I'm really glad to know I'm no...Thank you. I'm really glad to know I'm not alone in thinking the general reaction to Alexandra Wallace is extremely far out of proportion to what she did. Her rant was ignorant and insensitive, but the reactions she got are downright scary.<br /><br />I agree that a lot of people who are harassing her are self-righteous hypocrites. I suspect many of them are not even the Asian Americans who were offended. People have a tendency to look for any reason they can to justify aggression towards another. There is a lot of rudeness and callousness towards other races, but it's sad that so many people chose to go after an easy target.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182862650840932810.post-70459458949837658712011-03-22T14:49:55.606-07:002011-03-22T14:49:55.606-07:00"Its amazing how much energy you place into d..."Its amazing how much energy you place into defending someone that had no positive intention with their actions whatsoever."<br /><br />It amazes me that someone who thinks me an insane racist would subscribe to blog and leave none of my comments unanswered.<br /><br />"sold as slaves and segregated like the african americans"<br /><br />If Fredrick Douglas made these claims, then I'd take him seriously.

Do you really believe that having someone cut in line while you are on vacation or some children calling you by a name to ask for money is that offensive?<br />Try living that life every day of your life in a country where you are the minority and lets see how "sensitive" you would be then. I wonder if you would be a tad more sensitive rather than having getting pushed to the back of the line in Turkey, if you were placed in an internment camp during the war like the Japanese Americans, or placed on a reservation and stripped of your land like the native americans, or sold as slaves and segregated like the african americans? Maybe, just maybe you are the "exception" because your experiences have never really been at the level that others have. MAYBE, you do not understand the level of uproar that others have because you have never been in their shoes and experiences what they have. Maybe you should get off your high horse and realize that maybe you are NOT so exceptional but that MAYBE your life has been alot easier and cushier than others. You talk about how all these hypocrites think they are better than others in one way or another and here you do the same thing in your own blog. You try to stay on a high horse and pretend that you are the better person by defending someone who cant defend themselves and look who and what you are defending, and think who and what you are indulting. MAYBE it is not that you are less sensitive and exceptional but instead that you are more callous and unaware. I'm sure you wont agree with me though - self exploration is always the hardest thing.

I know you feel as if you are "defending" the persecuted, but there are much better issues that need "defending" that are not brought about by their own actions. You reap what you sow. If I were to upload a rant about a certain race, I would not be surprised to get a backlash, and I think deservedly so....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182862650840932810.post-29521703128700239622011-03-21T16:46:48.422-07:002011-03-21T16:46:48.422-07:00"what she did was equivalent to publishing he..."what she did was equivalent to publishing her rant all over the world"<br /><br />Actually you did that. As the owner of a low-trafficked blog, let me tell you that the Internet is fickle and rarely cares about what you have to say. It was the offended people who reposted it which made her small sin into a great one. Maybe 50 of her racist friends would have ever seen the video. But, with your help (and the rest of the offended Internet), she reached at least a thousand times, maybe even a million times, that number.<br /><br />"it is useless to argue over the "potential" of someone. it denies ownership/responsibility of one's actions"<br /><br />I agree with you, though I don't think this is quite what the other Anonymous (or I) was saying. You are absolutely right: it's not about potential, it's about action and intent.<br /><br />"racism? unforgivable sin? ...it doesn't get any closer than that."<br /><br />Why?<br /><br />"i guess i can't blame you for not understanding the sensitivity of this subject for minorities"<br /><br />You are right in guessing my inability to empathize about these things. I don't seem to have the ability to be offended for a demographic I'm a part of. Clearly my race is rarely attacked in the US of A. But I have been many places where being white was rare. When I was in Turkey, we went to the market and were talking to the butcher to buy meat. A Turkish guy walked in behind us, and the clerk asked him to come to the front of the line in front of us (we were foreigners, after all). At this clear violation of standards of fairness and decency, I felt nothing (my American companions were furious). I just thought, "This is how they do things here." It cost me 5 minutes of my life, no biggie. I lived in Kenya for a year, and had children daily hiss at me to get my attention and then shout "Muzugu! [White man] How are you?! Give me money!" Because, in their minds, white men carry unlimited amounts of money on them at all times, and don't give it to needy children on the street purely from selfish greed. I would just shrug and I thought, "This is how they do things here."