Toys “R” Us Reverses Decision On Baby Contest

2007-01-07
By

From the Associated Press:

“After coming under fire for denying a Chinese-American infant a $25,000 prize in a New Year’s baby contest because her mother was not a legal U.S. resident, the Toys “R” Us company said Saturday evening that it had reversed its decision.”

Baby Yuki Lin, winner of the “First Baby of the Year Sweepstakes”, will have money for her college education. Asians place a high premium on education, and chances are that Baby Yuki will grow up to be an upstanding citizen.

I’m glad that Toys “R” Us reversed its racist decision. Yuki was born in the “land of opportunity” and is therefore an American citizen and the legitimate winner of the sweepstakes.

From the Associated Press:

“Toys “R” Us, which opened its first mainland China store less than a month ago, changed its mind after Chinese-American advocates protested and the story was reported in ethnic newspapers and The New York Times among other outlets.”

It’s worth noting that Toys “R” Us managers didn’t reverse their decision because they had an epiphany that racial discrimination is wrong. They relented under protests from Chinese-American activists.

Whenever we see immigrants (documented or undocumented) being discriminated against, we must speak out in protest. We must have zero tolerance for xenophobia and racial discrimination.

I wish Baby Yuki and her parents a happy and prosperous New Year. They didn’t make a mistake coming to this great democracy; America really is the “land of opportunity”.

    reyes – i appreciate the post. but once again, you are talking about the very bottom rung of society, or lower.

    why do you think it important to import poverty in to our country? do you think americans are impressed by or drawn to that?

    get real!

    the link you posted just reinforces what has been stated here. these illegal immigrant people contribute almost nothing, except to their own cultural pockets within a city. they do NOT create jobs or wealth. They do NOT file for patents. They do NOT create corporations.

    furthermore – hispanic culture is NOT a culture of education. this just leads to more poverty and under achievement and more tax burdon to those of us that work.

    would you like me to post some academic performance data by race??

    Hmmm, using your racial feminist logic then; I can go out and bang any and all lesbians that I see. I don’t like nor care for the law (called rape) that says that I cannot so i’ll just ignore it. And my choice of lesbians is because the may still be virgins and I like it better and it’s better than some tatoo’d skank. You know, grass…. greener ‘en all….

    no? What!?? Was that offensive? I am just exercising my right for a better life! You know, I want good clean womenfolks to pass on my genes! And lots of em!

    Mexican immigrants are a great asset to this country:

    “A new study finds that recent Mexican immigrants in Chicago possess a wealth of artistic, cultural, and networking assets and that those assets contribute to the social, cultural and economic well being of many Chicagoland neighborhoods, organizations and institutions.

    In fact, the artistic and cultural activities of Mexican immigrants who arrived in Chicago after 1994 stimulate the local economy, especially in the music industry and service sector.

    So say the authors of the new “Creative Networks: Mexican Immigrant Assets in Chicago” study, which is a joint project of The (Chicago) Field Museum’s Center for Cultural Understanding and Change (CCUC) and the Science of Networks in Communities (SONIC) research group at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

    The Rockefeller Foundation funded the yearlong study through its Creativity and Culture Program. The geographical areas the researchers began with were the West Chicago suburbs, including Aurora; South Chicago; Pilsen and Little Village; the West Corridor; Albany Park; and the North Side. Later, the researchers incorporated comments from Mexican immigrants throughout the city.

    The research team’s findings will be released during an event for the news media at The Field Museum on Nov. 14. A Web site showcasing the research findings will be introduced during the event.

    “Mexican immigrants help to build up the rich, vibrant life and character of our city,” said Alaka Wali, director of the CCUC and one of the study’s primary investigators. “They make significant contributions that lead to growth, both economic and cultural.”

    once again reyes, we want people that contribute.
    and sadly, because the system is slow, the people that can and do contribute are made to wait.

    Pray tell, where is the evidence that Indians and Czechs have had a similar positive impact on our society?

    Good God man. You really should get out more often. The engineers that keep this website up and running, and your blog, are likely Indians…and very very NOT likely mexican.

    High tech is laced with Indians and Czechs and Slovokians and Hungarians.

    Every here of Intel?
    Voted the most important company in the USA since WWII –

    led by a Hungarian refuge (Andy Grove).

    That’s right. The law isn’t the way you want it so just ignore it.

    That type of behavior will turn any country into to the lawless void that is Mexico.

    “Then change the law to allow millions of Mexicans and Latin Americans to immigrate here legally.

    Gonzman responded:

    “Such laws exists. They can. And to those who follow those law, I say “Welcome.” To those who have not – well, prosecution and deportation.”

    This is not true, there are strict quotas in place. Only a few thousand are allowed to immigrate from Mexico to America each year.

    If a Mexican follow the rules and applies for immigration to America, on the average, he would have to wait for well over a decade.

    Congress has refused to raise the meager quota, so of course Mexicans will simply cross the border.

    RPR SAID: And why is it that MND posters only complain about Mexican immigrants?

    (insult directed as RPR deleted, thre is no need for personal insults.) Did you even read the title of your article and the responses of readers to this Asian illegal?

    Fact is you are just trying to slip aside of the obvious fact that you only care about Hispanic immigrants because you are a Hispanic Supremacist.

    The main thing that the Mexicans have contributed to our society is the lowering our wages. This doesn’t help we individuals, but does help corporate america keep their costs down. Hmmm…wonder who supporting the illegal immigration invasion?

    I suggest that we americans pick just one corporation that is using illegal immigrants and everyone boycott their products until they go out of business. One by one, we’ll keep breaking them until they are all gone. What! You say eliminate all of our jobs? Yep, and it would shut down the US government too. But, at least while we’re starving, we won’t be up to our eyeballs in Mexicans and we won’t be paying anymore taxes. Let’s just call it the Sampson Option.

    Mexican culture has enriched American culture. It’s impossible to miss the influence of Mexican culture. Pray tell, where is the evidence that Indians and Czechs have had a similar positive impact on our society?

    What a delightfully broad, unfounded and nebulous claim! It’s also wonderfully racist and hypocritical to boot followed up by a declaration of cultural ignorance.
