I don't know if this rumor is true or not that Mariah Carey made racist
comments
toward Asians. If this is true, I want Mariah Carey to apolgize to all
Asians.
I always like Mariah Carey and her music. But, so far she got too carried
away.
Last year, she been making racist comments about African Americans.
Now, she wants to make racist comments about Asians because her friend
got rape by two Vietnamese people. I want your comments please
and please email me about your opinion.
Here is a newsgroup message from the Mariah Carey newsgroup that Mariah
made racist comments toward Asians.

(I am sorry if any of you have already seen a similar post from me.
Htran03 wrote about this rumor in several NGs, and I'm replying in all of
them.)
Mariah Carey did not say this stuff. This rumor is at least a few weeks
old, yet no one, in a world with nearly six million people, knows about
this rumor except for this Jonathon person and the people he's posted to.
That sounds strange to me.
Mariah Carey is attacked whenever a rumor appears. Check this URL:
http://www.mrshowbiz.com/scoop/archive/8_29_96.html for one example. If
a quote she never even said (as shown in that URL) gets worldwide
publicity, don't you think her supposedly making racist comments would
have been international news?
Don't believe it.

How true is this article? I think that when someone post something as
serious as this, they should also include a valid source of the
information. If this is true, I'd like to add something to it. You said
Vietnamese people don't represent all Asian people. I think that the two
Vietnamese people don't represent all Vietnamese people. Only stupid
people make that kind of generalization.

Certainly, the fact that Mariah Carey's friend was raped(by two
Vietnamese men) is horrific and they should be punished. But I don't
think anybody in their right mind would agree that just because these
two men raped her friend all Asians should be condemned. If it was
blacks or whites who raped her friend I doubt she would have come out
and said that. I just can't picture it. Imagine the response from
whites or blacks if she said such a thing. Or if an famous Asian
woman's friend was raped by a white man, and said 'Fuck white people'.

Pardon my ignorance, but isn't Mariah Carey Black?

Mariah carey is pretty silly - isn't she? She may have a great voice
but she seems to have problems...she said something to the degree of:
I would like to be skinny like the kids in Africa, but without the flies and
stuff...
-- Duh!

As for this rumor, that's all it is: a rumor. If a quote she never even
said (see the above) gets worldwide coverage, don't you think a racist
quote would've hit the news by now? Yet only the one person who posted
that bull to the Mariah Carey NG (under a false name, as well) knows
anything about this. One person, in a world with a population nearing
six million.
This rumor is not to be believed.

Mariah has never said ish like that, after divorcing Tommy he really tried hard to tarnish her career. We are in 2024 and she's doing great.
