I read that Matsuyama could become sports' first billionaire, due to the endorsements that now will come raining down on him in golf crazy Japan. I also read that Tiger's net worth is in the neighborhood of $800 million, so Matsuyama could be even richer than Tiger. Wow.

I believe that like a lot of other issues, Asian haters are few and far between in the United States. What we have these days is politicians and media making big deals out of little things. By that I don't mean that hating a person because of their race is a little thing. I simply mean that there is not as much of it as many politicians and media people would like us to believe.

In these days of the internet and 24 hour news, everything is blown out of proportion. I actually had an old friend of my say that he believes that there is more racism today than there was in the 1960s. That is a great example of the brainwashing done by the media.

In actuality, there is far less racism in this country now than there has ever been. It's just that we are constantly being made aware of every incident that occurs.

I very much agree with your post, below;
