Couple with your bashing of Japanese culture (through marginalizing it), I'd say you're an idiot.
Well, I don't know about most of you, but from pure guesses most of you are probably white people who don't have a score of racial opression in your ancestral past or childhood. No, I am not talking about peasant life, or the estates system, I am talking about racial opression. Sure you might experience a lot of it in other countries, but most countries these days are civilized. Since you guys don't know what life is like being black or any "skin" color, don't assume what you don't know (not saying that you do or don't-ironic). A lot of black people are still strifling against racisim. It doesn't so much as appear in the form of "Your black and I don't like you," but rather embedded through accumalation of past experiences that have rather spreaded to children and their families. Do you know why a lot of black people are thought as not very intelligent or living the gangster life? Because there past, and the way their parents have taught them, and their culture and experiences from a rough childhood, produced what we seem to "see."
Now days a lot of the african-american people are very smart, and living the western life. But let me tell you something, living western civilization is at best brainwashing, because the media, the people, and everything affect you a ton. Now I ain't a racist that is for sure, infact one of my strongest beliefs is that all humans are born equal and thus should be treated equally, no matter what they look like or what there current status is. But the matter of fact is, racism will always occur no matter what. In fact everyone, including white people, have experienced racism in their life at one point or another, just that some have it worse.
As for the issue concerning who should get what, I feel that people who so deserve it rightly should have it. Even the really poor should have some money-you could say that is a wellfare donation-but don't give it to those who don't truly deserve such money.
For example: the native-americans, they should get government funding, because originally the land we very sit on was there's, that is if they live on reserves and the original contract is still existant.
Although it most directly applies to Affirmative Action, the due process clause and other civil rights drawn from the fourteenth amendment part the majority opinion was this (Please keep in mind this was most directly in reference to the court case, affirmative action and quotas, but in terms of monetary compensation based on race is just as much applicable) ------------------------------------------- A. ...Preferring numbers of any one group for no reason other than race or ethnic origin is discrimation for it's own sake...
B. ...[T]he purpose of helping certain groups whom the faculty of the Davis Medical School perceived as victims of "societal discrimination" does not justify a classification that imposes disadvantages upon persons like respondent, who bear no responsibility for whatever harm the beneficiaries of the special admissions programs are though to have suffered. To hold otherwise would be to convert a remedy heretofore reserved for violations of legal rights into a privilege that all institutions throughout the Nation could grant at their pleasure to whatever groups are percieved as victims of societal discrimination. That is a step we have never approved...

A.
The assertion of human equality is closely associated with the proposition that differences in color or creed, birth or status, are neither significant nor relevant to the way in which persons should be treated. Nonetheless, the position that such factors must be "constitutionally an irrelevance"... summed up by the shorthand phrase "[o]ur Constitution is color-blind" Plessy v. Ferguson [1896]... has never been adopted by this Court as the proper meaning of the Equal Protection Clause. Indeed we have expressly rejected this proposition on a number of occasions...We conclude, therefore, that racial classifications are not per se invalid under the fourteenth amendment. Accordingly, we turn to the problem of articulating what our role should be in reviewing state action that expressly classifies by race.

Anyways, it is all good.
