Better having Chinese moving into your neighborhood than some of the other ethnicity that are known to be much, much worse. Haven't heard much of a crime rate with the Chinese.

fuck that. I mean, if I never wanted to interact with my neighbors, sure. But if I wanted to feel like a part of the community, latinos are way better as a neighbor. Can't get more warm and friendly than hispanic people. Plus mexican food >> chinese food

in my neighborhood, i have chinese, filipinos, blacks, mexicans and whites
and you know who the worst neighbor is?

they leave garbage cans/trash on their front yard which isn't mowed, they have 5-6 cars parked everywhere, they have 6-7 kids and 2-3 families living in 1 house. they constantly let their dogs shit all over our yards and don't care. yep it's the hank hills.

every other neighbor keeps their house clean, lawns mowed, and are friendly with eachother

the worst thing to ever happen was the housing bubble burst when trash could now afford to move in, or just squat

I don't give a shit.
 
This thread should be closed. If this was about any other race, it would be closed. And how do you know they are Chinese? There are many groups, koreans, viets, thai, hmong, cambodian, laotian, japanese, taiwanese, filipino, samoan, etc... Don't be so closed minded. Be thankful for these neighbors. Do you want shootings and graffiti? Loud music from ghetto cars?

Stereotypes are the refuge of people who find thinking difficult.

Denying "stereotypes" are simply people whom ignore statistical facts. No one is saying a particular person does something, but a particular group comprising of that person has a much higher probability % of doing something.

How can you bash climate change deniers and then deny statistics yourself? :awe:
 
I currently live in Auckland in NZ. City population is 1.5 million, the asian population has jumped from 150k to over 300k in 13 years. It's doubled in barely over a decade.

The largest city in the country will be a white minority within 25 years.

The world is changing, that's for sure.

Other people are worried/concerned about their family legacy.

White people just want to sit around and drink margarita's and yell at their miserable children that can't pass high school math.

Just because they are friendly doesn't mean they will always cook for you....

How would reporting the one house doing it affect the others ?

It is pretty much illegal with that intent, I believe.

I don't even know if it's illegal:

Although it is not illegal for a foreigner to give birth in the United States, agents with U.S. Customs and Border Protection ask visibly pregnant tourists when they plan to deliver and how long they plan to stay in the U.S. Entry is allowed or denied at the discretion of the admitting officer, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

Given the economics behind birth tourism, I doubt you'll get rid of it through law enforcement. It will take a change in the law.

From what I understand, Chinese mothers pay $50,000 to give birth in the U.S. Every house on my block has at least four bedrooms. Assuming three are rented out to pregnant women at six months a pop, you're looking at $300,000 a year. All of it deposited in cash in China so there's nothing US officials can do.

Meh, they work hard, pay their bills, take care of their families... welcome to America!

That's the thing. They are not staying here. They do it strictly for the citizenship, which can give their kids advantages later in life. After they give birth, they go back to their home countries.

The only reason I even noticed something odd about one of the houses was that the cars were changing every few months; presumably when new expectant mothers moved in and bought different cars. They REALLY keep to themselves otherwise.

Why on earth wouldn't I know there are Chinese? It's not hard to tell. Furthermore, most of my kids' friends are now Chinese. Most of the parents at their school is Chinese. Most of the kids and their fathers in Boy Scouts are now Chinese and I go camping with them. My kids even attend a Chinese after school program every weekday.

Then you tell me not to be close minded and suggest that non-Asians are responsible for shootings, graffiti, and loud music? How rich.

I don't know about loud music and graffiti, but I'm fairly certain Asians are very under-represented in shootings.

That depends on if you are categorizing Filipinos and other Southeast/Pacific Asians as "Asians" or not.

A few years ago, my friend showed me a list of everyone murdered in LA County. It was like 90% black/Hispanic, 5% white, 5% Southeast Asian. There wasn't a single East Asian name on there IIRC. We were both surprised how much it skewed black/Hispanic.
 
This thread is closed.

Race just cannot be talked on this forum without devolving into posts of race-baiting, race stereotypes and worse.

No more of these threads.
