Excellent article. 1972? Holy cow.
<i><b>
The Chinese were the target of the largest missionary campaign ever mounted in the history of mankind. It's now in its fifth century.</b> The American missionary movement is now in its second century. In 1871, the Reverend John L. Nevius wrote:
The Chinese as a race are, as compared with the European nations, of a phlegmatic and impassive temperament, and physically less active and energetic. Children are not fond of athletic and vigorous sports, but prefer marbles, kite-flying, and some quiet games of gall, spinning tops, etc. Men take an easy stroll for recreation, but never a rapid walk for exercise, and are seldom in a hurry or excited. They are characteristically timid and docile... While the Chinese are deficient in active courage and daring, they are not passive in resistance. They are comparatively apathetic as regards to pain and death, and have great powers of physical endurance as well as great persistency and obstinacy. On an average a Chinese tailor will work on his bench or a literary man over books with his pen, more hours a day than our race can.

The Chinese in the parlance of the Bible, were raw material for the "flock," pathological sheep for the shepherd. The adjectives applied to the Chinese ring with scriptural imagery. We are meek, timid, passive, docile, industrious. We have the patience of Job. We are humble. A race without sinful manhood, born to mortify our flesh. Religion has been used to subjugate the blacks, chicanos, and Indians along with guns and whips. The difference between these groups and the Chinese was that the Christians, taking Chinese hospitality for timidity and docility, weren't afraid of us as they were of other races.</i>
Those of you who find Christianity attractive should read this carefully. One of the reasons I rejected Christianity at an early age is the implied racism in every tenet. Very few "Christian" churches follow the true teachings of Christ. Sure, honor Christ and his teachings...but support churches? You're supporting your own subjugation.
The sources of Chinese-American self-contempt are white Christianity, the sojourner's state of humiliation, overt white racism, and legislative racism. Each served to exclude the Chinese-American from the realm of manliness and American culture.
While legislative racism has receded and sojourners are less prevalent, the media today is the omnipresent substitute, spreading the virus of white supremacy into more and more minds, without overt coercion. Sure, you can watch Jet Li or Jackie Chan kick some ass, but they can NEVER be allowed to express any sexual characteristics on screen. That is not permissible in the white supremacist mindset.
Only when Asia's economies eclipse those of the US and Europe will this change. It will take decades. And it may result in trade wars and open wars, resulting in US media demonization of Asians and Asian Americans. Be aware....be careful.
