For a minority group, Asian-Americans can be surprisingly racist.

Especially against each other. Nothing like telling your Korean friend how much you enjoy visiting Japan and watching Miyazaki and Juzo Itami's movies to stir up some good old-fashioned hatred. "They raped my grandmother. They're not human. They don't have souls." And then you have to pretend to like Oldboy to calm them down.

Against themselves too. My friend started a FaceBook group called "Ambivalent Asians - for all the self-hating Orientals out there". (He is half-Chinese and half-Japanese, so perhaps he just got both heapings of racism mixed up in the same person...)
