Asian Players

[slim]

I don't know why there is no "reply " button, so I am starting a new post in response to the other guy who posted about LAG Asian players.

Why is everybody soooooooooooo politically correct all the time!!!! I agree with everything the original poster says. I am asian so call me racist against myself. IN GENERAL, asian people love to gamble more compared to other races. I live in Toronto and there are buses that go to Chinese malls and condos to pick up Asian gamblers and takes them to the casino everyday. The buses are packed. Whenever I go to casino, 50% of the people in there playing are Asian but there certainly aren't 50% asian population in Toronto. Why do they have Chinese singers from Hong Kong come to Casino's to perform? When is the last time you saw them import a Russian or East Indian performer to perform at a casino to cater to Russian or Indian clients? Why is there always a Cnhinese Noodle bar at casinos? Do they have buses that pick up Black clients from Black neighborhoods? NO! Why? Because the bus would be empty! I've been to Foxwoods and I remember seeing hords of Asians there and I bet you most don't live in Connecticut. Asians love to gamble!!! What's wrong with saying that??? I don't know the reason, and I don't care, it's the truth. It isn't racist to point out stereotypes. And I know you tree huggers won't like this either....STEREOTYPES are IN GENERAL, TRUE!!!! Why is it wrong to point them out? AS long as you don't hate someone or treat them poorly bc of their culture, it's not racist.

Now back to the original poster observation. I notice the same thing about Vietnamese players.....LAGGY.....does it make me racist for noticing and agreeing with him? NO!Gee let's see off the top of my head, Scotty Nguyen, Tuan Le, John Phan, Meng the Master,David Pham,Mimi Tran .....I would say they're pretty loose-aggressive no? Can you name me the same number of top Vietnamese players who have a rep for being tight and conservative? DO I hate Vietnamese players bc they're Vietnamese?? NO!! If I am new to a table, and I see a Vietnamese player who I never saw before, will I play him differently than an old white guy who I never saw before? YOU BET I would! I guess that's racist too?

ANd you guys will love this one too.....Do I think Asians are better poker players thatn any other race? PRobably! I have no trouble saying that.I remember the ladies WSOP 2004(?) 10 players at final table.....3 or 4 were Asian and guess who were the final 4? If you look at the proportion of Asian players vs any other race who make it to final tables, I wouldn't be at all surprised if Asians have a much higher %. Is the best Asian player in the world better than the best white player? I don't think so but that's debateable. Are Blacks better at Basketball and football than Asians? You're damn right they are. Do they run faster? YES. Are men taller and stronger than women in general? Yes!
Please understand, I am NOT saying ASians are better or smarter or whatever..... I am saying they tend to play a certain style and they tend to do well for whatever reason. I don't care why, I just know it is a true generalisation.

Why is it nobody ever flames somebody for saying an old white guy is a rock but yet it's so worng to say Vietnamese players are Laggy? I just can't stand politcal correctness.....it's NOT REALISTIC.
