Craiglist's rants and raves is unfortunately where racists often go to spout off. While the goal of this blog is generally to keep the language clean and the discussion scholarly, I think it is important and interesting to bring attention to the types of racist discourse, stereotypes, and historical events that individuals reference when posting racist diatribes. No one ever brings up race when a serial killer or crazed gunman is white. White equals invisible and race becomes an issue only when the situation involves a person of color.
It is also interesting how the author attempts to frame this quite literally as an "us versus them" game whereby Asians are competing against (presumably) white Americans to see who can rack up a higher body count.

you asian fuckers are so chicken shit you never even look a white man in
the eye when you talk to him. your whole manner in front of white people is
totally submissive. only a fucking yellow coward would shoot un-armed people. i
piss on you and all your generations you yellow dog. and we still own the record
for killing you little yellow bastards; over 3 million japs in WWII, 1 million
north korean garlic eaters and 3 million heathen chinese in the korean war, and
nearly 2 million vietnamese slopeheads in vietnam

Wow was that really Craig??
oh my, the ranter was really rambling. Somebody please help him, he's lost his mind.
And, as a side note: definition of "body language of communicating with respect" differs between cultures. In some cultures you're supposed to gaze downwards in deference of your conversation counterpart, in others you're supposed to look in the eye and talk with a straight face, and in others you're supposed to flail your arms to give gestures to what you're trying to express. None are more superior than others; they're just different, we are used to one more than the others.
It's just sad to see people blag about what they don't know. Heh, this poor guy. I could've locked my historical prodigy with him, but that'd be too much an effort for something superficial and trivial.
Yup, again if you see any racist remarks or anything that may seem racist, flag it or email me the link.
Thanks again!

craigslist racism extends to even personal listing.
If a white girl says she doesn't want Asian, it's not racism. However, an Asian girl says she doesn't want white man, it suddenly is! and it get flagged instantly.
I'm the Asian girl. Why am I forced to date white guys!
