I'm one of those people who usually believe in aliens and supernatural stuffs.
However, I've been reading a bunch of their article after searching it using the mylot search bar and I've come to notice something that is troubling me.
Are aliens racist?
1. Many of you might have realize this but most if not all that said they were abducted by aliens are usually white people. The amount of dark people telling stories of them being abducted by aliens is close to none. It is always white people being interviewed here and there. No offense by the way.
2. I searched some more and noticed this. Aliens are always seen somewhere near the wasteland with a bunch of cactus, a forest or any part of the North America around Mexico. I've even tried searching using the following keywords : Asia and Alien. The result that I found is that the amount of aliens story there is almost close to none. The amount of stories revolting around North America is much higher. The best I can find about Asian Aliens are "someone dressing in weird clothes" while the American are already telling about how they were forced to go into the UFO and how they were experimented on. Some articles even said that "Asian people doesn't care about aliens" but that is just plain wrong.
I really want to believe that aliens exist but if these questions cannot be answer, it makes me feel like all those stories being told are just made up by those who just watched too much movies.

Aliens DO exist! There are many governments around the world who have called me an alien. It seems that any foreigner in some countries is automatically called an alien. I certainly object to this and I'm equally sure that little green men would object too! Yes, it is racist!
I'm just having a little rant here. How are things in your "unspecified" country?
I heard on a TV documentary that all Chinese people are descended from Aliens who visited the Earth during the peak times of the Inca Empire. Perhaps that would explain why Asians don't care about aliens. Isn't it amazing what rubbish comes out of our televisions?

Now that documentary show is something I must see.
I also heard this news once in my counter (Thailand) where they talked about a weird marble falling from the sky. However, that is mainly what happens to most Asian people.
So far, I only found 1 article that include being abducted with no test or whatsoever. Plus, the aliens only had 1 eye and were wearing a metal clothes.
Try searching up on "Alien Encounters in Southeastasia" because I cannot copy and paste links yet.

I do believe that there are life on other planets and they probably have visited this planet some time. However, if the aliens are advanced enough to have the type of technology to visit far away planets, I can't imagine that they would still be so petty as to care about things like that. I also doubt that they would just abduct people all the time. I think humans over-inflate their importance. Furthermore, imagine this: Say a human wants to learn about dogs; would they pick one breed to study or wouldn't it make more sense to study the whole species as a whole?
I believe that most of the accounts are not real, not that people are lying, but rather more that they are just mistaken. I think that there are other factors that account for this misproportion of whites claiming to see UFO's. UFO just means "unidentified flying objects". The US government has done a lot of experiments involving flying disks that to most would be a "UFO" and could be mistaken for non-terrestrial flying objects.
Another possible reason could be that these people are just more excited about this idea of aliens visiting Earth. Not that asians "don't care about aliens" like that article said, but rather that they just don't care as much, don't obsess over the idea.
It's hard to say really why it's like this, but I don't think it really matters. A million false accounts doesn't discredit the possibility of the existence of aliens.

Maybe nothing is special about the wasteland or forests, maybe a lot of white people that live in those areas are crazy or have bad eye-sight. ;)
Maybe you are right about the documentary people, or maybe it could even be that the media sources are racist and just don't show the documentaries featuring witnesses of other races.
About the disc-shaped flying objects, supposedly this makes them fly better, makes them more maneuverable and has to do with the energy-source and stuff like that. I have watched a lot of programs about them. Discover channel is awesome. Pretty interesting stuff.

Maybe they're looking for friends? I, for one, would like to be friend with an alien alright.
I'm wondering why aliens only travel in "Disc-shaped" flying things anyway? Why haven't any other shape been seen? Even us human travel to other planet using a spaceship that is not disc-shaped.
What really bothers me is that the people who usually gets to tell the tales are 90-100% white people that live somewhere near wasteland/forest. What's so special about wasteland or forest?
(Crazy idea here) Maybe alot of dark people also saw and experience it but the one doing the documentary were being racist.

Hi, Zeits!
I have no doubt about the existence of aliens. I think you're seeing the results of poor reporting. Not all who have encounters report them, and not all reports are publicized. The reporter's feelings about the issue may have quite a strong influence upon their articles, or the lack thereof.

LOL. Good observation you got there. Indeed, that's really weird. I think its pure bogus though. Maybe its just the white people who thinks of making up these kinds of stories while black people don't. Whatever it is, I think believing these stuffs are pure waste of time.
I like watching movies about these though.
