Yeah, people talking about how blue eyes and blonde hair are gorgeous squick me out as well. Especially talk about hair texture. I don't think there's anything wrong with saying "you have gorgeous blond/black/red hair", but when you generalize it, it just sounds.... idk, kinda wrong and weird.

I think you and soooooo many others have one thing confused:

And what features should Asians be promoting?

It's not ceremonial or anything. Though you do have to be careful of what other things you stick chopsticks in, like never straight up in rice. It's also rude to stick it through stuff.

I don't think female ribs are in general weaker than male ribs... could he have been overzealous about fighting a girl and not wanting to seem as if he's going easy on her? Taking out anger on having to fight a girl? Would the results have been the same against a similarly sized and skilled boy?

She's not a friend, she's an acquaintance.

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".
