[edit] Requested move

When I first saw this article in the new pages list, I took it to mean discrimination done by non-Asians against Asians. However, it's the exact opposite. I propose a less ambiguous title, such as Racial discrimination performed by Asians or something like that... -- T.o.n.y 13:36, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

I disagree. Asian-Asian racism is very common, and this article is appropriate. DOR (HK) (talk) 05:13, 13 February 2008 (UTC)DOR (HK) Feb 13, 2008.

The title is ambiguous, but I'm not sure "performed" is the word. - Rockhurst_singer 13:39, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Survey and discussion

  • Rename to Racism in Asia, to include both racial discrimination by Asians toward non-Asians and by non-Asians living in Asia toward Asians...? (And/or merge with Racism?)  Regards, David Kernow 19:13, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Comment: As currently envisioned ("a discrimination by Asians against people of non-Asian origin in the world") the page should probably move to Anti-foreigner sentiment in Asia or Nationalism in Asia -- but is there no room for the inclusion of Asian-on-Asian racism? e.g. Japanese v Chinese or Indigenous populations? Thai v Cambodian or Shan? etc. etc. etc.? Or we do already have a separate page for that? Ewlyahoocom 09:10, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

David's idea makes sense to me. —Nightstallion (?) 11:54, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

I can't help but wonder why this article exists at all, but setting that aside, what about racism among asians? For example, Japanese and Koreans, or Luzon and Mindanao Filipinos? Technically, that is also 'Racism in Asia'. I am pushing the question of 'Why at all?' a little harder than the latter, though... I'm thinking merge with Racism. --Oceanhahn 12:51, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hong Kong

Some questions:

  1. What is the link between the lack of a minimum wage and racism?
  2. Why are Chinese discriminations against Chinese considered appropriate for an article on racism? Where is the racial context?
  3. If “recent” migrants of the same race are discriminated against, what specific date should be used to restrict such discrimination, and why?
  4. Why is the Equal Opportunities Commission – which has no jurisdiction over racial discrimination – cited in this article?
  5. What role does language of instruction play in racism, if any?

Not a clue, I just moved the article from racism by country. -mattbuck (Talk) 10:03, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
