Discrimination
My father was and is the expert on this matter. He was the father I idolized as I grew older and realized what I had. I would never dare ask my father if he ever thought the Chinese were discriminated in mainstream America. That would be like asking my Catholic friends if the Pope were Catholic. I ran across a few Catholics in my life but not enough to know better and ask a coworker when I first arrived to work in Belvedere/Tiburon if the Pope were Catholic. I was looked upon with the most incredible look….astounding. This blog will not be a book on whether the Chinese have been discriminated upon throughout the history of the United States of America. The fact has already been established when I googled the question to Google whether the Chinese in America have ever been discriminated against. The tricky part about writing this blog on the news is that I have been instructed by my mentors not to get personal when writing anything. I do know robots are getting into everything like production and replacing top chess players and blue collar workers to even writing and there is no way I can envision a writing machine getting personal. The top writing idol of mine besides Norman Mailer is Ann Frank perhaps the greatest writer of all time in my opinion. She became a great writer because she kept a little girl's diary and she was so personal with this diary that it became the giant of all stories told. If I had a good strong will I would hide my first and last name from any blog as I did start out as being anonymous but somehow through the adventures of being a hobbyist at writing this blog my name got out. Google knows everything…well…almost. My question as I have so often posed for the famous people seen as guest speakers on radio shows will be posed to the readers of this blog. Will the Chinese ever be seen as equals? Or will they be forever remained as the yellow peril an invading force of undesirable aliens hated and despised by the races particularly the white race? I always thought one of the greatest Presidents of The United States of America was quoted as saying that all men are created equal and a great war where we lost the most war casualties of all times was in the great American Civil War? He did pretty good for himself if you ask me for he got his picture on a five dollar bill. How many people I ask you my readers do you know who have their pictures on a coin or a bill?
