now now. “stupid” is a polysyllabic word. We should give her some more credit for her mastery of the language.

Sean, you are not from around here. So, naturally, you see two people arguing and assume it has nothing to do with race. Many of his here know first-hand that their is animousity between Blacks and Asians. We simply do not believe the instigator would have behaved the same way if another Black lady sat down next to her. That said, racial or not racial, the instigator was a bully intimidating an old woman whom one would not expect to punch back.

I agree with Tom, though I do give anh’s sister some credit for taking any action (when most people just sit and look away). But, yes, the real hero is the woman who didn’t take crap from the “aggressor, a bully and a racist.” Her self-respect and pride caught all of us off guard. Bravo!

Here is a rough transcript of the video: http://yingma.org/2010/01/03/chinese-woman-beats-black-lady-on-sf-muni/. For everyone who does not understand Chinese, this provides a full English translation of the Chinese spoken in the video.

Jon, the point you make here is right. This whole thing happened so fast, we admins weren’t able to catch everything. And I for one didn’t do a good job of going back over the comments. At this point, I will merely comment them out, not delete anything. But your point tells me this is something I need to do. Thanks for commenting!

“Plus why so much heat on the chinese woman? The black woman threw the first punch; she deserved to be wailed on. This is the first time I’ve seen the public defend the starter of the fight.”

Where do you see the black women being defended?! And what heat on the chinese women!? The black lady is wrong for punching the women surely. But what you fail to read is she gave up the seat. It is after the fact the altercation took place.

I think posting this video is important and a step towards ridding aggressive people off of our buses. Being a person of color I found offense to this also. We have no clue how long this went on and what was done before this was recorded.

Its one thing to point out that someone is wrong but the comment by Folkwolf101
“She should be arrested. Moreover, this is in Chinatown. This is a bus crammed with Chinese. AA woman was completely out of her element when demanding that she gets to have so much space around her when no one else was getting that. Hey lady, if you don’t like the heat of a crowded Chinatown rushhour bus, get and walk.”

Last time a checked this is America not just “Chinatown.” And where was the ADMIN moderation then? If something like this is happening its everyone’s responsibility to stop it!!! Its clear to me there is racial tension against blacks, fine but keep it neutral.
