What good is having power if you're unable to exercise it? It's the same as not having it to begin with. It's the end result that is important, not the process. If you don't act on your desires, you'll never realize your plans, correct? Yes, it is.

It's not the same. People, regardless of what race/ethnicity, need to voice their opinions when they feel they've been disrespected. If people just sit quietly by and do nothing, then they are not exercising their options, so if I'm not saying/doing anything, then I haven't even begun to show my value/leverage. Why? Because I haven't used it. The voice is a powerful weapon. So is money...... Neither will be known, though, if they're not used........... I disagree, Robert. It’s not the same.

No one gives a shit if you tried, it's about what you've accomplished that matters. When you write up a resume, do you put what you've actually accomplished in life? Or do you put all your attempts? It's about end results, not attempts. Is anyone surprised that Asian Americans haven't made that many social gains? Hell, I'm not.

I think everyone, at some point, needs to work in the financial industry for one reason alone; it shows you how brutal people and *real* some people can be. Life isn't complicated, folks. There is a rhyme and reason to everything and how the world ends up the way it does. I don't mean to be harsh but the more I observe the Asian American community and how it "troubleshoots" issues, the more I sit back and laugh. Not only are the solutions to problems wrong but they're also on a completely incorrect tangent. Again, you're completing the roof to the house with no foundation. You're replacing brand new windshield wipers on a busted windshield. Lana, that’s the same as not having any value or leverage.

They're loads of self hating people out there in every race. Asians/Asian Americans do have value and leverage...they just don't exercise it. 21st century people. If you don't show that you're worthy of respect, no one will. Just want to point out that it is very possible to be racist towards your own race.

While it might be racist and offensive, no one listens to a scrub with no value. Here's the simple formula to being acknowledged: When you have no value, you have no leverage. When you have no leverage, you become someone else's bitch. Asian Americans have no value which is why no one gives a crap. Pardon my French. Yes, I'm a 20-something Asian male, not a white guy in disguise. It might be sheer coinincidence but when the conversation switches to women over here, all the white guys here refer to Asian women as "pandas." Alas, the things that Asian women don't know when the doors are closed.