<br /><br />I do indeed live in a Christian nation, but let me tell you what: graduate school at a top university ain't no Christian nation. :) I have indeed felt the isolation and even mild persecution of being part of a tiny and hated minority at school. But even here, I don't care about 'being Christian' so much as their insulting Christ. I don't care if they mock my church or my demographic category ("Evangelical"). What really riles me up is when they unfairly slander or mock Jesus or His teachings (either primarily or secondarily).<br /><br />So it seems to me that sensitivity to discrimination is something that is variable. Very little of my confidence comes from what strangers think about my demographics. But clearly I am an exception. Unless this is an actual genetic deficit in me, it was likely the result of a cognitive behavior. I wonder if this level of sensitivity can be changed voluntarily (probably through cognitive exercise, CTB, etc). I'm curious: would you want to be less sensitive if you could? Would you want to rob the racists of their power to hurt you?David Carreonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11816955307668560061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182862650840932810.post-74503879381580162242011-03-18T01:50:33.773-07:002011-03-18T01:50:33.773-07:00also when you use the word potential, it sounds li...also when you use the word potential, it sounds like you assume that there is an end product of a person at a certain point. don't be so naive. life is a journey(i know, how cliche, right?)... but it really is. at every step along the way, you are someone, making a conscious decision. it is useless to argue over the "potential" of someone. it denies ownership/responsibility of one's actions until the person reaches his end product(which doesn't exist). this would not be a human world...<br /><br />racism? unforgivable sin? let me be the first person and certainly not the last person to tell you that it doesn't get any closer than that. i guess i can't blame you for not understanding the sensitivity of this subject for minorities, but at the same time, you can't blame me for not fully understanding what it must feel like for you to be living in an atheist world(maybe you have no idea what i'm talking about). lucky for you though, you live in one of the more if not the most christian nations in the world. <br /><br />enjoyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182862650840932810.post-68258717268023935062011-03-18T01:10:14.026-07:002011-03-18T01:10:14.026-07:00http://www.mercurynews.com/breaking-news/ci_176350...http://www.mercurynews.com/breaking-news/ci_17635093<br /><br />legally speaking you can't blame the kids' parents after they turn 18 but comon now... assuming you had parents growing up... it's all about how they raise you and the values they instill in you. your parents will always have an influence on your life even after they die. i'm not saying that every single thing that someone's child(all of us) does wrong should point the blame towards the parent, but in this particular instance, both are to blame.<br /><br />should she be chastised by 1000s of people? what kind of question is that? hello, this is the internet, think twice about it... there, are, no, rules... also, i'm surprised only thousands are chastising her. i mean, what she did was equivalent to publishing her rant all over the world on every single newspaper agency, broadcasting it on every single radio channel and tv network... and even so, all of those means of communication combined is probably less efficient than the internet alone. at least in this particular case... so i think she's lucky that the whole asian race from all over the world is not threatening her. only in the thousands... she's definitely lucky. <br /><br />you know, i hate the word, "potential". life is not about potential, learn that now. everyone has the potential to do everything and anything. everyone also has the potential to do right and wrong. an act is an act. once you've committed it, that's it. i'm sure even hitler had the potential do become totally someone else. he didn't. <br /><br />and umm... that's unfortunate that you think that people are stoning her. it's too bad that she's being stoned? at least it's only thousands out of the millions she's offended...? isn't that a pretty realistic turn out?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182862650840932810.post-1946853050665174062011-03-17T21:53:42.160-07:002011-03-17T21:53:42.160-07:00@anonymous - "it's probably the parents f...@anonymous - "it's probably the parents fault" obviously you have no children. If you consider a college student an adult, you cannot blame their parents for anything they do. They make their own decisions. I read the article you posted. It only quoted the father's facebook post which was saying what his daughter wanted to call her blog. Does that make him responsible? The girl made a poor choice; nobody's fault but her own. She should be corrected/educated as to what her mistake was, but should she be chastised by 1,000's of people? Isn't that a bit extreme? When was the last time you said something stupid? Would you want 1,000's of people to chastise you? I think David is saying that we ALL have the potential to say or do something that is offensive to others. I'm not going to stone someone for their mistake.

