Title: How Asian are you?
Post by: Novus on Wed, 18 February 2015, 17:21:51
Whether it's your dorm mates, roommates, your martial arts class or something you enjoy like anime, Kpoop, ramen, other forms of perverse Asian entertainment to more serious things like learning another Asian language.

How Asian do you consider yourself?

I don't like seafood, am over 6ft tall, am bad at math, and don't care for most anime.

I do love video games, meditation, fancy tea, and ramen.

What is that from 1-Sifo?

I am about as lily white as they come, except for being like 1/64th Cherokee, so...

On the other hand, I love sushi, Chinese, Japanese, and Thai food, was into J-Rock for a while, like some anime, used to collect asian ball-jointed dolls, and I taught myself hirigana and katakana one afternoon as a teenager back in the 90s with a basic knowledge of the characters representing syllables, knowledge of everyone's romanized names and attacks, and a few Japanese volumes of the Sailor Moon manga. So, I'm kind of a recovering weeaboo?

But I speak Mandarin, Sichuan dialect more or less fluently, and central Tibetan ok.

Been in love with stuff from KBC for 3-4 years now tho.

Um... well   if anything   white collar crime perpetrated by white-people is far more detrimental to social order/justice  than black people stealing watermelons to "eat"..


because the white collar crime guys didn't eat billions of dollars, they buy things like yachts and girlfriends that they don't even have time to utilize..

I'm an ABC,nyc,  i have an asian name, when i was in my teens i did the thing most asian kids with asian names did and said "call me Charlie". Then i found out the Charlie slang in Vietnam, decided to be more regal and be called Charles. Decided to change it back to Charlie since most white ppl have a problem pronoucing Charles for some god damn reason, but Charlie is fine.

I go by my asian name cuz, **** it, it's my name i never legally changed it, but i do go by Charlie when i do call ahead seating, make delivery orders. For a while i used to just use my dogs name instead James, as that was a lot easier for white ppl to say, since he died i went back to Charlie.

And no, i have zero asian accent, my wife said i sound like a white gay guy, yea i wasn't blessed with a cool Sean Connery voice.

hello there. i'm 5/2048 phoenician.

*snrk*

I mention it because it means I can't claim to be completely and utterly White Western European Chop Suey. I'm obscenely British, ludicrously Spanish, with sprinklings of German and French. Darn creepy rapist great-great-great-great grandfather getting himself an injun. *shudder* (We know she was a woman. I'd like to pretend that it was complete consensual and they loved each other and all that but let's get real he probably forced her into it and ew.)

(Also, despite being the 9th consecutive generation of people on one branch of the family tree born in California, going back to before America was even a country, I don't have any known Latino heritage, although my great-grandmother looks kind of darkish in photographs, but it's hard to tell because her hair is white and they're in black and white so it could just be contrast. Bunch of white Spaniards marrying other white Spaniards.)

Which I guess Native Americans are descended from people who walked over from Asia but still not Asian.

No, I just think if I make enough jokes maybe I can play reverse psychology on the universe and be reborn as an Asian person.

I don't know if I'd want to be reborn Japanese/Korean/Chinese/etc ... I thought Japanese for a long time - then I met Sifo and well - he's totally the kind of person whose shell my malicious soul would inhabit.

That's like me saying..  I'm kinda black, cuz I eat at popeyes 3 days a week and I buy 5 watermelons when they're on sale..

You mean you actually BUY your watermelon?

as opposed to what, download them from arrrgh-bay?

No, he could steal them from the neighborhood Asian grocer.

As for ramen, heh, my lifetime consumption of ramen is probably close to the average non-Japanese consumption of wasabi by weight.

Went to dim sum w/ wife yesterday, old white couple sat behind me.

