I'm kind of Asian.  My girlfriend is Chinese-Canadian.  I celebrate Chinese New Year with them, and it's awesome learning about the culture.

Oh........ i see what you mean..... 

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..


So if we really look at who wrongfully pisses away more resources..  probably rich white people


I must clarify, this is not to say blacks or anyone else wouldn't be just as wasteful given the opportunity..

This phenomenon is merely a consequence of Whites historically having more resources for the past 400-500 years (corrected from 2000 LOLOLOL, my history's rusty)...

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Absolutely!

Plus saving time - it is much quicker to rinse the chopsticks under the hot water than to wash my hands.

2. I like anime
3. I learned Jeet Kune Do for a few years and like Bruce Lee

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.

except for being like 1/64th Cherokee, so...
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.

It seems we slavs are called "Eurasians".  A drop of Mongol horde in the bloodline, perhaps?

I'm kind of Asian.  My girlfriend is Chinese-Canadian.  I celebrate Chinese New Year with them, and it's awesome learning about the culture. 

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.

Yes, Chekov :p
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Japanese chefs would hate me.  I love what I call "disrespectful" sushi rolls.  Nice fat thick rolls made for choking clientele - topped/filled with crunchy sweet sticky goodness, with generous dollops of mayo, misc. fried tempura, and draped in sheets of unagi...

A drop of Mongol horde in the bloodline, perhaps?

(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

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.

I'm calling out for the non-asians out there....
anyone besides me who enjoy a stinky tofu (臭豆腐), herbal soup with pig intestines (四神湯), spicy duck blood (麻辣鴨血),  any kind of food sold by street vendors in Taiwan,
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)

It is my belief that most asians born in the united states(including me) as simply caucasian people with asian outsides and a bit of different cultural mentality mixed with that of the common american. So im asian-ish

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.
