Sheessh.. playing the victim again.

Every race has the right to gain privilege for themselves. White and Asian privileges didn't occur overnight as you mention. It happened in centuries and millennium in the making. Why? Because these people believe in bettering themselves through innovation and trial and error, not sit around getting left behind and conveniently blaming the other races.
Where in that statement did I play anything of being a victim? Every human being has an individual right to gain privilege, you do not have the right to propel one entire spectrum of people over another...sorry, you don't...whites only did it because they had all the power, money, and capability. Asians did it by being an insular race that had it not been for Commodore Perry, the Japanese would still have an Emperor, the Chinese would still have the Ming dynasty ruling them...

We didn't get left behind, we got steamrolled over...blacks didn't get left behind, they were forced to the back of the bus.
You can continue to hold that resentment against the whites who are alive today but has nothing to do with the Indian tribes of several hundred years ago or you can drive on.

Certain people of every race will find reasons to hate another race for no apparent reason but based the hate solely on just because he/she is [insert race here]. That is a fact of life. This prejudice and racist is not excluded to the U.S. It's happening in Europe and Asia.

Several hundred years ago? Native Americans were still second class citizens by law in many parts of the country through the 1960s and 1970s. Even now, they're considered second class citizens in a few parts of the country. Hell, they're constantly having to fight with the Federal government just to get treaty obligations met.

This isn't stuff that ceased to have any impact a hundred or two hundred years ago.

My Grandfather was the first of my family line to become a citizen of the United States under the Snyder Act of 1924. Prior to that we were still a sovereign people. In Oklahoma, they call my people "prairie n-word". They are hated just because of their skin color. There is no "it's a fact of life", it is a vile symptom of people who believe they should be set above others simply because they don't have a tan.

In the southeast, such an attitude was actually codified into Law under Jim Crow which existed from approximately 1876 to 1964 with the passage of the Civil Rights Act. Minorities especially blacks were 2nd class citizens...and restrictions came in abounds over what they could do.

If you continue to hod that resentment, I suggest you don't leave your comfort zone. For every person who can see 180 degree, there are probably 8 who can only see 90 degree. That is a fact of life. You cannot tell 6 billion plus people to sing kumbaya along with you unless you outlaw hate of thoughts about hate.

In Japan, if you are not Japan ese, you are second class.
In India, if you are poor, you are an outcast because of their caste system.
In China, you are poor, you are considered a servant class.

America is probably better than those three. At least you're have the right to challenge the court and a lawyer assigned to you.

My family lodge has a prescious written diary of an ancestor that walked the Trail, it's behind a vacuum sealed glass box of course, but every time I look at it...I am reminded that there was a time when we were thought of the same as blacks do now.
Cause blacks,whites, injuns etc... are monolithic in thought based on skin color...

Being aware of the facts does not equate to harboring resentment.

America is not better than Japan and that fact becomes self-evident on a trip there.

Really, you've been to Japan, and on what standard do you state we are not better?

You can drink on the streets of Tokyo, they have better public schools, better infrastructure, and longer life spans. I'll grant you Tokyo doesn't have the historical feel that New York does.

I can drink on the streets of New Orleans? Way better music, oh, and food, and well, women, err and..well...fun, the Japanese are not really a funny people...they're not known for a sense of humor.

They can also be extremely racist towards blacks, just ask any of the black servicemembers who are stationed there. They think of Koreans as dogs. Better public schools is in the eye of the beholder. Your standards are not proven.

That is expected. I gave you objective reasons why Japan was better and you responded completely subjectively and emotionally. Take a trip on the Bullet train and hop a ride on Amtrak and then tell me which is better. What is great about America was built in the distant past such as the Empire State Building or Hoover dam while Japan's presently continued engineering and cultural achievements greater than anything seen in America. I'll admit no Japanese building compares to the Empire State Buikding, but that was put up nearly a century ago.

Objective? Seriously, you gave a rather loose opinion based more along subjective lines then my own very much informed opinion, one which is corroborated as well. I spent two tours of duty there, more then enough time to get a subjective opinion of them.

You just stated, that nothing the Japanese have built is better then the Empire State Building or the Hoover Dam, with all their vaunted tech, they still can't beat buildings and edifices built a century ago.

As for the bullet train, I'd prefer a nice ride along the Trans-Canadian, why would I take a train and not be able to enjoy the ride long enough to enjoy the scenery?

When were you in Japan and were you stationed beyond Okinawa? What has this country built that equaled the Empire State Building? Nothing.