Got up to pay the check, noticed old white couple had chicken feet bones on their plates, yea they know whats going on. (even tho the chicken feet was only, "ok" and not great at this place)

I mention this b/c i'm the chinese friend (along w/ wife) that white ppl ask to take you along with to dim sum.

i'd say 50/50 are adverse to the chicken feet. (not the foodies, they'll try anything) Most white ppl food game is weak.

oh... and not to forget the best thing ever... chicken butt skewers (雞屁股串)

And to top if off, eat green tea cakes with chopsticks :D

In my fridge you will always find a bottle of Mirin, Miso and a bottle of soy sauce... in my shelf at least some katsuobushi (鰹節) and a selection of dashi... I'm crazy about Japanese food, and not only the kind western people tend to associate with Japanese food - and I can make a Japanese girl's heart melt with my Okonomiyaki  (true story, lol)


My appearance is Caucasian.... however... if you look at that word... Cauc Asian... Cauc in Latin can mean ladle... so basically, the Caucasians are Asians unable to use chopsticks and have to use a ladle for eating instead :P
(However, anyone can be converted to a true Asian, the chopstick is the greatest invention ever - and two of them is godlike)

That depends on how far you lean towards the banana/twinkie.

If you're an ABC, it's pretty much a give you're a banana/twinkie, to figure out if you lean more towards the yellow or the white, what do you think in when you talk/write.

Your more whitey if you think in english than if you think in asian language.

Even when i talk to moms, i think in english and translate into chinglish before i speak it out.

I have a tendency to eat non-steak western foods with chopsticks...

And most Asian foods with fork and spoon.

Until now I can't eat spaghetti or pastas with a fork. I hate chasing salad tomatoes around with a fork.
But I grouch at the round table Chinese restaurants where you have to eat everything with chopsticks.

From a Taoist (and therefore anciently legitimate Asian point of view) one should always use the most convenient tools to adapt to one's needs. Being attached to some 'culture' is unnecessary.

Indian dipping foods (parathas, naans and chapatis) and breads (including Chinese buns) should always be eaten with hands.
Rice dishes always with fork and spoon , unless you're using glutinous rice.
Salads and noodles of all kinds, as well as Western finger foods like french fries and chicken nuggets, with chopsticks.
Meats of all kinds, including Chinese dishes, with fork and knife.

And this is how it is done in my household.

In Singapore this is very sensitive. The government wants to define 'Singaporean' as anybody who flies in as a tourist, and hand out citizenships to anyone who wants it (just apply, claim you have a high school education, and they'll probably approve on the spot), but some xenophobic people disagree...  :p

Ex-State-level gymnast, 4.0 rated tennis player, pianist of 20+years (guitarist for 15?), and (near) max college entrance exam scorer here.

According to the TP scale:
I'd say I'm a level 88 Asian. Not quite max because I never could get that perfect SAT/ACT score... so so close but my Engrish no good enough.

Also had to dock a few levels because I have an addictive personality when it comes to video games and manga and stuff. That and I pretty much had no ambitions in high school + college.

All this probably knocks me down to 80 but I'm arbitrarily adding 8 points to put me at level 88 because Asians love the number 8.

Raw eggs in the US are safe enough!

I've probably eaten 500 raw eggs during my time here (in between cookie dough, hot pot, and tamagokakegohan) and I haven't had any issues whatsoever... yet!

Tamagokakegohan is the greatest thing ever, as long as you got good koshihikari rice and fresh eggs, yumm!

Yea, but it's not as easy in the US, cuz you gotta go outta the way to get the pasteurized eggs here..
Minor detail. =p

Salmonella is pretty damn rare last time I heard. So I doubt even if you eat 1000 raw eggs you'll get salmonella poisoning.

I'd still wish I lived in japan, I heard their eggs are great.
Oh yeah. Here is a article I just found by doing a quick Google search:

Oh yea.. I eat many cans of this stuff every year , you can add it to anything,  spaghetti, steak, fried chicken.. anything..

AKA,   "Instant-Asian-Sauce"

it makes everything taste azn..

