r/Flushing

In light of the White people who clearly have bad intentions, clear racial agendas, or just are expressing one perspective unfairly, I feel like a logical and fair counterpoint needs to be made. Recent posts talked about Asian people being racist as well as the fraud in the Asian community.

First of all, it should be obvious if you have basic logic that all groups are capable of racism and some in every group are racist. I won't deny that it's an issue as well in the Asian community but in general, most Asian people just mind their own businesses when it comes to other races. We shouldn't shy away from talking about racism in the Asian community but it feels like a gaslighting attempt when it frames the Asian community uniquely having this issue, especially for zero reason.

Some Asian people may not have positive feelings about Black people due to what has happened in recent years with the Asian hate crimes. Whenever conversations about Asian people being racist comes up, it's always pitted against Black people while completely ignoring the racism that comes from the Black community, particularly regarding the hate crimes. The most racism other groups may face from Asians is some trash talking behind people's back or some minor discrimination. In general, this narrative is often used as an attempt by redditors to deflect from the White community's sins a lot of times, but I will give benefit of the doubt to the point being made.

It's important to stress the absolute MOST RACIST THING you can do is to actually commit a hate crime for being a different racial group/ethnicity/religious background, etc. This is something that has been happening for literally decades now from not only the Black community, but also from the White community. Asian people feel incredibly gaslit because for the longest time as trad media and social media has ignored it and only focused on when Asian people were racist to others. On top of that, the sociopolitical narratives has been "Asian people are white-adjacent" or "Black can't be racist" or "Asian people are the most racist group anyway" are used to deflect some of the most horrible things others commit onto Asians, further increasing their frustration.

How do you think these actions form sentiment? It doesn't form good ones for some people in the Asian community. It doesn't justify the racist actions of some but it's still minor compared to what White people do. What do white people do when their people are attacked by Black people or even when they create issues within their own communities? They create entire media narratives, YouTube videos, and podcasts about 'Black fatigue'. Yet are Asians really the big problem to Black people? Give me a break.

With that said, I don't agree with generalizing Black people negatively and am against the racism they might face from Asians or other groups. There are many wonderful Black folks living in NY and across the country. Most people who don't venture outside their ingroup tend to generalize based on what they see in the media and the bad personal experiences they or their network may have had with other groups. And this is a problem that impacts all groups in general.

One particular thing I notice on Reddit, is a form of orientalism that is pervasive among White people. They'll constantly push a narrative that Asians are the most racist to deflect their own people's racism. Yet even in Asia, there aren't Asians committing anything near the same level of hate crimes towards White people or foreigners overall compared to the amount White people commit in majority White countries. Asians only get violent when foreigners act entitled and abuse their privileges/take advantage of hospitality. Not to mention, Asians didn't go to White countries and colonize them/steal their resources.

Many Whites in the US also talk like this because they feel like they have some weird ownership of this country and immigrants should be so lucky to be here (despite many of them being immigrants too). Ironically, they do not even know the first people in the Americas were the Asian race. The natives from this country descended from the Eastern parts of Asia. Racially, the Native Americans, Intuits, Yupiks, and Alaskan Natives are Asian and can be genetically traced to East Asia.

Not to mention, various non native groups such as East Asians, SE Asians, Latinos and Black Americans helped build this country to what it is today. They are every bit as much as Americans as White people and have contributed greatly to the growth and success of this country, often without reaping the same kinds of rewards as White people have for the same efforts. They shouldn't be made to feel like perpetual foreigners.

NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT FRAUD

The other thing I noticed is people trying to talk about the healthcare fraud in the Asian community. Yes, it is a thing and I'm not a fan of it, but let's be for real, they're only talking about it because the people committing it are not White. And many of these White people (many who don't even live in Flushing) always love to deflect to non-White people for causing issues in America or in their city/neighborhood.

Yet these same people can't admit most of the fraud happening in this country are committed by White people. The politicians, the corporate shareholders, the CEOs, and the military complex with their wars that are causing this country to go into forever debt funding their overseas colonialist projects. Wait, what about health care fraud the Trump supporters love talking about that's SUCH an issue in Flushing? Well it turns out that White people commit more healthcare fraud than other groups per capita and as a percentage.

