Interviewing ignorant ass people who are "upset" enough to show up and demonstrate their anger, hen painting that as the prevailing opinion of everyone is no better than saying all white people hated black people during the Civil Rights movement.
I'm from Hawaii where minorities are the majority, so I have a unique view (not saying its conclusive or the best, just perhaps somewhat objective, as much as an inherently subjective human can be?) on what I saw when I lived on the mainland for 10 years. I'm not saying that most white people are racist, but there is a prevailing trend on the mainland where tons of people seem to be really interested in pursuing their own views and culture and their most curious pursuits into the foreign end up in food or in exotic practices that get overhyped and over marketed and ultimately vapid and considerably less authentic, like how Yoga and Zen Buddhism ended up (not saying those suck, by the way, Yoga rocks!).
Not that this issue revolves specifically around religion, but it just baffles my mind because I grew up with Christian Churches, Buddhist Temples, some Shinto Shrines, Mormon Temples, and other religions (once a Sikh temple even) and the general trend on the mainland seems to be severe lack of adoption of other cultures.
In Hawaii here its not unusual one bit to see what appear as caucasians with Asian last names, caucasian females marrying into a Hawaiian or Asian family, or other non-Abrahamic religions being adopted as practice religions to enjoy tradition. (Even Native Hawaiian rituals) It seems like this would never happen regularly on the mainland.
Its just weird to me because everyone is Irish on St. Patricks day, yet everybody becoming black or asian, seems very much far off.
I'm not saying anyone particularly is WRONG for letting this happen, its just odd how cultural adoption seems so inherently mono-directional. I always loved multiculturalism and I know many on the mainland also do, but its strange how the path of evolution always leads in this inherently culture-neutral, somewhat pan-Americanism which would only play into a certain sub-sectors traditional practices.
Anyway, this isn't a complaint, its more of an observation.