It&..."I let the entire airport have it."<br /><br />It's only natural.<br /><br />"If someone inflicts unprompted pain onto you it is natural reaction to want to inflict it back."<br /><br />Of course. I agree with you.<br /><br />"Think of Wallace as a thug or a bully."<br /><br />I do see your point. However, I'll admit I have a hard time thinking of her as a bully. Even on it's own merits, it's an uninspired and uninspiring rant; nobody's going to join the KKK after listening to her. The UCLA students I remember were smart, self-assured people; I can't think of anyone I knew there who, if she said this to their face, wouldn't just laugh at her. But your point is valid; she did make an attack.<br /><br />"I know I'm not racist." <br /><br />Yet: <br /><br />"I screamed every single obscenity--quite literally--I could think of, even racist ones"<br /><br />You sound like you're an unusually honorable person. Honestly, you've probably done more to fight racism in your life than I have. Yet you are not perfect. None of us are. And none of us, if pressed, ever claim to be. But all of us do want to draw a line in the sand. We want things black and white, and we want to be in the white. You said "I'm not a racist" even though you scream racial obscenities; the racist line is somewhere before YouTube posting and somewhere after ocassional obscenities.<br /><br />You sound like a person of decency. But I am suggesting that we go beyond decency into agape; to go from natural to supernatural; from the kingdom of earth to the Kingdom of Heaven. Sure it's natural to return hatred for hatred, insult for insult. Jesus said, "You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.' But I tell you not to resist an evil person. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also." Consider the incredible power of obeying that literally: Ghandi freed India and Martin Luther King confronted really violent racism. I say we follow their example.<br /><br />You said you're not Jesus or Buddha. Are you satisfied with that? Both of them claim you can follow them into the Kingdom of Heaven or into Enlightenment. Why don't you? You seem to respect them as teachers; why don't you believe their teachings?<br /><br />In my opinion, it's not the moral position that matters ("racist"/"not racist"). It's the moral derivative, or moral acceleration. Is a person progressing, and at what rate? That's where things get really interesting. We need to go beyond our simple linear assumptions about justice and begin to consider the higher order terms proposed by teachers like Jesus and Buddha. That's when people start to live like MLK and Ghandi: when men stop being simply men.David Carreonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11816955307668560061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182862650840932810.post-25403883435034323452011-03-16T22:47:39.259-07:002011-03-16T22:47:39.259-07:00Most (not all) of the people reacting are not as a...Most (not all) of the people reacting are not as arrogant as you assume. I think there is an stereotype even there you are applying to the "type" of person who attack her. (Your questions seem rhetorical and generalizing of the reader.) <br /><br />Personally I'm an attacker (not her personally but in general). I don't think any of those things that you mentioned (I'm actually quite cynical and argue with everyone). I don't think she should be expelled (it IS free-speech) and it doesn't matter anyway because she still will be culturally punished.<br /><br />I do, however, support the verbal attackers. Think of Wallace as a thug or a bully. She harmed someone (or a group of people) and the natural reaction is to be incredibly defensive. The way we defend is to attack back. Because we are so emotional, we attack with whatever hurtful words we know. (It is emotional because racism involves 1) labeling someone and making assumptions about people you haven't met and 2) usually they are insulting in some way--btw even the positive stereotypes are incredibly annoying but I won't go into that.) It doesn't necessarily mean we believe them, we choose them because they are the most hurtful towards the recipient. <br /><br />I know I'm not racist. I have angrily stood up for various races... for example, I just argued with a Chinese person who thought Japan "deserved" the tsunami (many Chinese have strong nationalistic standpoint and think Rape of Nanking is the worst battle/massacre/etc ever even though they have committed similar unrelated atrocities). I stood up for Japan. When my mom bashes China, I always stand up for that other country... BUT... when in moments of stress, for example driving at LAX... my top blows off. One time 3 successive cars cut me off at LAX and I was having a bad day. I let the entire airport have it. I was so enraged I screamed every single obscenity--quite literally--I could think of, even racist ones that didn't even apply to the person it was directed to.<br /><br />So, example, someone calls me fat. I am unable to brush it off (sorry I'm not Jesus or Buddha... I can only take so much) and I get angry so I give him a retort. Personally I am Agnostic and sometimes lean towards Atheist and I also believe that the justice system is broken. When someone wrongs someone else, a punishment must come of it, whoever it comes from. So I yell at them back. Similar to what is happening here. If someone inflicts unprompted pain onto you it is natural reaction to want to inflict it back.