Let me make this a bit more PC. To be fair, I have observed slobs of all races, colors and creeds along the RI shore in the more than 20 years I have been fishing it. I simply made my remarks based on the fact that I have observed the amount of litter increasing as the number of Asians fishing has increased. To support this, I have also personally observed many instances of Asians making a mess while fishing. My statements on Asian culture not valuing nature enough to respect it and the laws which protect it was based on several observations I have made over the years. Asian cultures have disregarded international bans on whaling. Asian cultures support the killing of endangered tigers for medicinal purposes. Asian cultures support the killing of bears around the world for medicinal purposes. Asian cultures support the killing of rhinos for medicinal purposes. Asian fishermen travel the world in search of seafood that is no longer available near their shores due to over fishing. Perhaps I let these behaviors lead me to think Asians don’t respect the natural environment. Perhaps I am misinformed and should not speak stereotypically. Perhaps we should all speak to all of the slobs we see trashing our fishing areas before it is too late.
