Watch this - Jeremy Lin

[Jah_rastafar_I]

What pisses me off is that locally there were a number of these locals slamming j-lin. Hoping he would lose. These ppl are haters and some of them didn't like lin cos he's chinese and not of their race even though lin is called an asian over there which is a very very general term just like caucasian. These ppl have been dick suckers and nut huggers of black or white atheletes especially in football and b-ball for so long that they can never stand to see their own actually making it big. One of the researchers call this the crab bucket syndrome. Everytime a crab tries to climb out of a bucket full of crabs the rest of them pull it back down preventing it from getting out. There are some asian haters out there that hope others don't succeed cos they cannot succeed too.

Look at how lin was stereotyped due to his race. He has the height and the built and the skill but all cos he's asian so many ppl stereotyped him as being a poor b-ball player. Many of them didn't have a problem negatively stereotyping him like that cos in the US the only race that cannot be stereotyped negatively are blacks and also whites too even though they don't say it out loud whites don't like to be stereotyped negatively.

It's cos chinese ppl by and large take it so readily to be stereotyped negatively. Like i can say hey chinese are nerds and weaklings and other chinese ppl will agree with me. Their positive traits somehow don't seem to be readily admitted on like super hard working attitude, ability to survive anywhere, super intelligent. Now how many times have you seen a chinese or actually anyone write this? Not that many times.

In any case Lin has made his mark.

nah beh....J Lim is he not an Amercian? His parents quitted Taiwan.

why the Taiwanese all so proud of quitters?

Lin was born in Los Angeles, California, and grew up in a Christian family in the San Francisco Bay Area city of Palo Alto.[3][4][note 1] His parents, Gie-Ming and Shirley, emigrated from Taiwan to the United States in the mid-1970s.[7][8] They are dual nationals of both Taiwan and the U.S.[9] Lin's paternal family comes from Beidou, Changhua in Taiwan (his father's distant ancestors immigrated to Taiwan from Zhangpu County, Fujian, in mainland China, in 1707),[9][10][11] while his maternal grandmother immigrated to Southern Taiwan in the late 1940s from Pinghu, Zhejiang in mainland China.[9][12][13]
Lin's parents are both 5 feet 6 inches (1.68 m) tall.[14] His maternal grandmother's family was tall, and her father was over 6 feet (1.8 m).[13] Lin has an older brother, Josh, and a younger brother, Joseph.[8] Gie-Ming taught his sons to play basketball at the local YMCA.[15]

The real profound reason is that Taiwanese are human beings, unlike sinkies

'Lin-tense' war of words between Taiwan, China
AFP
Sunday, Feb 19, 2012

TAIPEI - New NBA sensation Jeremy Lin has sparked a war of words between Taiwan and China as the rivals seek to lay claim to being the New York Knicks player’s true ancestral homeland.

US-born Lin, whose parents are Taiwanese immigrants, has been hailed as “the glory of Taiwan” and inspired a feverish following on the island after coming off the bench and powering the Knicks to a stunning run of triumphs this month.

His fans in Taiwan range from President Ma Ying-jeou to teenagers rushing to get a Lin haircut. The Taiwan sports lottery has seen brisk sales as buyers place record bets on matches featuring him.

“It’s humbling, a privilege, and an honour. I’m really proud of being Chinese, I’m really proud of my parents being from Taiwan,” Lin said in a recent interview.

But there are also many across the Taiwan Strait who want to claim Lin as their own. His maternal grandmother is from the mainland, and there are even outlandish calls for him to represent China in the upcoming Olympics.

“Lin is virtually a household name in China, like Yao Ming, and there is wave after wave of calls for him to join the Chinese basketball team in the London Olympics,” said the state news agency Xinhua.

Yao, China’s first global sporting icon, joined the Houston Rockets in 2002 as the first player from outside the United States to be selected as the top NBA draft choice.

“Lin is making our China look good,” read one message on China’s popular microblog Sina Weibo.

“Lin is a legend in my family, even my mother who didn’t watch sport before now really likes him because he is Chinese and he can score,” said another.

Xinhua, which said Lin’s ancestors hail from the eastern Chinese province of Zhejiang, noted that he would have to renounce his US citizenship in order to play for China.