<br /><br />One might argue that "Asians" attacked her first by being disruptive in the library. I don't think that is applicable. It is well known that everyone, no matter their race, does the same thing. I've heard white girls do the same thing (btw I'm hapa). The fact that she also decided to pick up the fact that the talker was Asian and decided that being Asian correlated with bad behavior based on what sounds like one exaggerated incident, makes her racist. That suggests that she is so uncomfortable with Asians (besides her other comments) that she has to see the disturber as "Asian" rather than just a person. She could have ranted "I hate people who talk in the library." <br /><br />Sure, if she wants to be racist, fine... Asians know Asians moms are really racist... as are White people (Being hapa I have both racist Asian and White parents, lol... could be because they're both old.) but when you go out of your way to attack someone, that is crossing the line.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182862650840932810.post-49731091547663870182011-03-16T13:56:29.951-07:002011-03-16T13:56:29.951-07:00ya i said it. white people are murders. i mean who...ya i said it. white people are murders. i mean who have the white people not killed and messed up? middle east? check. africa? check. central and south americas? check. jews? check. asians? check.<br /><br />hmmmm... and david, remember, you can't say anything to me because whatever thoughts you may have about me for saying that will make you a hypocrite. <br /><br /> and you know what's even funnier? you claim to be defending a witch, while jesus defended a woman. oops?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182862650840932810.post-82297612427719417332011-03-16T13:39:36.491-07:002011-03-16T13:39:36.491-07:00ummm... did you just seriously compare russell pet...ummm... did you just seriously compare russell peters to alexandra wallace? <br /><br />if you didn't notice, i'm picking on your logic more than anything else. i could care less about her. she's obviously just naive and uneducated. you on the other hand... why are you trying so hard to justify her actions? <br /><br />The only people who would ever defend accused witches must themselves be witches.

If what you wanted was for people to be more civil in their ways of rebuking her, maybe you should have titled it to something more in line with the core of the message. but then again, what was the core of the convoluted message? <br /><br />i want to think that you're smarter individual than you portray yourself to be on this blog. your subtle choice of words to make up the title, along with using this pacific asian coalition or whatever it is to vaguely present the actual material might pass other people, but i'm not that stupid. <br /><br />like i said, don't use the blog as a blanket to cover up your own agenda. i can see you right through it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182862650840932810.post-59638567499514012302011-03-15T19:34:29.146-07:002011-03-15T19:34:29.146-07:00https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDl0X_awwjU&fe...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDl0X_awwjU&feature=related<br /><br />do you support her too?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182862650840932810.post-46283305610125335942011-03-15T19:33:21.682-07:002011-03-15T19:33:21.682-07:00i think you have a twisted logic. 2 rutgers studen...i think you have a twisted logic. 2 rutgers students that committed the wrongdoing = alexandra wallace. suicidal student = the asians she was ranting about. i don't know how you're confusing who the victims are. who's humiliated? alexandra wallace or the asians she was demeaning? <br /><br />get a grip. quit trying to justify yourself. you're just as bad as alexandra. <br /><br />in fact, i don't even think that you think that what she did was wrong. <br /><br />if all you wanted to hear was, "oh david you're so humble and godly. thanks for keeping us in check, blah blah blah"... well there you have it. hope you're happy.<br /><br />sorry david, you're being a hypocrite for telling me that i'm committing any wrongdoings.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182862650840932810.post-31490564589642268652011-03-15T19:25:10.855-07:002011-03-15T19:25:10.855-07:00"you're digging yourself a hole. you'..."you're digging yourself a hole. you're just spinning in circles with incoherent defenses."<br /><br />Shucks! And here I thought I was going somewhere.<br /><br />"to hell with the concept of morality on earth."<br /><br />Actually I rather like the idea of morality on earth. Don't misunderstand me: I'm not saying we can't rebuke people. I'm saying that we ought to be a bit humbler when we do.<br /><br />"you're not saving her from any type of stoning whatsoever."<br />Public shame is not a punishment? Knowing that literally thousands of people think you trash is nothing 'whatsoever'? I think we were all upset when we heard about the LGBT kids that committed suicide over cyber-bullying. I think that we may now consider Internet Shame a real thing with real tangible consequences. <br /><br />"you're assuming that everyone that said "nope, that's wrong" as having made death threats against her?"<br /><br />And now you're assuming that when I say that some people made death threats, that I meant all people made death threats.<br /><br />"and also, tell me that i'm being a hypocrite for criticizing you."