[F_L_I_P]

Sooo..What?.. im Bored.

[o0h*s0o//d0rKaBl...]

i may s0und stupid,but i d0n`t kn0

[hybrid]

The good thing is.. its feels like you know everyone around your area that's filipino and that you are "related" in a way.
The bad thing is.. we choose entertainers as to be our leaders.

[LiNHy POO]

hmmm... well in my opinion.. the good thing is that my parents spoil me to death... haha well thats all i could think of.. bad thing is sum viets are that open with other races.. and they want more... but wont work for it..

[MrElsewhere]

Good Things Bout Be'n Viet:

1. Pho

2. Good Grades=Money!!

3. Imma ROUND EYED AZN!!
Bad Things:

1. dad is controlling; mom is overprotective

2. called chinese..STILL..n im in middle skoo..u'd think peepo would at least ask me wat race i am..

3. umMm..iuno

[xquizit]

I like being filipino because we've got a great mix and we look different from all the other Asians. I dunno a bad thing. I don't know too many filipinos.

[so4p]

????????????? im proud to be who i am..there isnt a good thing or a bad thing

[opim]

I'm Chinese, so... hmmm...

Well a good thing about being Chinese is that's whole undergroung Chinese mafia network that we have here in Chinatown, lol. jk [sorta]
I haggle well ;]

Bad thing...
We're an opressed bunch, I guess. A lot of people think that a lot of Asians don't stick up for themselves, and I feel like we're the victims? Does anyone else feel that way?
I've gotten a lot of racist remarks. Especially from the black and white people in my community. It's just the people in my neighborhood that make fun of us asians a lot. =[ But some azns have band together to form their little crews to stick up for ourselves and f 'em up =D lol. Not that it's a good thing.
Okay, I'm babbling, haha =x

[*NatiMarie*]

Good thing about being Hispanic:
1) Funny parents, who are kind of weird...(is that a good thing?)
2) If you know Spanish, most likely, you are able to use that spanish accent in different ways (you can sound italian and you are able to pronounce words that oftentimes, others can't). That doesn't really make sense, but oh well...
3) I have no idea...
Bad things:
1) People assume you're MEXICAN! GRR, that's just so annoying, just because a person speaks Spanish, doesn't mean they're Mexican
2) Some look down on you, those stereotypes that annoy the hell out of me
3) I don't know, parents are kind of strict

[X serenity]

Being Thai

Cons
+Everyone thinks I'm Chinese, Filipino, or Taiwanese
+It's not common to be a thick/fat Thai...like me nor is it really okay.
+Ignorant school kids think I don't count as asian because I'm not Chinese, Japanese, or Korean && because they've never heard of Thailand so it's not on the "world map"
+We're pretty short
+Pale Thais burn very badly
+I've never met a Thai around my age who hasn't been introduced through family
+People, even principals crack the corniest jokes of my nationality about "tieing shoes" && "bow ties"
+You're either extremely skinny [most of the time] or you're outrageously huge...

Pros
+The spicier, the better
+We're all really into family, no matter how distant or if you're re-married
+We're pretty religious [Buddhist] as Thailand is 95% Buddhist
+The darker Thais just tan, no sun burn
+Lots of brand name products are made in Thailand, so it's cheaper there.
+We can party pretty well
+Family means a lot, so if you mess w/ our cousin, mom, or sister, we will bring our family and take you down. [Errm, the younger generation that is]

Whoo, I'm pooped. That's all I can think about my pros && cons of Thais...

[short_stop08]

We're fast and can jump ha. We always get blamed for doing bad stuff around here. Guess who? Jus blame the black man.

[5ayuri]

The bad thing about being hispanic is...

1) People assume you're MEXICAN! GRR, that's just so annoying, just because a person speaks Spanish, doesn't mean they're Mexican

The good thing, I guess it that um..I don't know.
Can't think of anything.

[OhXiet_ItzDonnA]

the bad thing about it is when people dont hear the word "vietnamese" much so they ask if ur chinese. and the good thing is when there's chinese new years and the moon festival. i lo0oove that lion dance

[H0t.P1nk.L1p5]

Pro & Con of being Thai

Most thai people ...know other thai people..we are all secretly linked

Con: Yeah...some ppl don't want to consider us asian...because we're not as known Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Viets, Filipinos.....etc.

Most of the time if we mention we're thai ...they think taiwanese..

Uhh.......ok..i give up..sissy...you beat me..

[H0t.P1nk.L1p5]

[shortiiex]

good

bad
-you're different

[Latina Babii]

Nothing bad since considering my town size I'm the only hispanic girl and currently in my entire county the only chick from Panama, I'd say it's all good, but well the bad thing is when people say bad things about my country especially if they consider me a threat (not my choice of words Mr. Bichler my science teacher's), then I end up ending getting grouned from thretening, hurting, etc, I've only once ended up arrested, but the cick didn't even get anything when she stabbed me! (With a pen weak I know)

I'm very proud to be from Panama though ^^ you know what I should be off I'm going to make a Harry Potter layout, so I can become an official designer or did I want to become an offcial member?

Oh danggit to much sugar intake has mad eme go og topic. Well JA NE!

Oh one more thing, parites go one forever ^^ saw someone say good parties and I just had to add this oh yeah and the dancing, when you're hispanic or from lebonon (Excuse me if I spelled that wrong) you get natural dancing abilities ^^.

1) People assume you're MEXICAN! GRR, that's just so annoying, just because a person speaks Spanish, doesn't mean they're Mexican

Haha forgot this one too! I get called all sorts of names when people think I'm mexican but I just laugh. My step-dad's mexican though, so people who say bad things, well, I stick up for him, espically if peope say they take all the americans jobs.

Bad thing is that people call you names like        and colored and stuff. Good thing is that we're brown not BLACK so what's the point of calling us darkness..

I gotten called that and I'm hispanic, dumb really. The sad thing is my dad calls blacks that, I seriousl cannot stand him!

[*not_your_average*]

-parents think that an A- is unexceptable
-my mom think that sex is sexy for example "I DONT WANT YOU TO HAVE SEXY AT 13"
-you have to pay for the dinner no matter what. like if the other person has a new york steak and you hae a glass of water, you still have to fight to pay
-people think your hair is naturally black which is not true

Im puerto Rican and well i can get away with watching b.e.t. and c.m.t. without get called anynames..lol...uumm a bad thing is people use us to do there spainish homework and a other bad is people think we eat taco's all the time nd call us wetbacks....im not mexican so idk why they say that

[HelloSunshine]

I'm half Nicaraguanse and half Mexican.
Hispanic.
The bad things are:
I don't fit into the "stereo-type" of a hispanic because I'm a straight a-student & so when hispanics are stereo-typed and all, it gets me angry and offended.

People assume just because I'm Hispanic I'm Mexican..because alot of people in LA are, so it's somehwhat frustrating even if I am half Mexican.

People who don't know me & other hispanics are surprised I don't have an accent or talk like "normal Mexicans"

The good things are:
I can understand most Spanish
hahaha

[lovescream]

Bad = I hate it when people try to get me to say something in chinese. So annoying.

Good = Food!

Koreans:

:
- if you come from a hardcore traditional Korean family like myself you'll be expected to speak a hundred different languages and play a hundred different instruments, neither of which i have accomplished.
- strict academic expectations, especially in MATH, which i suck at.
