Yes to white people living in the western world familiar with her work, and yes, of course western media would quote her to get attention for readers. I am quite certain that Korean newsoutlets or any multitude of non western, American focused outlets would be focusing on their own leaders who would be most appealing…

The cost is nothing - the bigger issue here is that the child will be considered a American citizen and therefore have a much easier path regarding American schools and universities. In China (and I suspect many other parts of Asia), a prestigious Ivy league education is the epitome of success for upper middle class,…

I’m also going to point this out - from my limited experience as a East Asian woman with my relatives and so on, I’ve noticed a trend where women don’t tend to carry a lot of visible pregnancy weight although I am sure there are exceptions. I think unless you had to prove due dates or something, it would be very…

Legit - this is something we kind of do sometimes? Like we’ll go out after a really rough session or whatever with all evidence covered up in clothes and I’ll probably still be fairly bruised and very sore and still vaguely in subspace and klutzy, and the only evidence will be that I have a necklace/choker and that…

THIS. I inherently love this shit - and while I look nothing like the lady above, I do have my own personal set of relevant pet styled items. Would I LOVE a world where I could do this without repercussion or infringing on anyone else who doesn’t want to be part of it? Absolutely. Do I live in one where this is…

m Privileged, here is best established as generic middle class office worker who shops at mid range brands such as Jcrew with a hand carry purse of slightly higher bridge designer like Michael Kors or Kate Spade. Essentially be relatively trendy, clean cut, wear generic jewelry, have a few middle class/upper middle…

For real. Plus I mean fried icecream has been delicious and around in Chinese restaurants since forever without sticking it in a bun with soggy lettuce

If you have a smartphone, download Hopstop. It is like a better version of Google maps for certain cities and will offer you a list of different train combinations/bus combinations for you to take with estimates of when the next one will arrive

Also, cultural things. I know a shit ton of Korean girls in my high school days who would come back from vacation with different noses and that eyelid surgery and clearly it was all parental + society approved. I'm going to assume Hollywood is its own little culture within itself

We don’t necessarily stigmatize men for being single parents, but it is much harder for single men to adopt due to preconceived gender notions. A single man trying to adopt a child is treated with a lot more suspicion than a single woman, who let’s face it doesn’t have a easy time of it either. Despite that, when push…

I don’t know how it works here (in the US), but in NZ where I grew up, the deluge of Asian students who wanted to go into medical school meant that there is actually ‘racial’ cap on asian students to maintain a relative status quo, which while understandable because the government wants to promote pacific island…

Japan, more so than other Asian countries, has a very strong attitude towards "purity" of blood which is as racist as it sounds, and is rarely remarked upon for some reason (either lack of knowledge, feeling out of place in western sociology lessons?) Don't get me wrong - a lot of other asian countries, east or…

Here's the thing though - I don't think casting someone of a different Asian ethnicity, even considering the contextual vacuum diminishes the distinctness of one culture to another. The danger of a actor being just considered "that Asian guy from that one thing", is not a problem of casting, but a problem of media…

I HATE THIS CRITICISM with a flaming passion. Think about how limited "Asian" cast roles are already - and you want to limit the chances of Asian actors further by insisting they ONLY play characters that they are genetically linked to? Think about how ridiculous this idea is applied to any other race of actors -…

Have you seen NY teenagers recently? I think she is actually fairly believable given the copious amounts of make-up and the slightly more adult way of dressing that I've noticed in my last two summers of living in NYC. I mean, she definitely looks "older" but not to the point where she looks like Blake Lively…

I'm going to chime in here and say that in modern TV, we don't have a lot of distinct asian leads, but we have enough "asian" diversity casting that primarily focuses on american-born asian characters that don't comment on racial history that I think it's actually rare to see a main asian cast member that deals with…

We're talking that ultra sad slowed down version though right? I mean, c'mon. That's some real mid 2010's music for heartbreak.

I don't know if they're "nicer" - but be grateful for the amazing price cuts you get on makeup. :) I was born and raised in Auckland, NZ (same place as gorg expat above) and I grew up scrounging part-time money to buy maybelline mascara for close to $25, and a OPI nail polish for $25-30. Seeing a lot of popular…

Even less exciting - potential athsma. My partner has pretty severe athsma at times and there are definitely times we have to take that off the menu or limit it to a couple of minutes and we are both in our early twenties. I have a feeling that sort of barrier probably escalates with age.

you definitely have to like it atleast a little bit tougher (of which I am a fan.). Current SO hits somewhere in the 8 range and even though my preferences really cut down prep, even slow "romantic" sex is not necessarily pain free to start.