If ya'll go acquire this, you HAVE TO get this exact brand [牛頭牌沙茶醬]... the off brand tastes different. <in Chn, everything different = BAD >

The Oil separates from the particulates naturally,  You have spoon the oil and particulates evenly, OR you can stir up the can until it's mixed evenly each time..

I'm starting to lose patience with US citizens' definition of Asian. It's very much a product of that noxious consumer society.

For me Asian has something to do with perspectives and values and beliefs. In that sense Muslim is VERY Asian even if it is definitely not me.

What's that garbage that TP4 eats? I have never seen a can like that in my life. Most amusingly the name translated as Bullheaded Brand of Sandy Tea Sauce- even in Chinese the name sounds stupid. The wikipedia has puzzled me too, since it's not satay sauce at all. It's a very American thing I'd bet, because anything I wanna eat I'll eat it fresh or make it myself. And THAT is very Chinese (wanting to eat things fresh or make it yourself.)

Lol berserk... that's the sauce they serve at hot pot restaurants in Taiwan. It is absolutely delicious. Just because its not sold in SG doesn't mean its not authentic :p

Edit:
Also what you call "sandy tea" (沙茶) is an important staple in traditional Taiwanese cuisine - used as dipping sauce, marinade, or for stir fry all over the country. Hell, it's common even on the mainland (at least in the southern, coastal provinces) and in Hong Kong.

The Pan-Chinese cuisine consists of hundreds of sub-cuisines, many of which share very little commonalities. Perhaps "sandy tea" just isn't a part of the cuisine in SG? I'll just say this - it's definitely not a East-meets-West creation (unlike the monstrosity that is Sriracha sauce).

Ha, Sygaldry, I must have seen it before then in some Chinese restaurant, except never tried to eat it (And never seen the can before). Must have mistaken it for black sauce, black bean sauce or soy sauce, none of which I consume. Yes, laugh, but my family hasn’t eaten any of these things for a long time by now ever since my parents got the notion that they were carcinogenic. (The production methods are stomach churning so all these substances were banned.)

I am so turned off by anything I can’t recognize or understand in a Chinese/ Taiwanese restaurant. Especially after 1) consuming months of melamine milk some years ago; 2) the gutter oil scandal.

In recent years in Singapore hot pot has gained notoriety. Basically some construction workers or peasants from Sichuan will come, set up hot pot restaurant, provide expired, substandard trash that sometimes they recycle from previous restaurant patrons (so sometimes the soup has used tissue papers and other refuse inside)… so I never consume any hot pot anymore. If I want it, I make it myself or go to a non-Chinese restaurant eg Korean.

Another trend in Singapore is for local Chinese to consume… Malay food for our daily eats. The queues at Malay Nasi Padang stalls tend to be the longest because it’s a public perception that Malays are less profit oriented and cut fewer corners than Chinese. It’s really a reaction against excessively bad Chinese food. Low end restaurants and food stalls here keep employing peasants from China who can’t cook and it’s so disgusting because they use all kinds of sauces (presumably including the sand in tea stuff) to disguise what’s obviously expired food such as bad tofu.

If you were to look at my spice cabinets, the only traditional Chinese sauce or condiment you could find would be sesame oil. Many visitors to my house have been astounded at my lack of soy sauce. Can’t remember when was the last time I bought it but it was definitely over a decade ago. You’d probably think I were Indian based on the spices that I do keep!

And TP4, if you were having a word association test in Chinese (eg a Chinese language IQ test), what would you associate the name Bullhead with? Maybe these things have been lost in PRC Chinese culture, but if you said牛頭 I would always reply馬面. So to me the brand is terrible and 不吉利. (For those who don’t understand, Bullhead is a Death God in Chinese culture so you don’t want to be eating his stuff.) But of course these are associations that a Taoist or Buddhist would make, whereas a Communist Comrade might think differently. [Just checked Wiki and it says in Taiwan they are actually called 牛馬將軍 so I guess that’s why Taiwanese don’t have the same association.]

