And what gets in their way?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Example, I cannot really speak for other races, as I am Korean American, but at least, it does seem that in America, my general observation is that Americans, Asian Americans themselves included, consider Asian men as more quiet, reserved, incapable of being masculine, aggressive, and staunch. Or having poor \u00e2\u20ac\u0153genetics\u00e2\u20ac\u009d for physical strength, athletic ability, power etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I think first in America \u00e2\u20ac\u201d everyone wants to be treated with respect. Doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t matter your race or ethnicity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The nuanced question \u00e2\u20ac\u201d do you want to be treated \u00e2\u20ac\u0153equally\u00e2\u20ac\u009d? No. We want to be treated <em>superior<\/em> compared with others. Or certainly not to be treated <em>inferior<\/em> to others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I think the simple skinny of things is when it comes down to it, <strong>just don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t let anybody fuck with you. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-videopress\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"VideoPress Video Player\" aria-label='VideoPress Video Player' width='1180' height='664' src='https:\/\/videopress.com\/embed\/cOXkrKVM?cover=1&amp;posterUrl=https%3A%2F%2Ferickimphotography.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2023%2F03%2Fimg_0200_mov_std.original.jpg&amp;preloadContent=metadata&amp;useAverageColor=1&amp;hd=0' frameborder='0' allowfullscreen data-resize-to-parent=\"true\" allow='clipboard-write'><\/iframe><script src='https:\/\/v0.wordpress.com\/js\/next\/videopress-iframe.js?m=1770107250'><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-videopress\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"VideoPress Video Player\" aria-label='VideoPress Video Player' width='1180' height='664' src='https:\/\/videopress.com\/embed\/69JrekLp?cover=1&amp;posterUrl=https%3A%2F%2Ferickimphotography.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2023%2F03%2Fgx010289_mov_std.original.jpg&amp;preloadContent=metadata&amp;useAverageColor=1&amp;hd=0' frameborder='0' allowfullscreen data-resize-to-parent=\"true\" allow='clipboard-write'><\/iframe><script src='https:\/\/v0.wordpress.com\/js\/next\/videopress-iframe.js?m=1770107250'><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some thoughts; what is it that people in America want?
