Minorities do not like each other at all. All minority groups hate blacks, regardless of what blacks have done for them in the Civil Rights movement.
Its because minorities jump at the chance to be an "honorary white" which means you will be more socially accepted by whites and receive less racism, all you have to do is conform to the standards whites want you to be at, do as they say, and well, hate on blacks just like they do.
One of the most annoying things whites tend to do is try to compare the different histories of minorities in American. Its an honorary white bragging sort of thing.
They use the achievements of other minorities to throw at asians, as if they are the same.
Adrienne Curry in a racist diatribe of a blog post said that the Jewish don't complain about what hitler did, and that no minority groups get Affirmative Action except for blacks.
For starters, in this day and age, Jewish people are considered white, just like with the irish, they assimilated. Secondly, believe me, white women, and every minority group imaginable benefit from AA more than blacks do especially!!!
But either way whites often use the successes of another minority group to rub in the faces of blacks for not being as successful. They do this with no regard to the histories of each minority leading up to the present.
All minority groups have suffered at the hands of white people in America...yet in different ways and to different varying degrees.
You can't truly compare the experiences.
But what also annoys me is when other minority groups rag on other minority groups, mainly blacks.
A middle easterner had a blog post where she was talking about what whites did after Ft. Hood, only to switch to ragging on blacks.
She said stuff like "nigger" isnt okay to say but "sandnigger" is. Personally, how does demonizing and miminalizing another minority group experience going to really help you? It is like how the gays started being racist towards blacks for prop 8. Any kind of alliance you could have formed with othe minorities goes out the door when you start miminalizing their experiences for the sake of just your own.
The sad part is, that is what many whites want. They want those kind of divisions, thats the whole point of the honorary white system. If all minorities would stop fighting over who has it worse and realize that they are all suffering at the hands of the same person, then the problem could be fixed. A united front. But people are too stupid to do that.
Different histories mean different results. To compare different minority groups is comparing apples to oranges. Men to women, dogs to cats.
