Actually, I am sure that more people think asians are superior to caucasians. Look how far the economies of Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and South Korea came in such a short time. Look how well people of asian decent do at American schools. There have even been complaints of certain US universities discriminating against asians because they do so well! I really do not know where you get the idea that whites think they are superior to asians. It certainly is not the case that whites are superior to asians. As more asian countries adopt the principals of freedom and democracy as have all the hyper successful previously mentioned countries, all of asia will become just as prosperous. The countries of asia that are backward are only so because thugs or political parties of thugs are in charge. Such people have no idea how to promote progress. They only know how to preserve their power. As all asian countries obtain freedom and democracy the world will finally begin to see what asians can do. Is the white race superior to the asian race? NO!

I just want to point out that this man is most likely not white. On his profile it says he is 47 from India. So he probably does not have this belief (or is actually promoting it) but is asking it because of something he heard/saw.

We are all equal. However, there is a new trend going around where asian people say they are the superior race. There is a term for it but I can not remember it right now.

Perhaps philosophically we are equals, but even in terms of biology there is a superior race. For example, Caucasians have the highest sensitivity to insulin. Some groups of Caucasians have 4 times as much insulin sensitivity as Pima Indians. So Caucasians can utilize insulin in the body better, so what? If success in life was contingent on how well a person breaks down glucose, then Caucasians would win hands down. But what if life was about how strong you were. There are races of people that have better abilities than other groups. Ever hear of the term, “white man can’t jump”. Well its because in a sport where fast twitch fibers in the calf muscles are necessary for explosive movements that allow slam dunks only certain races of people are statistically known to have that feature. True, there are statistical anomalies, but in general, different abilities are focused to different groups of people. What is more important is how you define “superior”. What is superiority meant ones ability to produce melatonin in response to the intensity of sun rays. In that case, white would loose, and most dark, colored people would win. People are too vague when they say “superior”. But they are even more vague when they say we are all equal. These are two things that are very much open to interpretation.

I don't think that you can make a statement like this and not expect someone to get angry. I would be very interested to know what makes you believe that the White race thinks it is superior to the Asian race? Please answer that question!!!!! Your statement is fueling hate, and that's wrong. We should do everything that we can to eliminate prejudice and discrimination in our society. We are all human beings, and we are all created equal. We live in different parts of the world, have different religions, cultures, education levels, skin colors and life experiences. But we are still equal. Let's try promoting that instead of racism.

I am sorry.My intention is defenitely not to promote any kind of hatred.Many people from India say that there is an invisible glass ceiling in western countries stopping the asians at certain level of height.I know times are changing and people have become equal with their skills only.But I just am curious if anything of this sort still exist.No harm meant.I am a good man.
