(42,330 posts)Once your thread is hidden, you are effectively locked out of any future conversations about the topic. Maybe you should look again and see that it was AsahinaKimi, who was fighting for me. She has been on DU longer than me and is more respected. The thread of the Asian Privilege is still alive and well. There are still fights going on there... and so while you may have got one post locked, its kind of like this whole thread. Two people were locked out of it.. because they said stuff that was over the top and disruptive.
As for Buddhism, while there may be problems in different parts the of the world it has some deeply held beliefs in regard to violence. Those who commit those kinds of violence do not seem to know, or remember the teachings they have learned. I can't say that the other three religions, of Christianity, Islam and Judaism are that much the same. There seem so many in this country who use it as a tool for hate against others. From the murder of Dr. Tiller to the GOD HATES FAGS group. You probably won't find any Buddhists in the Republican party...especially these days.
