They call it "azn pride".

I think the Japanese may have come close to that in World War Two, but that's the closest thing I know of.

EDIT: Ah yes, totally forgot about Azn pride.

I have heard of so called "Black power" and "White power", but I have never heard of "Yellow power" IE Asians. Is there such a thing and I have just not heard of it or is there no such thing. If there is no such thing why not? If there is why have I not heard of it on the news?

Because the various disparate Asian groups
A) Don't look very similar, South Chinese and Vietnamese are more brown than "yellow"
B) Absolutely fucking hate each other

Read up on pre-WWII through by Chinese, Japanese, and Koreans. There's a whole lot (Especially from the Japanese) about how the Yellow Race should challenge the White Race for Asia and (eventually) world dominance.

Because Asians are inherently smarter, and they saw that forming a 'power' group gets you socially ostracized.

From King Ralph?

Anyways, "azn pride" itself is an illusion based generalization of "you azn look alike", for it is fragmented by regional and/or cultural differences within the "azn" community. For example, there's Pinoy Pride, Bumiputera Pride, Ainu Pride, etc etc etc.

If there is no such thing why not? If there is why have I not heard of it on the news? Asians aren't into the racial supremacy thing so much, and instead opt for cultural supremacy. There is 'azn pride' but this is just a pathetic little online youth meme, hardly a endemic cultural phenomenon. Of the asians, Only the chinese, koreans, and japanese really do the racist thing as cultural penchant.

The chinese call their country 'zhongguo', meaning 'middle kingdom'. This goes back to traditional chinese mythology which places china directly below heaven on earth, thus accounting for their relative enlightenment and undisputed superiority. All other peoples are 'barbarians' from the outer realms of the world, and naturally owe china tribute.

The Joker to China's Batman is Japan, who basically grew as a culture in opposition to China (and ironically, ended up almost exactly the same). Korea was the poor son of a bitch stuck between this fued, who after being repeatedly pillaged and raped 'on the way', built a mighty empire and ruled north asia for a few centuries. Because of this history, they are clear to distinguish themselves from Chinese and Japanese, and do this by emphasising on their own cultural superiority.

Further away from north east asia, in the south east, there is less of this kind of thing. This is partly due to the relative underdevelopment of the civilisations based here. However, that being said, todays biggest hothouse of racial supremacy certainly in asia, and perhaps the world, is Malaysia and Indonesia. In a nutshell, around 700 years ago, in this region, there was nothing but grass huts and naked people. Then the chinese, the indians and the persians came. The Chinese were looking for resources to mine, The indians were looking for jobs, and the persians were looking for converts to islam. Both found riches in abundance. Malaysia had two native peoples at this time, the orang asli (kind of like papua new guineans, black with fuzzy hair and neolithic culture), and the malays (yellowish brown people well into the copper age, dominated orang asli).

The orang asli were basically outcompeted and pushed to the highlands. The persians succeeded in converting pretty much the entirety of the malay race to islam, but had no luck with the chinese or indians who had a well developed religion strongly tied with their cultural identity already. Due to events back home, the persians had to leave, leaving just the malays, indians and chinese to sort things out. The way it naturally settled was that the chinese economically dominated having built a thriving mining industry, the indians did ok working mainly for the chinese, and the malays focussed primarily on agriculture with moderate success. Also, being the majority, the malays were still the politically dominant race, with the government being a confederate jumble of malay islamic sultanates.

Then the white man came with colonialism and the boomstick. Malaysia and indonesia were broken up and put back together again a few times, but ultimately ended up as British Malaysia (with portuguese malacca), and Dutch indonesia. Pity for the indonesians. When dealing with these countries, the british favoured the chinese intensely, mainly because they were the wealthiest and most civilised people there, from which they could expect results, standards, and familiarity with the needs of a colonial empire. They were also more comfortable and familiar with chinese culture, and the chinese money-ethic stood out in usefulness. So for a couple of hundred years, the British ruled the country, often through the influential chinese (who made much money from this relationship).

