Because we're not anarchists.

Merchants in Chinatown on Tuesday were planning for the safety and livelihood of their shops, their employees and their customers, said Oakland Chinatown Chamber board member Carl Chan, who said he worries that the strike is an "opportunity to take over and cause trouble."

"Our message is pretty strong: we will be open for business, and we have to live on. We may support the cause, but we cannot afford to be counterproductive," Chan said. "We hope the Occupy Oakland movement will not become the Destroy Oakland movement."

Why are you looking for specific demographics? I thought this was supposed to be an all inclusive movement?!?

Brings up really good Question. Where do we stand on Asians? Chinese put us in debt. What about Japanese?

Chinese put us in debt. But I was asking about Japanese. Do we have a position on them yet? I'm asking because I don't know.

Um, no. That particular bit of evidence just proves that the Chinese bought our "junk bonds" to help keep us afloat. We should really get around to thanking them for that.

Their currency manipulation is just as bad as the derivatives mess that crashed our system, but that's not even close to what you are presenting here.

Whatever I'm just trying to ask a question. Has there been a OWS position on Japanese yet? This isn't a question about China and I shouldn't have brought it up.

What makes you assume there are no Asians? There are.
