Encouraging is one thing. Telling us that we "should" or are "obligated" to do this or that is quit a-fucking-nother. That is the very picture of entitlement.

Black women calling themselves beautiful is not racist. You are really nit-picking here.

YES.

Yeah, faux-Asian fonts like that are a huge pet peeve. Asian writing is boxy. Asian calligraphy is beautiful and flowing. We never have things written all askew like that.

DO IIIIIITTT!!

I think originally it might've been because his translators were Chinese people with bad English? Or more likely because it's written in rather archaic Chinese, and they tried to copy the "feel" of it, with somewhat eyebrow-raising results.

A bit off-topic, but what do you think of Notre Dame's "Fighting Irish" mascot? Is it as offensive to the Irish as the Redskins etc are to Native Americans?

Also love how your response to Asian men talking shit about Asian women is "They should get over it and be more like white girls".

To be fair, most of those are on why they won't date Asian men or to counter the shit they get for dating white guys. But yeah, you're not exactly helping the "angry entitled Asian man" stereotype...

Why the fuck would anyone right an article on how attractive men of any race was unless they were either a racist douchebag or seriously misguided? Asian men are not some monolith with all the same properties.

But it wouldn't be neutral if a bunch of people stuck forks in their hair and called it a "white thing", now would it?

I think it depends on context.

What if, as an Asian person, I told you that those were offensive? How many people does it take for you to stop?

This. I can't believe (oh, wait. Actually, I can) how many times people go up to me, make racist jokes/say insensitive things/ask offensive questions about my culture, and then tell me to "chill out" because "it's not a big deal" or "it was just a joke".

It's because it's stupid. It's the cultural equivalent of sticking a fork in your hair.

There are hairsticks, and there are chopsticks.

Not articles on how good Asian guys are... and I've also only seen that one article by Vivienne (I think) on how great white guys are, and she doesn't speak for any of us.

I think I've already trashed the submissive stereotype to the ground.

There's a few factors in this, well two main ones I can think of. First, we Asians as a culture love gossip, but also love "saving face". You don't air your laundry out to the public, and AAW/AAM relationships would fall under that category for a lot of people. On Asian-language sites, trust me, there's a lot more of…

Maybe they should start?
