As for the 'flat feet' comment, do you dispute that having flat feet used to keep you out of the army? (I don't care whether it kept you out or not...)
I don't understand how you're arguing... We're making generalizations here.. not everything is directed at you specifically.. You've already mentioned that you're a rarity in your race..
Kaori,

Let me explain to you why generalizations are racists.

You just pigeon holed the whole entire asian race.

I expect those words to come out some KKK fuck out of alabama.

The other personal point you are missing is that, yes, I am not your average filipino, yet you just made a sweeping generalazation that all asians are what you say.

I am not a rarity of my race. I have Korean and Chinese friends all over 6 foot. Again, I don't take well to generalizations as they come off as very racially charged.

I grew up in the United States, as the only Asian/Pacific Islander in Philadelphia, Pa. I have lived all my life being asked if I'm Chinese or Japanese because idiots think all or anyone asian is one or the other.

I don't see much difference from that and what you posted about flat feet, not being allowed into the military, having flat asses, etc.
