62. PLEASE NOTE
There is none. They all live in middle or upper class homes, and asian teenagers Drive souped up Honda and Acura racing cars ala fast and furious.

I am leaving this thread unlocked because the discussion in it is mostly civil and it touches upon interesting and significant topics, such as race and class relations in the U.S. and the potential for division within the progressive community via so-called "heirarchies of oppression."

That said, please note our rules:

When discussing race, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, or religion, please exercise the appropriate level of sensitivity toward others and take extra care to clearly express your point of view. This will help avoid misunderstandings and undeserved accusations of bigotry.

It is absolutely inappropriate to stereotype all members of a racial group in a certain fashion. Not all Asian teenagers drive Hondas and Acuras. Not all Asian teenagers are into street racing. And certainly not all Asians live in upper or middle class homes.

Please take care to exercise as much sensitivity as you can in this thread. Thank you!
