San Francisco mayor candidate: it's Asians fault for provoking Blacks to attack
Politically involved San Franciscans received an introduction to one Harold Miller last week, when the heretofore unknown mayoral candidate sent out a mass e-mail illuminating how he'd run our fair city.

When the unemployed cabbie and president of the Sunnydale Tenants Association rails against the "crazy laws the Board of Supervisors put on the books" or admits he wants "anyone in LOVE to marry," it's hard to imagine many registered San Francisco voters disagreeing with him. That's not the case when he trots out his novel approach to combating black-on-Asian violence.

"I have been trying to set-up a meeting with Ms Rose Pak of the Asian community to teach her people to look Blacks in the eye as a sign of respect, which is all the young kids who are doing these attacks say they want," he wrote.
Appeasement: has it ever not worked?
Faulting the Asian Muni passengers beaten and killed along the Third Street corridor for their own misfortunes is an unusual thing to do -- even if you aren't running for elected office. Miller tells SF Weekly, however, that he's not excusing this behavior. "It's one of the reasons that black people are so angry at the Chinese. They disrespect them by looking at their feet or away from them," he says. "You're talking about young guys and their attitude. ... If you disrespect them, they're going to mug you. Just ignore them and get the hell out of there. They are looking for trouble." For some reason, he notes, Chinatown power broker Pak hasn't returned his messages.
Funny, I thought if you looked a thug in the eye, he took it as a challenge.
Differing cultural behaviours have always caused problems, even among those at a higher level of civilization. The Asian kids do need to adopt the body language of America if they don't want to attract bullying by what is seen here as submissive behaviour, but is seen in Asian culture as politeness. It also wouldn't hurt if the Asian kids learnt a martial art like we see in the Kung Fu movies -- there is a subconscious expectation of that kind of fearsomeness. At the same time, it would be helpful if the authorities beat the Black kids bloody every time they laid a finger on an Asian kid.