Then, when colonialism broke up, indonesia was left a battered and raped maiden (the dutch were terrible masters, who destroyed all their infrastructure on the way out in spite). Malaysia was left with a pleasant handover of a thriving economy. Naturally the chinese still dominated the economy, as they always have, but also due to their favoured status by the british they got an even better head start. The Malays didn't like that their country (they are 60% of the population) was dominated by the chinese economically. So they did the only rational thing, rioted, effectively overthrew the government (or rather, got it to bend), and legislated persecution of the wicked and successful chinese into the constitution. For 50 odd years now, the Malays have been persecuting the chinese, classing them as second-class citizens, taxing the shit out of them, denying them essential government servi ces, and elseways being racist dicks. Meanwhile, under the doctrine of 'bumiputra' ('sons of the earth', an official constitutional article declaring and safeguarding malay supremacy) They direct obscene public funds to the malay race, affording them a life of luxury as they are put up by chinese industry. Malays get subsidies in every sector imaginable, housing, transport, education, child rearing, you name it. Meanwhile, only malays are allowed to hold key economic and political positions, like import/export licenses (meaning chinese must sell shit to malays, then buy it back off them, just to get it into the country), development licences (meaning if the government needs to build a bridge, they give the contract to a malay development firm, who then simply passes it down to an unregistered chinese construction firm- skimming of course). The government is arranged in such a way that the racial malay party UMNO must always be in power, with lesser chinese and indian racial parties to represent their people to the ruling malay party. When you vote, you swap the seats around in government, but you cannot swap the ruling party. Universities and companies are faced with prosecutable quotas of malays they must enrol, pass, and employ regardless of performance.

The malay race is unique in the world as being a useless welfare race that actually forms a majority in it's homecountry. What is the real hoot, is that the malay majority, which maintains a stranglehold on everything, still market themselves as victims to chinese exploitation. The persecuted chinese minority forms 30% of the population, the malays 60%, and the indians 10%. The chinese, despite all of this, still does well, running perhaps 80% of the economy, with the other 20% being indian (The malays do nothing, or take pointless public sector jobs aimed at increasing malay employment rates). It is this fact, perhaps, which leads the whole obscentiy of this racial/religious supremecist state to be largely overlooked. That is, it's victims do ok for themselves despite being denied a plethora of rights. Only the indians are really in a difficult place, because they neither have the wealth of the chinese, or the government support and numbers of the malays. Indded, though, many chinese would keep this status quo if given the choice, because despite all of the shit they get, they still sit clearly on top of the junk heap (albeit lacking a few rights).

Indonesia was worse for the chinese, where they were stripped of their national identity, forced to take indonesian names, banned from speaking or teaching any dialect of the chinese language, and systematically oppressed. Singapore is a little country whch broke off from malaysia, which acted as a place for chinese to go if they didn't like the idea of living underneath an islamic racist state. Many indonesian and malaysian chinese moved there, forming an 80% chinese majority on this little island. Despite lacking the resources and manpower of it's maly and indon neighbours, this city state is a reknowned economic capital of the world.

This two statements are connected, the generalization of the Chinese community as a closed off colony of China due to their unwillingness (this is also a generalization) to integrate to their current society and economic successes (which in part were also because the Dutch needed middlemen in their dealings with the local kings) made them targets for racial hatred and prejudice. Though this generalization comes from the actions of certain powerful individual members of the Chinese society, their whole society (as in any case of racist statements) is branded to be like that.

The forcing of the "native" name began in the New Order regime, which some theorizes as Suharto's way to control the more economically well-off Chinese community in Indonesia through fear and placate the pribumi's needs of racial supremacy.

The history of Asia prevents a unified "continental" outlook at this time, even among Asians not living in Asia.

It would be like telling Europe and Europeans to just "get along together" in 1913.

It seems you are a Malays, eh? Of course, I came from the Malayu race too, but...

The Chinise still have an economic powerhouse here! (In Indonesia) That's why they are : 1. Slaughtered when the new Order slaughter the Commies,
2. Once again 'genocide'-ed when the transtisional time from the New order to the reformation
3. Still persecuted until now...

Yeah, but this is because Economics! Not because our ideology. So the term is we aren't racist, but fundementals mental-rioted violence-addicted horde of people which is angry to the Chinise and attack them...