<br />I think you're wrong (as you think me), but I don't feel like you're being driven by hypocrisy here. I sense that you're really angry about my opinions. But you haven't accused me of any wrongs that I can clearly see you committing (except perhaps generalizing).David Carreonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11816955307668560061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182862650840932810.post-55804633143530788082011-03-15T19:09:10.078-07:002011-03-15T19:09:10.078-07:00and if you haven't actually watched the video,...and if you haven't actually watched the video, you probably should...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182862650840932810.post-36053262914508810312011-03-15T19:08:58.465-07:002011-03-15T19:08:58.465-07:00"If 'being a hypocrite' means you can..."If 'being a hypocrite' means you can't rebuke someone, then I don't agree"<br /><br />Where have I said that you can't rebuke someone? Jesus mildly rebuked the woman in John 8, "Sin no more." I criticized these critics, but don't leap from that to assume that I am rejecting all rebuke.<br /><br />"I'm still not sure I understand the point of this post."<br /><br />Actually, I think you've got it. I think we may be in agreement. The essence of your hypothetical response is right. It admits the sin of the responder and humbly and compassionately calls the sinner to repentance. I'd probably translate some of the religious language into college vernacular, but you've definitely got the core. If there was an eruption of YouTube comments like that one, I'd have nothing to write about (except maybe the overflowing compassion).David Carreonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11816955307668560061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182862650840932810.post-69694587915293408092011-03-15T19:08:03.820-07:002011-03-15T19:08:03.820-07:00you're digging yourself a hole. you're jus...you're digging yourself a hole. you're just spinning in circles with incoherent defenses. <br /><br /><br />"because defending sinners against hypocrites is the right thing to do"<br /><br />think about what you said very carefully. everyone is a sinner and everyone is a hypocrite. to hell with the concept of morality on earth. to hell with order and everything that makes a civilization civil. <br /><br />on your next post, i would like to see you defending hitler, and criticizing the history book for portraying him as evil without a hint of compassion. <br /><br />and also, tell me that i'm being a hypocrite for criticizing you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182862650840932810.post-73571725919627159972011-03-15T19:06:49.363-07:002011-03-15T19:06:49.363-07:00just like how alexandra generalized all asians as ...just like how alexandra generalized all asians as from being japan and speaking ching chong a long... i don't think she even understands that asians can be americans as well... <br />you're assuming that everyone that said "nope, that's wrong" as having made death threats against her? are you kidding me? how much do you want to bet that in the scripture you presented, EVERYONE THOUGHT THAT WHAT SHE DID WAS WRONG AND CONDEMNED HER FOR IT, BUT WAS IT EVERYONE THAT THREW STONES AT HER? i don't think so. in fact, nobody on the internet who's crucified her probably has had any physical contact with her or ever will. you're not saving her from any type of stoning whatsoever. i didn't know that rebuking someone was considered stoning... oops? <br /><br />lastly, you're not defending alexandra wallace as the creation God meant her to be. you're defending her racism, and also your own. <br /><br />but really, i dare you to come up with a blog about how bad the entire world is for condemning the actions of the two rutgers' students that resulted in the suicide of another student. <br /><br />I DARE YOU.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182862650840932810.post-29763295609113012432011-03-15T15:04:14.546-07:002011-03-15T15:04:14.546-07:00@ David,
"I wanted to communicate, "Do...@ David, <br /><br />"I wanted to communicate, "Don't be a hypocrite." Do you understand the passage differently?<br /><br />Me: I agree with your stance on the passage, I don't agree with your application of how you apply the passage. If 'being a hypocrite' means you can't rebuke someone, then I don't agree that all of those that left comments on youtube were hypocrites. <br /><br />Yes, I agree with you on the point of 'don't be a hypocrite'. Jesus was about love and helped this woman get out of her rut. However, I'm still not sure I understand the point of this post. Yes, there are hypocrites, but what would your response be to a Christian person who rebuked Alexandra Wallace in a caring / loving way. (1st timothy 5:20, James 5:20, Luke 17:3-4 - there are countless others)<br /><br />If someone wrote the below on youtube, would they be a hypocrite?<br /><br />Hypothetical Response to her Video: As a sinner myself, Alexandra, your comments were not Christlike and did not represent what Jesus would do. Because of God's grace that hes poured over us, he allows us to be reconciled with Him through Jesus Christ's death on a cross. I would encourage you to think before you speak next time and not make deragatory comments that could hurt others.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182862650840932810.post-74324798901430795702011-03-15T10:24:02.182-07:002011-03-15T10:24:02.182-07:00I think Miss Wallace is inaccurate.
