    What does that have to do with anything?

    I can't imagine anyone would be foolish enough to presume immigrants are the same as their government which is absolutely a nemesis of the United States.

    If it walks and quacks like a duck riddled with worms, then it ain't a Duc.

    Yeah, I wouldn't be annoyed with Dr. Zaius if he honored his bets and paid Clutch thru the tip jar. Opinions and insults are a dime a dozen, but I can't respect a welsher who cheaply talks about principles and values.

    Bit sad and pathetic he used his Viet wife like that, but who am I to judge...

    Correct. That isn't the same as Russian immigrants.

    The government of the adversary to the United States has little to do with 95% of Russians in the United States.

    Don’t believe your lying eyes. These are the dangerous white supremacist arseholes that jaygoogle and reeko are talking about and would convince you to be so. But hey, let’s go after this gioan guy and pretending he’s this general guy who welched on his bets, and discrediting him for being Vietnamese just because we’re butthurt, and we cannot take the truth about white supremacists committing all these transgressions against Asians. Lol

    If you’d asked me, those 2 clowns I’ve mentioned above are definitely white supremacists. Do not trust your lying eyes.

    @Reeko

    somehow it feels like it's only me who's bringing up new incidents and there's a complete lack of outrage

    don't want to believe what @Gioan Baotixita says
    but it seems that it might be narrative driven here

    if you exclude race for both victim and assailant
    you get
    1.criminal with violent rap sheet, who's out for some reason
    2. mentally ill
    3. homeless
    4. in badly run metropolitan cities with lots of segregation and wealth gaps: San Francisco, Oakland, New York, Chicago

    and Yes i've been to all these cities unlike these broke ass losers here and have made road trips to see the Rockets there

    I understand that the D&D is basically this 2 dimensional LEFT VS RIGHT crap, that us superior intellects who think in 3D like me find so primitive

    So I get that people now want one dominant party, you know what that looks like?
    China

    That's a perfect example of what happens when you have only one party

    Very nice touch tinman. I’m far from the one party guy. I have had this discussion with other Vietnamese as well as Asians. Privately, they all know who committed these heinous crimes against Asians, but for politics sakes, they cannot speak the truth publicly.

    I do not give a crap about what people think of me, if a certain group keeps on attacking my people, I’m gonna called a white supremacist a white supremacist.:confused:

    I post in the GARM more than you do, @tinman. What you are saying in your post is dishonest. There have been, and continue to be, extensive discussions about a host of topics in D&D. Like me, there are numerous members with an interest in issues and topics that have nothing to do with basketball, but basketball, and the Rockets, brought them here. Guess what - Hangout consists of discussions about dozens and dozens of topics that have nothing to do with basketball, nothing to do with the Rockets.

    The only difference between Hangout, and Debate and Discussion, are the kinds of topics being discussed. @Clutch described D&D himself when he created the forum. Here's his description below:

    "Monkeys flinging poo at each other. Politics, Religion, Race and other heated topics you wouldn't fire away on in polite conversation. Not for the weak of heart, but keep it civilized or you'll get the heave."

    @Clutch created D&D because those controversial topics were conflicting with the purpose of Hangout, and while there was some disagreement about the change then, time has proven that it was a great idea. Believe it or not, many members, myself included, have enjoyed discussing "politics, religion, race and other heated topics" here for the last several years. Unlike you, they view it as simply another part of ClutchFans, where they can pass some time talking about things they might not be able to talk about at home or at work, and for many here there is enjoyment in doing so.

    Like the country at large, over the last 4-5 years, positions on issues have hardened, and civility is not what it once was. That doesn't take away from the value of the forum, but it does have a tendency to make it less enjoyable, just like our country isn't quite what it once was. We adapt. Most of us are grownups, and we still manage to have interesting discussions here, and sometimes learn a thing or two.

    You, however, seem to spend more time denigrating D&D, @tinman, than you do using it for the purpose it was intended for, the reason @Clutch created it. You insult the members here over and over again. Not members in particular, but rather members in general. If you find the forum so awful, then why are you here?

    I think people here
    1. Don’t really care about this topic
    2. Waiting for a ‘narrative’ story so they can be outraged
    3. Fail to understand the localized factors that contribute to this
    4. Just too Gringo
    5. Wasn’t on cable news so not news

    Yeah this is all Fake Outrage
    This is like in the GARM when fans only pop up when we lose and say nothing when we win

    the real fans accept the truth and discuss it

    harden is good but fat
    Porter Jr ain’t a real point guard
    Tilman hasn’t really done anything bad since people are eating at Landry’s again

    why aren’t Asians in Houston or Dallas targeted like they are in California

    what’s the racial tension between all races in every city

    why is the Bay Area so segregated?
