There will always be shitty individuals out there. I honestly don't give a fuck about these little food jokes and shit. If a black person wants to throw a tantrum over fried chicken and watermelon, let them. It doesn't mean we should imitate their behavior. Asian food is THOUSANDS of times more popular now than it was 100 years ago. Not to mention the recipes are far more authentic than your average American Chinese food.
Being treated like a 4th class citizen means there would be barriers all over society. I don't see that at all. Don't fall into the victim mentality.
We're 5%. I'm not expecting representation, nor do I care. I'd rather cultivate strong values to succeed in American society. Blacks have massive overrepresentation, but have massive cultural issues. LGBT are massively overrepresentated, but have massive issues as well.
Let success bring the spotlight. Jeremy Lin got hype for putting up the numbers when it counted, even though he fell off later. I would be massively embarrassed if he was a a mediocre player like Kapernick whose sole claim to fame was his skin color. Justin Lin got his big break doing F&F3 after doing a few independent films. He got to do more blockbuster F&F films plus a Star Trek film. Do such a good job that they can't ignore you. That's the right way, not whining about the world being unfair. That doesn't bring respect.
Maybe they have their own opinion that racism didn't keep them from doing what they wanted. It doesn't have to be the end-all issue. And the bamboo ceiling is bunk. Look at all the Asian CEOs, Google, Microsoft, Nvidia, AMD. Asians in many prominent positions of government and military as well. Interim ICE director is Vietnamese. We have a rear admiral in the Navy who is Vietnamese. We have a two star general in the Army who is Vietnamese. You think they let white people have these positions in Asia, especially if they were foreign born like these men were? Come on man. The only ceiling here is the one that you imagine.

My local places still making enough money to do take out. Last time I went, there was a line.
