asians, and ghettoness Options

[xBitterxSweetx]

don't you hate it? and don't you also hate it when and asian uses the word nigga? it just pisses me off. well i'm asian, but i act "normal"... what ever "normal" means

[abercrombiekid]

true that. couldn't have said it better.

[LiNHy POO]

eerr thats their choice... i dont really notice anyways

[silentstalkerdud...]

yea i hate it im black an i can say nigga but hey! its kinda to far when they say it! haha not like its bad but yea after a while it geta on my nervs i got nuttin agenst them !!but yea

[Ladii_D1809]

I really hate it when Asians say the N word! Its not cool being ghetto!!! I mean whats cool about it? COULD SOME ONE PLEASE TELL ME??

//EDIT// I hate it when ALL races use the N word even blacks!

[X serenity]

it doesn't piss me off. some of the asians in my school does it...

[xscore]

i think that if black people can say the word, everyone should be allowed to..... =/

but yes its annoying when ANYONE tries to act ghetto...

[xBitterxSweetx]

I really hate it when Asians say the N word! Its not cool being ghetto!!! I mean whats cool about it? COULD SOME ONE PLEASE TELL ME??

//EDIT// I hate it when ALL races use the N word even blacks!

i guess they just wanna act all tough and ganster.. i dunno

[xquizit]

don't you also hate it when and asian uses the word nigga? it just pisses me off.

Yeah, they sound pretty ignorant as would any other race, including even black folks, for using that word. It seems that people are just treating it as slang or as a "cool" word to call your friends but they obviously are not sensitive to the history and the real meaning of that word.

And I mean, wouldn't it sound or look stupid if you saw some black people talking to each other and referring to each other as "chinks" or "japs" or something. Well, thats how it looks when Asians refer to each other as "niggas" or "niccas" or "ni99as" or anything of the sort.

[Ladii_D1809]

i guess they just wanna act all tough and ganster.. i dunno

Idk but why would you wanna be gangster? I mean people, cause when you want a job and you actin "Ghetto" they don't wanna hire you! I mean who wants a doctor to be all "You madd sick mann! I think yous should gets some drugs in yo body!" Come on??? I serious! Our world now is just DUMB!

[*NatiMarie*]

//EDIT// I hate it when ALL races use the N word even blacks!

I have to agree w/ you there. I hate it when ANYBODY says the N word. When Elizabeth Eckford came to our school to talk to us about racism and such, she opened a lot of kids eyes and told them that using the N word is degrading to society because even African Americans oftentimes use that word at my school and I don't like it. A lot of people of different races do too and I feel like grabbing their face and just pulling out my whip...okay...nvm. You get the point =D

[silver-rain]

that's true. i hate it when people, anyone, tries to act "ghetto." it annoys me- and when they use the N word, its like "just stop!"

[illmizzkim]

I don't mind asian people being ghetto--whatever floats your boat. Just as long as they're still nice.. but it really erks me when anyong but black people say the N word. It bothers me..

[angel-roh]

it's ok for me...if they want to say like that... let them... dont wana be involved with them... i mean they will learn their lessons later on... but u know i get sick of it...but u know... even tho they say that... i dont think nigga as slavery...the meaning of nigga... i jus think them as someone's name... i mean who the fck created that word. yeah... the white ppls lols jk

[xjjajeengx]

what can i say...
its really annoying when those prety boys or gurls try to act all cute one moment, then "gangsturr" the next. its like... STFU!! but i cant do anything about it, its their nature

[koreansaga510]

i think that if black people can say the word, everyone should be allowed to..... =/

but yes its annoying when ANYONE tries to act ghetto...

true Dat

[dani41790]

well i think its kinda weird but i realli dont care

[iheartsimba]

so white people can say nigga, black people can, but asians can't?


fudge racism

[abercrombiekid]

i dont think any one should say that word. its unappropriate.

[huihead]

eh it's in a whole different context

[onenonly101]

first, ummm being ghetto is a mentality NOT a color!

white people don't well in the presence of blacks call them niggas. i haven't heard an asian person say it either. Only blacks folks call each other niggas down here, i don't call anybody nigga or want them calling me nigga, because i am not ignorant.

[F_L_I_P]

don't you hate it? and don't you also hate it when and asian uses the word nigga? it just pisses me off. well i'm asian, but i act "normal"... what ever "normal" means

Agree i just hate it.

[eggscezz]

eeeek!! a friend of mine who came from cali is always acting like ghetto.. then i told her to stop acting like a ghetto.. and then she said: "I am not acting like ghetto.. I am ghetto!".. i don't like it when asians act like ghettos.. and my friend told me that all asians in the states act like ghettos.. well, i think she's wrong.. Asians from CB are not ghettos.. i wish.. :crosses fingers:

[abercrombiekid]

im not ghetto ;] im proud.

[Spirited Away]

Eh... it's just their immaturity showing.

It is offensive, no matter how you look at it, no matter what race uses it, no matter how that race defines the word.

Some people just can't learn respect.

[x Wolf Tearz x]

I am white but I hang around with azns n blacks n basically everyone (including whites too but not many) so I have been called a wigga, a wazn, and other things I cant remember. It doesnt bother me because Im used to it BUT every once in a while my black friends go overboard and really say too much. I hate being white honestly because it seems like no one will ever leave me alone for it! So my opinion is I dont mind the N word but it should only be used among friends otherwise it can start things among people and thats not good!

