[edit] NPOV, OR, references
The entire article has no references. I must assume it is original research. If there are no reliable sources about Asian pride, then delete the article.
Blatant POV: "In some people, the concept of Asian pride causes a resentful feeling of non-Asian cultures. These people are intolerant of non-Asian cultures." I have tagged the article for biased point of view, original research, and lack of references.
Blatant unsourced statement: "Its current usage originated on the streets in the 1990s in Los Angeles and has spread to the extent that most Asian Americans have heard of it, mostly the younger ones."
Blatant OR: "The philosophy of Asian Pride often leads to tensions and conflicts when aspects relating to Asians are disrespected, causing the disrespected Asian to react. It is possible to have Asian pride and not react to disrespect." Quelqu'un 05:42, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Song
I have the URLs and videos and mp3s of the song on my hard drive. I put the lyrics up, profane as they are. If someone disagrees with them, they better talk on the talk page. DyslexicEditor 01:25, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
Someone removed it and I put it back, but did not give a reason on this page. Just say a reason and I will be happy. DyslexicEditor 23:29, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
Unrelated, but I removed the section that reads "The rap song titled 'Got Beef?' is a controversial song by Vietnamese-Canadian rapper Chuckie Akenz." There's no explanation given as to how it's directly related to the "Asian Pride" slogan. There are well over 3.6 billion Asians in the world. We can't mention every single work by an Asian artist here, no matter how interesting. Anirvan 07:04, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Actually not all of Asian Pride
Mongoloid or Oriental? What's the best name to call what I describe here. DyslexicEditor 01:32, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
- The best name for the people described here are Asian or Asian American. Southeast Asian American and East Asian American could also be used but since Asian Americans who espouse Asian pride do not reference a single regions, all Asian or Asian American people are assumed to be included.--Dark Tichondrias 10:26, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Questionable POV
The quality and tone of this article does not appear up to Wikipedia standards. How does one go about to create the "POV is in dispute" and "quality etc" heading at the top?
"Usually they promote an equality among all races concept that is lacking in whitewashed Asian youth who believes whites are above all." This line seems like it was written by some petty limited-frame-of-reference juvenile.
I trimmed the site of unsubstantiated claims, opinions, and blanket generalizations.
[edit] CENTRAL ASIANS
Is there anything on Central Asians?
[edit] References
There are no valid source/references... the only one being a homepage of some unknown guy...(PS. the external link ain't enough...)--sin-man 10:31, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
I definitely agree with the post below... the copy on this page is ridiculously one-sided and generalized. As well, it absolutely fails to address issues of racism with any competence whatsoever.
