this before, so maybe it's new, but even if it's not...

The OP here is alarmingly dense. Someone should notify his parents that their especially stupid child has slipped the cuff on his toddler leash and is posting embarassing shit on the internet from mommy’s laptop.

This is an amazing update for an FAQ. At least the admins are aware that the loudest portion of their user base really are living in a bubble.

Much like what happened on NeoGAF over the past few years, I just don't really care to post much on ResetEra outside of a few community threads for the most part. 

ResetEra is also kind of boring.   I don't miss Thug1's tyranny mod squad, but I dunno...something just feels missing at ResetEra.

It’s sterile and boring. Every time I look at reset I see a topic title and rarely even click it because I already know what will be going on in the topic. The last couple years of Gaf were completely predictable as to what would be going on in any thread. The same people posting the same shit day in and day out. It’s just that with a new coat of paint.

Does the FAQ update provide any useful links to websites that are ERA-approved for getting outside the ERA bubble? I don't want to see any of the horrible and hateful stuff that's out there on the internet like poll results about Capcom character designs.

Yeah, once the gaf exodus began, I haven't really been logging into Resetera that often. I lost interest in both, honestly. Gaf for obvious reasons, and Resetera cause there's just something off about it (probably cause the OT is not as traffic heavy as gaf's OT was).

It's just boring. Real no fun allowed kind of place. People are super super literal there, so if you make a joke they take it seriously.

It's a little encouraging, because you know that all the time spent posting day in and day out by people like excelsiorlef means they're not actually accomplishing anything in the real world, protesting, running for public office, whatever.

They complain a lot about concern trolls trying to waste their time and force them to argue in circles and explain themselves repeatedly, but they don't need anyone's help for that.
