Thank you for reading my book, but I did not mention Prop 13 anywhere.

Best regards,

I read your Chinese Girl memoir and I have been wondering the best way to share my thoughts. I have much to say but I think I will start with a question and see what happens.

You mention it in your book but you did not elaborate on why you were against Prop 13.

What “structural forces that have perpetuated these attacks” do you mean? I can see only one: black culture.

My favorite one was about a teacher who came to a small town and fell in love with a girl. I cried at the end because the teacher had died and everyone was grieving the loss of someone whom they had loved and respected so much. This was not a recent movie, but more of a classic. Nevertheless, it showed some of the modernization of China in the cities with the older traditions and way of life in the rural areas.

My own wife is from Japan and so I guess I have an appreciation of Asian cultures and people. I was struck there in Japan how the modern Japan could exist side by side, sometimes, next to humble people toiling in the rice paddies. America is such a relatively young country, but I get the sense that it has been strongly influencing and exporting it’s own culture to the world. In Japan, I would see commercials on the television with a few words of English and Japanese singers doing their best imitation of American pop singers. It seemed so beautiful to me, maybe because I believe that America represents how all of the cultures can come together and blend together as one.

I long for the day when there will be no longer racism nor any other barriers that divide us as brothers and sisters under one God, our Heavenly Parent. Please tell me if you will ever speak in Minnesota.

Thank you for all that you are doing. Perhaps, now, I better buy your book!

Sincerely,

Bruce Johnson

]]> Comment on Top California Radio Show Interviews Ying Ma Again–For a Full Hour by Bill http://yingma.org/2011/09/14/the-armstrong-and-getty-show-interviews-ying-ma-again-for-a-full-hour/#comment-413 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 23:03:08 +0000 http://yingma.org/?p=737#comment-413 Just listened to the podcast of Ms. Ma’s interview. It was great. I have no doubt that America will remain on top as long as people like Ms. Ma and her family come to America to work and to take advantage of the educational opportunities that are offered here. I would rather give my tax money to immigrant families like hers to make their transition easier, rather than to the low-life, welfare-dependent ghetto trash that populates cities like Oakland.