This makes me think about a recent alleged gaffe in Taiwan when a UK minister gave a watch to the Taipei mayor. But what’s wrong with giving a watch? It’s not a clock. It’s called Chiu Pio in Minnanese, which isn’t any negative homonym. Furthermore what some Chinese perceive as a Clock, is strictly speaking a Chinese Bell with an external clapper that you might ring during Taoist funeral rites. It shouldn’t apply to something from the West that works differently. Or am I simply too iconoclastic? I’ve given watches to people without incident, and also received watches from other people back in the days when I was a Casio watch geek.

Oh that was funny.

UK minister gave him a watch that has some sort of significance (only parliament members or something have this watch).
The major of Taipei (the one who received the watch) is basically a tactless *******.
He said something to the effect that he should sell the watch on a chinese version of ebay because who the **** wears watches anymore.

Clock has a negative connotation in Chinese because it's sounds similar to death, same with the number 4.
It's very ill mannered to give somebody a clock because of it's a bad luck (bull****) thing.
However, a wrist watch doesn't have that sound in Chinese so it doesn't apply at all. This basically doesn't exist at all for watches.
The UK I think out of politeness and probably other political reasons spun the story to save face.

To gift a clock or watch, you'd take a dollar in return so it becomes an exchange rather than a gift.
To gift a time keeping device without this feigned payment is seen as similar to 送終,which is to pay last respects ti the deceased (like a funeral)
The faked repayment erases this meaning of death

Of course I know about送終
I like punning and often when speaking in Mandarin I also pun.
The point was that a chiu pio (watch) is not pronounced 送終.

As for KMT, I was a strong supporter of them back in the days then they were a democratic alternative. In the 1990s the opposition was really crap in Taiwan and full of crap. They literally had speeches talking about **** and piss (yes, I know it is ok in Hokkien, but when people who think in Hokkien speak in Mandarin, it sounds terrible). But now KMT is in hock to big businesses, and if President Heroic Nine Horses is permitted to run amuck, he’ll wind up like Lackey Leung of Hong Kong and this goes the last free place in the Chinese world.

I once pissed off a Taiwanese guy by saying that Taiwan won’t last much longer than東寧 (the old Taiwanese Ming loyalist kingdom). Reality is, China has succeeded very well in locking down the Taiwanese economy because PRC got the USA to derecognize Taiwan. This makes things hard for ROC. Unlike many countries, ROC can’t just establish direct flights, consulates, business treaties, etc. It is in a diplomatic no man’s land. So for the economy to do well, ROC is forced to bow to PRC, and this creates a systemic economic vulnerability/ dependency that I can’t see a way out of.


If other Asians were wiser, they should work with ROC. In particular Mongolia, Vietnam and Japan like to give PRC the middle finger whenever they can. They should fully recognize ROC and ignore the one China policy.

Taiwanese politics is much like the rest of South Asia..

Basically every LOCAL government wrestles with this 1 simple problem..

If we let Mainland China come, they'll buy everything and we'd be out of a country..


That is actually a fact, because if they DID let the mainland investors in.. it's all over.. LOL



So their alternative is to drag politics with the US,  this way they have able to keep the country their own, against China, which is staring down their door..

There is one issue to note in the Taiwan - PRC conflict though, and that's the fact that the PRC has never ruled the area of Taiwan. The old Republic of China never ceased to exist and is still well and living on Taiwan. The tea party comparison would be more like if the tea party started a war and occupied the whole continental USA while the Obama administration fled to Hawaii and keep on running their politics from there , rather than the tea party winning some democratic process. It's not an easy political situation that will be easily solved. Throughout history China hasn't been one country either, and they are not one people either but contain many ethnic groups.

