Recognition of cultural mores is not racist. Especially when they are backed up by facts. Like, oh, say, this one:

http://www.asian-nation.org/gambling.shtml

"Nobody really knows how deeply problem gambling reaches into Asian communities because Asians have not been broken out as a group in national or California studies on the issue. But a 1999 poll in San Francisco's Chinatown, commissioned by a social services agency, found that 70% of 1,808 respondents ranked gambling as their community's No. 1 problem.

In a follow-up poll, 21% of respondents considered themselves pathological gamblers and 16% more called themselves problem gamblers -- rates significantly higher than in the overall population. Current data suggest that 1.6% of Americans can be classified as pathological gamblers, a condition recognized as a psychiatric disorder. About 3% more are considered problem gamblers."

I recommend reading the whole article btw, it goes more into depth.

If I offended you (or anyone else), I am not sorry, although I do feel bad that there are people like yourself that are so thin-skinned and politically correct that you need to make a statement like that. (A very persuasive argument you have, btw, like all of the evidence you are giving to support your position, and the proper grammar and capitalization with perfect sentence structure).

Last time I check, San Francisco is thousands miles aways from mainland China. In case you didn't know, Chinese and Vietnamese are different. Just face the fact, you're racist.

LOL if you had read the article, you would have seen that the part about "vietnamese women" is a picture caption of them pulling slots at a casino. That's neither here nor there though. Cultural mores, especially with tight-knit communities that move to the US like the Chinese, maintain a lot of their social pros and cons when they move. If they didn't, we wouldn't have things like "Chinese food" or "sushi" and we certainly wouldn't have any "Chinatowns" in this country.

I would find a study from China if I could but since there seems to be a black hole of information from the Motherland I can't, but I can go by what I do find.

If I said Indians were the worst drunks on the planet would I be wrong if I brought you a study that showed that native americans have the highest rates of alcoholism and diabetes in the US?

Stop being such a sensitive ninny. Yeesh. Why don't you just go have dinner with tipper gore and censor every comedy show on cable while you are at it.

Of course you can't find any study on mainland China, because there is none. You can't be serious when you compare Chinese food with gambling. Chinese immigrants gamble because usually they are here to work and support their families back home. They do not speak English, after working 80 hours a week, the only entertainment they have is going to horse track or casino's once in a while.

Mr. PC, I dare you to find one fact. One article. One link. Something. To back up your point. Personal attacks against me do not prove my point wrong, they just prove that you have no information and have to resort to name-calling to - do what exactly? Out yourself as an emotional politically correct thin-skinned person?
Incidentally there are plenty of things that do not require gambling for entertainment. (Video games, puzzles, sudoku, in california there are a ton of places a non-english speaker can go for fun, like karaoke? The list goes on and on.)
So please, keep being defensive and calling me names, you'll be continuing to dig bigger holes and prove my point even more.

DemanDoug's post was not racist... he is pointing out that a culture has a propensity to gamble... that is not racist. Do native americans on reservations have a propensity to drink alcohol? Well, the politically correct answer would be no, but obviously anyone who has been to one realizes that there is a severe problem. Meth is also growing ubiquitous. However, according to you politically correct garbage, those types of facts should not be acknowledged because it might offend someone. Unless we recognize a large scale problem we will never be able to solve it (or profit from it).

Generalizations are NOT bad.. in fact, they are actually quite helpful. Would you say that Americans, by and large, have a problem with fast food? I would. Thats why i've made a lot of money off of McDonald's stock.

Why do you think DemanDoug's rating is so high... maybe its because he is in touch with reality while you continue to live in liberal la-la land hopping and skipping like a 5th grade girl around sugarcandy mountain. Open up your eyes.
