Ask an Asian-American anything:

It's Friday and my work is mostly done. Today's age, above is really meaningless since everyone takes a different path in life, but whatever I'm going to roll with it.

Go ahead.

Do you love me long time?

 

[mdram]

does hyphenating things annoy you?

If you're in this forum like me, you're probably an alright guy. I'll love you very rong time.

I presume this is from my title- Asian-American?

You're right. I'm an American, period. I'm proud to be an American with Korean heritage.

And I'm also aware of the fact that skin colors do matter in this country or most countries. I know that being an Asian in America does come with its own unique challenges that are inherently different than, say, 'white' American.

Hahahaha love the how you change the l to an r and not me.

So I'll ask a real question:

Do you think there is an issue with affirmative action in relation to Asians not being accepted into colleges because of 'quotas' ? Or is all of that just bs?

Why do Asians get so triggered when soneone says "oriental"?

(I dont do this since my one GF went apeshit on me years ago.)

 

[uhohs]

depends on the asian.
some see it as derogatory and a leftover from more racistsy times.

All words come with historical context. I guess it's inappropriate due to a social tone. You're free to use 'oriental' to your Asian colleagues or friends. It'll make you look pretty.... dated though. And that's not the Asian guy's fault - your 'white' coworkers probably feel the same.

If you look at even the most 'no holds barred' comics, they understand this. A bad example is that Conan O'Brien did few episodes in Italy. He made fun the Italians in the street by yelling random Italian words at them. Yes this is very rude.

He knows he doesn't do something like that when he did an episode in Korea. He understands the suitable context, and racial tone to not to make fun of Koreans in same manner as he did to folks in Italy.

Unlike most folks in today's political climate, I don't have a conclusive opinion on all topics. I understand the pros and cons of AA.

My initial take is:
1. Colleges should be based on merit-only.
2. I understand these top Ivy League schools' decisions for every acceptance are flawed. I mean we all are, we're human. And of course their admittance process does not have tranparency.
3. It's glaringly true they probably 'nerf' Asian acceptance to make it more racially diverse.
4. Why do Asians have to suffer because of their skin color?

I have not thought about this all the way. Of course you want what's best for you/your group/etc. If Asians are dominating the requirements of college acceptance, why should we suffer for it?

One of the smallest minority group (Asians are ~5% of US population) and getting treated like a majority heh. That's some win right there.

Are you a ninja who knows kung fu?



(Yes, I know. CSB: Someone at Marvel did want to make Shang-Chi into a ninja at one point, until someone else pointed out that (surprise!) China is not Japan.)

When they bring out those charts that show black men have only 0.25 cm longer shlongs than me, i know its bullshit. I have porn, you know.

Question: sex.

Do you think the average korean-american (sample size: your korean friends) would rather pick a korean, any asian, black, latina/mediterranean, or cheerleader-blonde-american as ideal partner?


Its a dumb question but the only other i could come up with was "have you ever eaten dog" so i went with this one.

 

[ponyo]

Have you been to Busan, South Korea? If so, is it worth visiting?

 

[boomerang]

I consider myself a Native American. I was born here and I figure that makes me about as native as one could get.

Are you OK with that?

 

[pauldun170]

I'm 1/4 Asian. Can I join all the Asian-American clubs?

 

[Darwin333]

Why are Asians so good in the classroom but can never seem to drive worth a shit?

 

[Darwin333]

Shrug, you can be like 1/16th American Indian and join their club but maybe the Asian club is more selective?

 

[Thebobo]

Do you practice traditional Korean religions such as Buddhism, Confucianism, Protestantism or Cheondoism?