Anyways, sorry for straying off topic - I think if we were to continue this discussion we should make our own thread instead of hijacking this one

This thread is not being hijacked. These are identity questions linked to ‘how Asian are you’. I don’t identify myself as ‘Asian’. In Asia, the inhabitants will never identify themselves as Asian – only by race, ethnicity, nationality or religion. And it eternally amuses me that the ‘Asians’ here think that eating ramen noodles with chopsticks makes you ‘Asian’. (The majority of Asians, in the large majority of countries, eat with their hands.)

And tp4, with your comments on the Malays, you are really asking for it. These guys are very proud of their race and religion and won’t hesitate to use any means possible to rectify perceived insults, or just to beat you down when they see you getting too rich for their liking. Millions of Chinese have lost their lives in the Malay archipelago since they first started pogroms in 16th Century Java and Luzon. The Chinese in this region are comparable to Jews in 1930s Germany. It’s a precarious existence. Don’t pour oil on troubled waters. It takes only the rumor of a slight for these folks to form mobs and chop someone up with parangs, and the Malays are as proud of their history as the Alabama whites taking photos of their lynchings or that Southern White guy I met in the 1990s who said his family was a great one because they owned many slaves and still have their certificates and ‘implements’ (presumably whips and chains?). You should google the May 13, 1969 riots or the 1960s Indonesian massacres. Read the Malays’ comments in English (ie the more Westernized and moderate comments, because the really radical folks only write in Malay and Arabic.) The perpetrators are considered heroes and proud of what they did for stamping down the uppity Chinese.

In the past decade tons of PRC Chinese have descended on Singapore, and they don’t know history, and they don’t know how important it is to respect these people and make all kinds of insensitive remarks about Malays and darker skinned people. This is regrettably a very ‘PRC’, ‘big country’, ‘we’re better than the barbarians’ mentality. Unfortunately the so called ‘barbarians’ are more united and tougher than you.

Throughout history China has rarely won a conflict against a smaller power.

What’s this nonsense about Chinese having civilization and money? Most of Chinese history since Tang Taizong has been paying extortion fees to barbarians of various kinds, being forced to marry their daughters to tribal chiefs, or else being crushed and humiliated by yet other barbarians. 靖康之耻rings any bells? Or how about the Battle of Tumu? Or the Tibetans capturing the Chinese capital in 763AD? If ever there was a Chinese victory, the Chinese side had to spend far more manpower and money to win. It’s almost unheard of for a Chinese army to fight an equal enemy to a draw or better. During the Ming it was even said that one Manchu is equal to thirty Chinese.

The only war China has won in the past few centuries, is against a country its own size – India. Which is because the Hindus suck even more at fighting.

Chinese can’t fight. Even the Philippines has a stronger navy. So don’t piss people off when you know you can’t back up your words with deeds.

I somewhat agree with you on that comment, but the general essence of this thread was kinda stereotypical and shallow, that's why I just decided to follow suit. As for what constitutes 'Asian' that's kind of a description that spans a huge amount of cultures and people, yet most westerners seem to put this description on east Asians, I.e. China, Korea, Taiwan, Japan and other countries and peoples in that area.

Personally I grew up in a protestant home in western Europe, my ethnic background is more or less exclusively western European - yet my identity changed substantially after living in Taiwan for a few years. By living there I do not mean living an expat life - I frown upon the westerners who lived there for 10-15 years and don't even know the language or culture. I could communicate (albeit with some difficulties of course) in mandarin there after about 3-6 months without formal training. That is, I was put in a Taiwanese high school where my most of my classmates couldn't speak English, my teacher couldn't speak English and the families I stayed with also didn't speak much English. In such a situation you can't really do much but assimilate yourself into the culture and environment. Those few years profoundly changed me and my views of the world. Some of my Norwegian views I have retained of course, but that's the good thing about being multicultural - you can bring the best things from multiple cultures :-)

the US definition (census) is all non white/black ppl to the east of europe.

Mainly b/c whitey can't tell the difference.

THIS IS A FACT!, i'm being nice and letting it slide, white ppl just can't tell asians apart.

And if you're white and offended? tough, all the asians in this thread know and have experienced just how white ppl can't tell the difference.

