Asian is not a race. Nobody is for the supremacy of a whole continent. You meant chauvinism or something similar. Never hurts to admit when you misuse words.

Asian is very much a race. Race is simply a delineation between distinct differences within the same species, and humankind is a species. It's why you've got people saying "white race" "black race" so on and so forth; it's because that's literally what they are. Then you've got even further distinctions like features specific to different regions, and you can go very deep into the rabbit hole of exactly what kind of race a person is.

Violence is indeed a way to make someone stop. That's why military budgets are always some of the highest ones. That's why punching the bully in the teeth does more to stop the bullying than asking the teachers for help again and again. The fear of retaliation is part of what keeps a society civil.

As for using running as a punishment, you are not teaching physical exercise as a habit, you are associating it to negative emotions. Good way to make your kid hate exercise.

Bullying is stopped by one of three ways:
either complete separation like moving away, since it's essentially a case of in-group vs. out-group;
or find a way to make yourself become somebody that the in-group wants to invite;
or to aggressively make the in-group submit, via aggressive primal behavior.
It's why you see counselling as being so ineffective and seem like organizations hold themselves back, because they aren't allowed to tell bullied children to "move away", or to "change themselves to fit in with others", or to "beat up the pack leader".

So the only way left they're able to standardize some form of making it seem like they're doing something to prevent it, is to treat it like group therapy; because it's the closest they can get while keeping it socially acceptable.

As for that example of using running as a punishment , and how it would get associated with negative emotions, that's indeed partly true.
But you see, the funny thing about the way the body works, is that the body doesn't like changes in habits. It will adapt eventually, but it doesn't like changes in habits. Any person that works out regularly will tell you that they feel bad when they can't do their running, jogging, whatever, or to lift weights, or to play sports, so on and so forth.
It's because the hormones, energy, muscles, the brain chemicals, all of it gets accustomed to physical exercise. Cognitive behavioral therapy has also definitively shown that neural pathways are created to make the brain accustomed to physical exercise, when you do it long enough.

So you can say that they associate it with negative emotions, which would be true; but the body itself would still learn that habit on a physiological level, and they would also inevitably form happy memories while running around with friends or playing sports or whatever as well. So the punishment of it wouldn't necessarily overwhelm the positive emotions associated with it, while the body itself would continue to grow more and more accustomed to keep doing it.

As for your example about militaries and how they're used as a deterrent, it's partly true and it partly isn't. It's just an adaption of tribal insticts, sometimes referred to tribal psychology (albeit often erroneously).
Because the human mind on a subconscious level isn't able to fully comprehend the scale of societies as large as they are today. In our minds, we are still "built" for living in very small communities like a small village.
But our conscious minds are constantly trying to adapt to scales you see today, and that scale continues to grow more and more. So there's a disconnect there, where you get a clash of "our village" that's trying to protect the village-sized "community" that their brain can still properly comprehend, against those that would try to harm that mind's very limited perception of "community".

Militaries on the other hand, are on a scale far beyond that, but the people leading those militaries are still bound by those same limitations. But there's a need for conquest in the minds of humans as well, because greed is both a survival instinct as well as a physiological design in that we seek out that which makes the brain feel good.
So militaries, while the promoted image of them is for protection, they're also for the sake of conquests.
Don't get me wrong though, they're absolutely a social imperative. But the mechanisms behind why people need them, is on a primal level.
So if you want to use militaries as an example for your argument, well, you're also just showing your own limitation. The formation of individuals capable of deep thoughts and critical thinking, is way more complex; and it's what the civilian side of the world needs right now. Or are you saying the world would be better off with primal tribalist thinking ruling civilians in all levels of society? To regress instead of evolve?

You'd be right that we're better off regressing if it would shape much smaller societies and much smaller scales of communities, at least on a psychological level. But quality of life would fall of a steep cliff if that would happen.

American terms for races "white", "black", "asian (formerly oriental)" are very much social constructs that don't reflect much biological reality but rather social standing. They are also approximative. There are more distinct biological differences between someone who lives in the sahara desert and someone who lives near south africa than between an french and an italian. Yet they will both fall under "black race" if their skin color happens to be dark because in the end they would have the same social standing in the US.

Same issue for "Asian". Asia is a continent. A huge one. Arabs are from Asia, the Japanese are from Asia. They are clearly different "subcategories". You can accept that there are subcategories among humans and realize the repeated incompetence if not malevolence of the american people when it comes to deal with these categories.

You are not creating the habit of running if you only punish people with running. You are creating the habit of feeling bad when one is running. If you want your neural pathways to be created in a sustainable manner you reward with running, or you go endocannabinoid and you make it a simple habit with no punishment or reward associated.

So you can say that they associate it with negative emotions, which would be true; but the body itself would still learn that habit on a physiological level, and they would also inevitably form happy memories while running around with friends or playing sports or whatever as well.

I am not saying the world would be better off one way or another. I'm saying that it's delusional to believe that our brains don't operate in a way that makes the threat of violence a powerful deterrent.
