Fair / Foul: Chinese People Want YG to "Remove" 2014 Song About Home Invasion

[leftcoastkev]

( ....and the Peter Lliang hypocrisy......... )

Anyway, this is bullshit and well known about Asian immigrants in general.

Many times you read a newspaper article about Asian people getting robbed and burglarized the writers detail that the Asians are frequently targeted because they distrust banks and are known to keep large amounts of cash at home.

Because of a traditional belief that bad luck happens to those who do not plan ahead, Asian street gangs often conduct surveillance of home invasion targets, police say. Street gang members will befriend the son or daughter of a well-to-do shop owner for information about when parents bring home cash from the store. Or, older Wah Ching members provide home addresses for a fee, typically around $5,000.

The family is then observed for hours to determine their habits and schedules. To gain entrance to the family's home, sometimes girls are sent to the door on the pretext of returning a video borrowed from someone inside. Once the door is opened, gun-wielding robbers rush in. Because some Asian immigrants distrust banks and keep cash at home, a home invasion can yield tens of thousands of dollars.

^ This is a blue print right here**. Was there a protest of the newspaper?

If I make the above rhyme and put it to a beat, does it then deserve a protest?

Asian immigrants are especially vulnerable to such crimes because many distrust banks and tend to keep valuables at home. They also share a reluctance to confide in police, an attitude often reinforced by the Western system of letting suspects out on bail.

**Even though we're talking Chinese specifically and not Korean, even the show The Shield had an episode where the above played out..episode was called "Carnivores". There was no backlash or protest of the show that I'm aware of.

Foul

Im from San Francisco which has a large Chinese (and Asian in general) population

And since the 80s there has been a bad home invasion problem in the Chinese community

But the perpetrators have largely been other Chinese and Asian folks, mostly because there is a baseline level of trust amongst members of that community that is exploited by criminals. Folks need to speak on that reality before addressing someone from another community making a piece of artistic expression

So basically "what about Chinese on Chinese burglaries"?

Critics say way too many Asian families have already been robbed and burglarized. They feel the song provides a step-by-step blueprint and encourages even more criminals to target Chinese families.

Without addressing the context of the issue, it could lead folks to believe rap music is responsible for these types of crimes