I generally cannot tell the difference between white people from different parts of the world either... until they open their mouth.

Can't tell if this is a troll or not.

You're describing a stereotype as a (presumably) bad thing, using a stereotype.  Nice.

Unless this is a joke, but I don't know you well enough to know that.

why would i be trolling, it's 35 years of life experience. I could also say my friends that have moved out west have also experience this to. Here's is a story of shock and intrigue.

My wife and i moved to Lancaster PA, 8 years ago (have since moved out), she works for a fortune 500 company, but still it's Lancaster PA, basic statistics will show you find 1 asian in 1000.

At her time there she is friends with many of the girls one of them is a mexican girl.

My wife is 5'2, 120 long black haired chinese, pale(she's allergic to sun), no glasses, white person name

Her friend is 5'2, 150ish shoulder length brownish hair Mexican, pretty brown, with glasses, mexican name

These white ppl cannot tell them apart, it's like a mega mystery to them. They would constantly get cross emails that do not pertain to themselves, and just call/msg each other and say, "this sounds like it belongs to your project, want me to forward to you? they got us mixed up again"

You can't call these white ppl racist, b/c they aren't, they're just non-white facial blind, everyone who is not white, just seems the same to them.

Oh yea there's more, later on they hired another asian, and all 3 now get crossed msg's, and lots of times they'd get
"oh hi, soso wanted me to give this to you"
"that's not me"
"what, you sure?"
"no, my name soandso, you want soso over there"

And they're project managers, so not just regular worker bees.

Btw, just yesterday my wife was watching a drama where the boy had one of those fruity aprons on, and i was like "why do they have to be so fruity", she's like "it's cute cuz he's a cute flowery boy"

No one has posted to this thread since earlier this year, and it seems sad to me. GH just isn't the same without people talking about how Asian or not-Asian they are.

Anyway, I just wanted to let you know, in case you were wondering, that I'm no more Asian now than I was in March. However, if any of you have become more Asian, please post your follow-ups here.

BTW, I won't be returning to this topic, so make as much fun of me as you want about the "zombie" thing. Really, go for it. Feel meaningful. Use your own words, but other people's images.

I find it highly irritating the fact that nobody seems to believe me when I say that my full legal name is how you see it. I've been accused of using a false and misleading name of which I find very offensive. Is it because I'm Asian? Is it?
Having my fb shut down multiple times and forced to change my name to my "real" name, so just to put it out there. My name.
Yours sincerely,
Phuc Dat Bich

been hearing the joke for awhile but never knew that there was some one with that real name until today though :))


funny is, Phuc is not a family (last) name in Vietnam, so, troll parenting is troll

which is annoying b/c it's these kind of obsessed ppl that "bump up" the ratings on these dramas. What i mean is, their fandom artifically increases the popularity of a drama along with ratings and rankings, which is annoying if you want to watch a good drama, or just watch the dumba$$ flower boy horrible act.

Yes, this affects me b/c my wife is like "hmm don't know if this drama is good or not, guess i have to try", it doesn't help that i yell "holy crap this is the suck" 96% of the time. Yes there will be the odd good drama, but it's like a 4 leaf clover.

Yeah, I can definitely agree their with their closeness. There's a lot of Vietnamese people in my area. Generally, I guess I think of Asian as anyone from East or Southeast Asia. Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore. All asian imo.

I do sometimes watch my nephew play Dota 2--because, like you, I cringe at any sort of level-grinding. I cut my gaming teeth on the vector graphics of the arcade scene in the late 70s. My aunt introduced me to the life-changing wonders of Pac-Man and the neighborhood arcade, as I have passed my flaming joystick to the next generation of gamer. He's 15 and can best me at nearly every sort of video or board game, just as I proudly did against my parents and their aging heavies of the previous generation. He now beats me at Magic: The Gathering, Halo, Starcraft, and Counter Strike (if I dared to start).
