Obligatory (WARNING: N-word in effect, but (imho) hopefully given a pass since it’s Blazing Saddles):

Raise our boys to look women (well, heck, anyone for that matter) in the eyes and read their emotions and empathize with them— always, especially during sex.

Sex can be an inherently selfish act, but it doesn’t need to be— it in fact, shouldn’t be. If you’re only thinking about only your own needs during the act, I…

I have pulled two *72* hour no sleepathons due to crappy work deadlines and small offices putting you to supervised work in my lifetime. Physical drudgery work and the fear of getting fired easily keeps you awake.

For you younger folk yet to experience this, I do not recommend it, no matter how much you tell yourself…

I just love the thought that my 30 year-old experimental self can relate to octopi going through a similar feel-good trippy experience.

That and my blood sugar threaten cardiac arrest and/or killing an extremity. I can totally sympathize.

Are you sure she didn’t mean the 1970-80’s slang term “freaky”? Because then she’d be right on the money. 

I’ll be honest, after seeing Crazy Rich Asians and then going on to watch this series, I was extremely disappointed to see the portrayal of Asian Americans. I mean, other than Colleen and Mika, everyone has some sort of ties to the Triads and/or somehow knows kung fu; and even so Mika is portrayed as hypersexualized…

For BOoS, I recommend taking over cooking and pantry duties. One, it helps take some of the domestic pressure off his fiance, giving her more time to focus on herself and Two, it allows him to control what snacks/sodas she has access to. Definitely get healthier alternatives. The less “in reach” those options are, the…

I majored in architecture but did not end up pursuing an occupation in the field (My family forced me into the major— unlike other Asian parents who wanted their kids to be a Doctor, Lawyer or Engineer, my parents wanted me to pursue the family biz, so...). However, with all the charettes I had to endure, the major…

I’ve watched exactly six episodes. I’ve had at least a dozen explained to me. So yes, I’ve clearly not watched the majority of episodes. Whenever my friend attempts to show me more episodes, I shake my head at the depictions, and walk out of the room or request to watch something else.

It’s like: motherfucker I am already Chinese. I have to inform you ignorant asswipes how Asians actually act, and now I have to inform you how geek/nerd culture works? Fuck that.

Pretty much what Killahmate and Ishamael said. I don’t watch the show, but some friends of mine (who are not nerds) will bring up the show in reference to something that happens in real life. When I mention that I have no idea what they’re talking about, they try to go into detail about the scene and characters. I…

You should really get to know one of my friends that I’ve known for the better part of four decades (I’ve been friends with her since Junior High School). Smallish Chinese woman who grew up in Oakland, she has always spoken with a Cantonese accent mixed perfectly with Ebonics and the mannerisms of the local culture.…

Definitely! I would suggest that BitchSwan take a visit to the Bay Area (specifically, my hometown and current place of residence; Oakland) and see that Asians, like anyone else growing up in a particular neighborhood, steep themselves in the culture and end up becoming examples of that culture. To say that we’re…

Maybe. But as an Asian American, I grew up with childhood books and cartoons based off the Monkey King. See Havoc in Heaven. More so, do a search on youtube and you’ll see a plethora of movies based off that. On Netflix alone, they have a newish series with a more ‘human’ cast called The New Legends of Monkey.

I…

Hong Kong Cinema has done the same, there’s not necessarily a beginning explaining how things became they are. I’m pretty certain John Woo has done this with a couple of movies (I remember him explaining that that was the premise for at least two of his movies, but the article must be decades old now).

In any case, I…

I don’t know what it is, but every time I hear this song my chest gets tight and I begin to weep profusely. It’s either culture in action or all the suppressed playthroughs of Civ IV where I lost horribly rousing themselves from my distant memories. Either way, stunning, stirring music. It’s easy to see how…

I was just thinking that! 

...And I apologize for this string of replies, a week after the original discussion. I felt that this link better explained where I stand on the matter of reparations:

By the way, I urge you to follow this bill if it means something to you (for it to pass or not, that’s up to you and how you want your representative to vote):
