Then it shouldn't be any problem for you to name 10 successful half-Asian people (with white father), as the "Eurasian Writer" blogger has requested.



I will start with one: Harry B. Harris Jr., Commander, United States Pacific Command. Japanese mother, white American father. That was my wife's contribution to the list. You can complete the other 9 names.

I have been in the world of science and technology in the last 30 years. I have encountered people from virtually all types of minorities. Women, yes. LGBTQ, yes. Black/Afro-American, yes. Hispanics, yes. Physically challenged, yes (including a blind Python programmer in the early days of Internet, who would put to shame all able-bodied parents here who cannot learn to make one single cartoon video clip). Muslims/Buddhists, yes. Half-Asians with white father, ...., urgh..., really not sure. I can't even name one person, let alone find one single half-Asian scientist/engineer (with white father) that could serve as an inspirational role-model for younger children. (I have a few good Eurasian scientist friends, but their fathers are Asian. Also, they are not American.)



To me, that's a glaring problem.

Children are born like a blank sheet of paper. Success or failure is largely result of their upbringing process. I don't believe children of any kind of background have primordial sins of any kind. You can complain all you want about your family background, but remember somewhere in the world, a blind person learned to write computer programs by using his ears, while some others complained that their life is so miserable because they can't get a date of their liking.



So the question is: what went wrong in the upbringing of Eurasian children (particularly white fathers)? Until we figure out this question, like the "Eurasian Writer" blogger says, Elliot Rodger and so many others that he has mentioned in one of his videos would be "just the beginning."

Autism to me is a gift. Yes, I do see many Eurasian children on the spectrum. If anyone gets offended by that, I scratch my head.

I think kraftiekortie was responding to my post, in which I said I knew a few (actually more than a few) half Asian people who were quite successful, and then went on to describe the various successful fields the half Asian people I know are in.You did not respond to my post, only kraftiekortie's reply. Maybe since my response did not support your sweeping generalizations about half Asian males, you chose to ignore it.In your original post, you cite a man who has a huge chip on his shoulder about his own experience being a half Asian male, then you cite an article about a murderer who happens to be half Asian, and diagnosed on the spectrum (I will add that this murderer also had other diagnoses besides Autism), and you claim that these two things prove your theory about all (or most) half Asian males. I think this is ignorant, at best, and racist, at worst. Please do not use your own, isolated, individual experience of the world as a platform to support negative opinions about a whole race of young men. This is what racist people do.I do not find your report that there are "so many" half Asians on the spectrum offensive, I just do not think it is true. I find unsupported claims as "truth" offensive, and racism.