Not to mention, White people commit the majority of the tax fraud in this country.

Then there are the securities fraud, mostly committed by White people.

You want to talk about NY? Let's not ignore the cases committed by various White communities such as the ones in Brighton Beach. There has been massive fraud in the Russian community (as well as the Italian community which is another story) on an ongoing basis.

Then there are the Eastern European crime rings running fraud via health care. 10.6 BILLION LOST WHICH IS THE LARGEST IN USA HISTORY and in NEW YORK.

What about Jewish fraud?

BTW various White communities have been running various healthcare fraud schemes for WAYYYY longer than the Asian community has. They've been literally doing it for decades longer. This doesn't excuse fraud in the Asian community but let's stop acting like this is the biggest problem when your White people caused the city more losses of citizen's tax dollars in this city, state and country than any other group over many decades.

A little bit about those Trumpers sneaking in here

Some of these White people posting with racial agendas are hypocritically pro-Trump when he's defrauded many people and abused his political powder to pardon some of the biggest fraudsters.

Barbara Corcoran has something to say about Trump's fraud (something he did to other people as well, not only to her)

Let's not ignore Trump lying about his net worth to get favorable loans and defrauding investors/bankers.

And that huge fraud with his shitty Trump University he ran many years ago:

More examples of Trump pardoning his fraudster buddies who defrauded the working class and honest people while crying about various ethnic groups committing fraud.

I listed all the evidence and statistics.

FACTS OVER FEELINGS AMIRITE?

Bottom line: DO NOT get gaslit by racist Trump supporters or White people with agendas to paint the Asian community in a bad light in the Flushing subreddit. They CANNOT even HOLD THEMSELVES ACCOUNTABLE. For Trump supporters: Nobody should DEFEND TRUMP YET THEY ALWAYS WILL because they are SHAMELESS and in their low IQ minds, it's every other race's fault when America is doing badly. Most are incredibly racist and have cognitive dissonance when it comes to their own 'people' doing bad things and hurting this country.

This post has NO intention of generalizing White people or deflecting problems in the Asian community. The point is to use the same logic to call out the fallacy of some narratives as well as the hypocrisy of racist Trumpturds who are trying to frame racial and fraud issues around the Asian community in Queens, and give them a taste of their own medicine.

Anyone else lately noticing an increase amount of poop on sidewalks? They don’t look like dog poops either. They’re straight up human feces. And sometimes I’ve seen used toilet paper around the feces. Why is this happening????? It’s like almost everyday around Bowne Street where I’m seeing a pile of shit.

Finally decided to download the app after seeing ads for it everywhere around Flushing. Haven't ordered delivery but the pickup deals are really good, no? I get the deals aren't as extreme as they promote since they upcharge a bit on the app and charge a service fee but so many boba chains have deals that you can basically get them half off

I'm a white guy that has lived and worked in immigrant communities throughout Queens for a very, very long time. For a long time, I taught English to adult immigrants. Due to me being white, I have noticed other people are very comfortable saying their racist thoughts to me and assume I will agree (for obvious reasons).

The most racist things I have ever heard in my entire life have been in an English classroom in Flushing.

To give one stark example, I was running a conversation class with students who had a higher level of English. The class was almost entirely Chinese with a few Koreans and Latinos. I started class asking people what they liked best and least about New York after moving to America. When we got to what they liked least, a guy raised his hand and said "black people."

The entire class nodded their head and gave various verbal expressions noting their agreement. Young and old alike. Then another girl joined in to talk about how black people are "less evolved" which explained why they are "savages."

I was surprised by the denial of stuff like this I found in the other thread, because I have also known lots of Asian people in Flushing who acknowledge this stuff and oppose it strongly.

