Asians don't "get" philosophy?
Why are philosophy departments at school devoid of anything but White people and a few latinos? I think asians are still tripping out about the Matrix, philosophy might blow their minds.

Chow Mein? Really, almost expected you to add Chinese Laundries to that list :-)
Oh, funny story about chinese food. Having grown up you know where, I used to love the chinese food I ate there. That is until I had the opportunity to eat REAL chinese food. Then when I returned to those places I used to love, I was amazed how crappy and dry the food was.

All really stupid. Have you ever READ anythign these "philosophers" wrote? Eastern philosophy couldn't be more dumb. It is not the glass, but the emptiness within the glass! Shut up. Confucius says "man who go to bed with itchy butt wakes with stinky finger". Dumb!
Ever heard of the thousands of white GENIUS philosophers? Of course you have, everyone has, I would start listing them but I don't have the time, just look on wikipedia for a list of philosophers.

LOL, those who do not understand have to denigrate.
Actually, eastern philosophy makes much western philosophy irrelevant. Which is why people like Schopenhauer and later philosophers benefited so much from 3,000 year old Hindu philosophy.
What were you saying about "knowing when you are ignorant". Here is a list of "asian" philosophers.

reading that lists sounds like someone through a bunch of pots and pans down a stair case. Ping Ching Bang Bong.
I've studied, extensively, many eastern philosophers. Aside from some brilliant ideas by Sun Tzu, the entire list is mostly shit piled on shit. Taoism couldn't be more laughable. Chi? Tao? Yin and Yang? These concepts are dumber than schopenhauer's understanding of the will-to-life.
