[cuddlysheep]

yeah thats true, dont know why. but, also ton more doing real estate.

i only got one fil friend whose in the field. working at merrill lynch.

My mother is a nurse.

Honestly, aside from medicine where are there Filipinos?

I haven't met once a Filipino in banking.

Not once.

Most go into import export I suppose.

But they usually have Chinese blood in them (at least my cousins do).

I've got two:

1.do asians love anime as much as nerdy white dudes love anime?

2.do asians go to non asian restaurants and eat with forks to feel "more at one with the culture"??

1. some asians love anime with much more intensity than your average white nerd. difference is that if you jap, you kinda got a birthrite.

2. no, most do it cause it's the right thing to do. has got nothing or little to do with feeling "more at one with the culture." i'd say that most 1st world asians know more about nonasian cuisine/culture than nonasians know about asian cuisine/culture.

[ProfMonnitoff]

asians go to non asian restaurants and eat with forks because non asian food usually isnt very chopstick friendly

[Guest jmatsu]

basically true, but shit like pasta is very chopstick friendly. pasta/noodles is actually the invention of the chinaman though.

You know you are LAOTIAN/THAI/CAMBODIAN/VIETNAMESE/FILIPINO if

1) You are darker than mongols, poorer than mexicans, or have elephants/a lot of trannies in your country.

there are very few vietnamese that are "darker than mongols".

[Guest jmatsu]

there are very few vietnamese that are "darker than mongols".

so if i see what i think is a pale skin mongol, he is most likely viet?

[poly800rock]

so if i see what i think is a pale skin mongol, he is most likely viet?

the real question is how many mongols have you met in your life?

[Guest jmatsu]

the real question is how many mongols have you met in your life?

all 4 of them had a club at my university. i also subscribe to national geographic.

Asian Hierarchy (But obviously every race feels they are superior, but in my experience)

Japanese/Korean

Taiwanese

Cantonese

Mainland Chinese

Thai

Filipinos

Vietnamese

Lao/Cambodian/Burma

Not included: Indians (not really East-Asian but who gives a fuck when we R.U.N. America, bitches)

This list also roughly represents white envy, in pretty much the same order. Korean girls who go 10 years being named 'Youngmi' or something like that, and then decide they want to be 'Courtney Kim' or 'Chelsea Kim' overnight, and actually make it happen, blah blah blah.

I'd put Japs on top of the Koreans, because they have at least 1 or 2 more generations of American in them, and they have branched out into more esoteric professions, and get along well with white people. For example, the Asian guy with the full beard, working at a beer microbrewery, wearing a flannel shirt, overalls, driving the green Chevy Blazer, he is Kurt Tanaka, level threat to whitey: 2/10. Koreans haven't reached that level of white-friendly yet. Korean American female threat level to whitey: ranges from 0-10. Korean American male threat level to whitey: from 5-10/10

There were no Korean bassists in early 90's alternative rock bands from Canada, there were no Korean James Ihas, no Korean Kazuo Ishiguros, no Korean Francis Fukuyamas, no Korean Mr. Miyagis, etc.

The Mainland/Thai/Flip sequence is kinda questionable as well, Mainlanders run the gamut from steezy to weezy and, I've not met more than 3 Thai people in America in my life. I've met some Mainlanders who'd I slot under Filipinos, met Filipinos who I mistook for Puerto Ricans, etc etc.

Taiwanese people are America-friendly, they got everything Koreans don't have on lock, and they're like the ambassadors of Asian-America, all up on Korean-Americans one day, maybe upping Japanese culture the next, some days tying in with some Chinee shit, and Taiwanese fob girls are HK girls from 10 years ago, so you get the ones with crazy dyed hair, a made-up japanese name, some nail art, some Dior monogram and Dior jewelry, etc, usually attached to a Japanese guy or a white anime nerd.. It's very vacation-y feeling, like we've been down this road before many years ago. Taiwanese-American guys are vying against Korean-American guys to see who can keep up the #1 fade haircut living the longest, trying fuck each others girls, and seeing who has the fastest 350Z or RX8.

Epic post. This post recks of LA asian stereotypes but its so true.

I actually met an Japanese American last night named Tom.

He's looking for a job in Tokyo now.

I think he'll get one since his 名字 is Japanese.

Japanese love that shit.

Not to mention, no Koreans, to my knowledge, have put away 50+ Nathan's hotdogs in 12 minutes... quite a feat.

[Guest the BUTTMAN]

first of all,i have to disclose that i am not a racist.This is just a funny story

I have a friend who lived in between two shops.One was owned by asians,and the other one by an italian family.Anyway,my friend ran out of smokes and said to me ''lets gets some smokes''.as we walked out of his appartment building,i walked towards the italian owned shop,as they were 50 cents cheaper than the asian owned shop

my,friend barked at me and said ''no,let go to the asian shop''

i said to him ''but,they are cheaper at the other shop,plus the owners daughters are honeys''

he said,''thats the fuckin problem.I have to have a fuckin shower,fix my fuckin hair,dress up.I can not go in there looking like this"

i said ''what about the asian shop,arent u embarassed walking in there looking like a homeless fuck,plus their daughters work there too?''

he said 'no,i dont give a shit''

There is not enough cocaine in Japan to support a mass hipster movement. Plus Japs know the place of lame basics, and wear them more sparingly.

But real talk, 'Drug-addled cum dumpster in leggings and tinfoil headband' style is too strong of a departure from the sweet cawaii French vacation look, so no-go on the hipsters.

Japanese people are ranked like #1 amongst all American minorities when it comes to integration, which is basically a list of whitey-friendly attributes (English, do you speak it, motherfucker? etc)... I think Filipinos are somewhere in the middle of that list (because they work in service-related industries), and Koreans are at the complete bottom, probably chillin with the Viets (because they work in service-related industries but don't actually give you service, it's more like a sneer, your merchandise or your food being thrown at you, and then a grunt).

Japanese girls just don't like looking like poor ass bitches from a Vice mag spread. That is all.

The Viet restaurant at my university, fuck, I've easily given them thousands of dollars, from eating there twice a week or more for several years, and I still eat there sometimes, 3 years out of college. I am this restaurant's best customer, there is no doubt in my mind. The same exact woman has been on the register the whole time, and then another woman is on serving. I will order the same exact thing everytime I go in, and the woman goes 'fo sixty nine' and then adjusts her 1980's glasses and squints, and then pops the cash register tray out while tossing me a plastic water cup, every single time, no variation. When the food comes, the other lady pretty much appears out of the mist, and sits down a scalding hot bowl of soup, no words, no smile, and then quickly turns away and returns to the kitchen.

I would even go away for a year at a time, or go away for breaks, and then when I returned, I would kinda hope it would be a 'hello' or some sort of recognition, but no dice. This is my all-time world's favorite restaurant.

You know you are KOREAN if:

3) Your parents think you are stupid even though you graduated summa cum laude from the Ivy they told you to go to.

Not Korean, but I used get that type of stuff from my dad all the time. Studying medicine isn't good enough, I should applied to study medicine at either Cambridge or Oxford. He's mellowed out a lot over the past year, thankfully.

WIll viagra help my greentip grow?

Haha, fuck, as if studying medicine isn't one of the longest and most brutal commitments of academics. I guess i lucked out, my dad keeps telling me that i don't have to be pre-med. But eh, my parents are filipinos and are both doctors. I guess we're just a big fluke.