Anyone who has looked briefly at any history book knows Chinese, Korean, and East Asian society in general is extremely ethnocentric. The world having a natural racial hierarchy, in which their ethnicity sits at the top, is as much a "fact" as the sky being blue. The colorism and everything else is not an import from western colonialism and imperialism, but something very indigenous (which the colonists and imperialists then happily exploited for their own reasons). And this view was very apparent in all the talk of "jealousy"

I have also worked as the only white guy in a place in Brooklyn with a lot of black people for 3 years. And I heard them say crazy things about how Asians eat dogs, need to "go back", and all sorts of things.

And it is interesting, because there is an elite, the Epstein class, that love the fact normal people are divided like this against each other. They are the ones who make our lives miserable, and they are predominantly white.

Edit: Some of the shit I have read in these comments are WILD. Like half the comments are people either saying "yes, I am very racist and Asians are superior" or "yeah the racism isn't good BUT" and I will look at this in an hour and maybe delete this. Not sure what the point is in keeping this up

Edit 2: Nevermind, I just found out deleting it will still keep the comments (I am not a regular on reddit).

Long lines, average spend $2 or more, about 10,000 customers per day. Anyone else thinks MIXUE is pulling in $20,000 per day?

Has anyone else noticed an alarming decline in this particular stretch of Roosevelt over the summer? Specifically in the vicinity of the Macy’s and Flagstar Bank, by the subway entrances. Increasing homeless sprawled out on the sidewalk and mentally ill people screaming at pedestrians. What’s happening?

I grew up in Flushing and lived there for most of my life, but I moved to another part of Queens. My parents still live in Flushing and I visit them often. While I was walking along Roosevelt Ave, outside the New World Mall food court, I was behind a group of three people two Black women and a guy who looked Arab. I overheard them talking about where to get food. The guy suggested getting something from the food court, and then the two women started making comments about Chinese people serving cats and dogs. I really wanted to tell them to stfu. I’m tired of people coming to Flushing and disrespecting the neighborhood. Do you see me going to another neighborhood and being racist?

doubled my commute from the bronx back to Flushing... what the hell...

I thought there was a crazy accident on the bridge looking at the map. how often do they do this?

I moved to Flushing from Elmhurst about 4 or 5 years ago. Since living in Flushing, I have definitely seen some absolutely astounding decisions made by drivers, but I never really thought driving was substantially worse than what you might find in other parts of Queens.

But in the last few months, things have been weirder to say the least. I've almost been hit more times crossing the street when I have the right of way while walking than maybe my entire life combined. I had someone almost run me over trying to speed through a red light and then roll down his window to scream at me for being in his way.

It's very possible this has just been a weird couple of months and it's just me, but is that true or is something going on that's causing this difference I'm noticing? Something others have noticed?

Hmart is a hit or miss. Any Chinese market recommendations?

What’s up with this guy? Saw this guy around prince street & tangram today. My wife also said she and her friend got scared the other week when he suddenly ran up to them and just dropped to his knees begging for money.

Local all the way after 74th street. Are you kidding. Flushing to Hudson used to be 30 mins now it is above 40 most of the times.

I wish MTA didn’t make the train stop at places that are so close to the city like 46th, 33rd, 69th- everything after 74th is close enough to the city for a local train to be efficient enough.

Does anyone know if its ever going back to how it was before? 😭

So I have recently started working for a Chinese law firm in flushing but I’ve noticed there are no overtime pay and it doesn’t matter how much I work in 2 weeks(biweekly) I get paid the same amount, should I bring this up? This firm is super Chinese and I’m not too sure how to navigate this situation.

Edit: contract doesn’t say anything about OT but via email conversation I was notified that the role is non exempt so I think I’m cooked

Friends and I are staying in Parc Hotel in Flushing. Looking for bar/club recommendations! Or even recommendations for areas that allow for great bar hopping. Willing to take up to 25 min commute (train/car.) We're a group of six 21 year old ladies who want something busy, social with around the same age group ISH, and exciting. Like cool and intricate places/people. Thanks so much :)

Sort of hard to fit us all into one particular vibe, but we definitely want to dance. We are white, so not necessarily looking for a specific space, but some diversity would be nice. We are party girls.

Edit: Learned that Flushing itself is not the place for us, haha! However IF anybody has any recs for places we could commute to, that would be nice :,) Sorry and thank you.