“How to turn the calls into reality would require the Chinese basketball association to make concrete efforts to attract talent and Lin to (show) determination and seize the opportunity,” Xinhua said.

Lin’s family in Taiwan, however, beg to differ.

“He is Taiwanese, a true Taiwanese and some remarks (that he is not) are wrong,” Lin’s paternal grandmother Lin Chu A-muen told reporters in Taiwan.

His uncle Lin Heng-cheng told AFP: “We are very happy and very proud of him. He is Taiwanese and his grandmother and many relatives live in Taiwan.
These are indisputable facts.”

Taiwan, which is officially recognised by only 23 countries, has struggled to emerge from the shadow of its giant neighbour China ever since their split in 1949 after a civil war.

“Since Lin’s grandma and uncle all stress that their whole family including him are Taiwanese, isn’t anyone who deliberately says he is not sick?” said a message posted on Taiwan’s United Daily News online forum.

The Lin phenomenon taps into a deeper yearning among Taiwanese.

The island, which lags behind China in political and military clout, has anxiously looked to talents with Taiwanese roots in the fields of sports, entertainment and arts to help boost its international profile.

Oscar-winning film director Ang Lee and fashion designer Jason Wu, both born in Taiwan and based in the United States, are also dubbed the “glory of Taiwan” for their professional achievements.

“The ‘Lin-sanity’ in Taiwan reflects Taiwan’s insecurity and lack of confidence due to its long-time isolation in the international community,” said George Tsai, a political analyst at the Chinese Culture University in Taipei.

“Taiwan needs a hero and an icon and wants to think Lin as one of us, to share in his pride and fame. But he is more American than Taiwanese and there is no need to label him,” Tsai said.

The mass-circulation Apple Daily newspaper said the public had every right to be proud of Lin’s Taiwanese ancestry and while it was “annoying” that China claimed him as its own, mainlanders were also right to admire him.

But it stressed: “We should not force him to identify himself as Taiwanese or Chinese, as his nationality is American and he is an American.”

And not everyone in China itself agrees with the attempts to adopt Lin as truly Chinese.

“I think Lin is an American and has nothing to do with China. It’s funny and ironic to claim that he is winning glory for China,” said another message on Sina Weibo.

K-Pop Song Writer Forked Blacks In USA

Jenny Hyun's racial slur

20 Feb – The co-songwriter of South Korean girl groups SNSD and Chocolat, Jenny Hyun, recently sparked controversy with a slew of racist tweets.

According to Koreaboo, on 16 February, the former singer posted over a dozen derogatory comments on her Twitter against African-Americans, after boxer Floyd Mayweather's made a comment about NBA star Jeremy Lin, stating, "Jeremy Lin is a good player but all the hype is because he's Asian. Black players do what he does every night and don't get the same praise."

The angry Hyun responded that Floyd was a "subhuman, ungrateful APE," and then started spreading vitriol about the black community in general. She insinuated that Whitney Houston's recent passing was not such a loss because of "all that baggage" she came with, and referred to African-Americans as "disgusting, violent, arrogant, and stupid."

Then, in a frightening twist, she repeatedly called for the eradication of the entire black race, saying among the few, "Eradication of one toxic family is exactly what this world needs" and "We don't know what it's like with them not here. But imagine a world with NO BLACK PEOPLE. All the tension in every aspect of life would be drastically improved without them around. And ONLY them."

K-Pop fans started tweeting her to tell her to stop. Following the slew of angry tweets she received, Hyun protected her Twitter account and then posted an apology of sorts on her blog. The sincerity of her apology left something to be desired, as she prefaced it with an explanation that it was because people were saying that they knew where she lived, and followed it up with a statement that she did not regret what she said.

The former singer also posted a blog entry with memes that read "I regret nothing," and another that compared a modest hut in Africa to a picture of the Roman Empire 2000 years ago, ostensibly in order to draw a contrast between the quality of the two civilizations. Later that day, she also tweeted, "I Love KFC #YaHeard" and "This is not Black America, THIS IS ASIA AMERICA."

As of now, the so-called apology has been removed from her site, while the memes remain.

wow that's hard but she has my respect. Many african americans have been very rude and disrespectful for the longest time. They take the piss out of everyone but they especially love to do it to asians. It's good she does this respect to her.