[conster]

i think.. like wen asians use the words nigga and stuff.. they try to be ghetto... like not only asians, i think anyone that tries to be ghetto are... gay lols

[eggscezz]

i think.. like wen asians use the words nigga and stuff.. they try to be ghetto... like not only asians, i think anyone that tries to be ghetto are... gay lols

i agree..

[*CEP*]

I hate how they type.
I mean, seriously now, how the hell do you pass that off as english?

- Chinkieeyedpnoi

[refreshe]

Oh gosh I hate it Especially when people say the "n" word. Heck, I'm even afraid of saying "black" to african-americans.. I dono I'm just like that.

A lot of asians at my school act ghetto and try to be black and then they go all out in their "asian pride" stuff -___-

[shortystyle]

I not fob.... heh heh heh.. (no one laughs) I don't do that. But, once I got my math test back, and I got an A I said YET!! Really loud, trying to say Yes. Notice, I live in an all white school. Well, 75%.

[kantoaznboi]

i do find it wrong that azns r sayin that, but other then that, i really dont find anything bad wit aznz emersed in the hip hop culture. some of the cutest azn gurls r the ones that r emersed int hat culture, hehe ut there are azn gurls that rnt in that culture that r cute. lol

[sheddingtears]

Nah it doesn't really have an affect on me, unless they really mean it. It's disrespectful though, cause I wouldn't wanna be called something like that. It's not my fault being the race I am, which is asian. A lot of people say it at my school, in a joking manner, that is. They call it to their asian friends. I rarely see them call it to blacks. Just as long as it is not in an offensive way, it doesn't bug me as much.

[whomps]

Most of the asians that I know that use the 'n' word are usually just playing around.. It's not like.. for real.. It's just like 'What kneeeguuhh?!!' when their playing CS and talking on veeeent. But yeah.. Sometimes it gets annoying



But I hate it when they TyPe LyKe DiZ yO!
and do AZN PRYDE FoRevA! AzNz RULLLEEEZ!

[refreshe]

But I hate it when they TyPe LyKe DiZ yO!
and do AZN PRYDE FoRevA! AzNz RULLLEEEZ!

No one I know types like that anymore (stickycaps) but a LOT of people I know talk like this:

OMMMGGG how em i gunna liv wiffout yooh guyz? ima mishh yoooh awl uh HOLE lotz kk?! tok tew meeh offen on aim, aite? mmkayz, bai baiz yall

ergh.. And I can't believe I typed like that when I was younger /sigh*

[jaeman]

Well then, I don't really care. But it's their life and their choices, they can act black and stuff if they want to. Does other people have the right to stop them from doing what they want to do?

It's just a style that they like and they want to show it. Don't be hating on them.

[Yemmerz]

I hate how they type.
I mean, seriously now, how the hell do you pass that off as english?

Ay3 y0ungIn A1N't nUtT1n RoNg w1t D@t sHiZz =]

Well no one should say the N word even if they're black. That word has so much pain and racism in it...it's disgusting. And then when anybody else who says the n word gets jumped. Thats bull. I think everyone should stop saying the word all together. I'm gonna start calling my home girls [=D] kool aid.

"Wussup Kool Aid?!"

[xquizit]

first, ummm being ghetto is a mentality NOT a color!

Thank you!

I've been reading some posts here and for some reason people are equating ghetto=black. Being "ghetto" has to do with how you were raised and where you grew up and what you are used to. Not what race you are. Even tho some of you may not like people when they act "ghetto", sometimes it's all they know cuz that's how they grew up. And of course there are those cases where people just try to fake it.

[mznina]

not just asians but cauasian people also use that words with their friends, yea it pisses me off also!

[Disappearing Boy]

all asians say it at my school but i think most of the time there just playing around

[Ladii_D1809]

so white people can say nigga, black people can, but asians can't?


fudge racism

no... I don't feel all that offened when blacks say it but when someone hwose not black says it, it pisses me off cause if you go back in history whites called slaves Niggers! (excuse my language)

[phatty]

hahHAha yeah well if they wanna be "ghetto" then it's their choice~

[hybrid]

Ghetto I guess.. is like.. a style.. right? Thats why many people like it. Right? Its a style.. right?

[noobrice]

lol the n word is funny to me... i dont use to be racist or in any offencive way.. i love using it to top the icecream.. like the word bitch is good with ever sentence said lol

how you doing, bitch?
or how you doing, nikka? i use nikka for mildness.. my friends who are black says i can say it aslong as im not white lol white people arnt suppose to say it.. any other race.. is ok he says

[&_brand.new]

we don't have asians at my school......

[xBitterxSweetx]

And I mean, wouldn't it sound or look stupid if you saw some black people talking to each other and referring to each other as "chinks" or "japs" or something. Well, thats how it looks when Asians refer to each other as "niggas" or "niccas" or "ni99as" or anything of the sort.

And of course there are those cases where people just try to fake it.

both well said. in this case i'm talking about asians who didn't grow up in the ghetto and are just saying that for fun.

Ghetto I guess.. is like.. a style.. right? Thats why many people like it. Right? Its a style.. right?

yea its like the new trend

[BeyondElite]

watch it bud.

[happyforever]

Yeah, they sound pretty ignorant as would any other race, including even black folks, for using that word. It seems that people are just treating it as slang or as a "cool" word to call your friends but they obviously are not sensitive to the history and the real meaning of that word.

yeah, im totally with her on this one, lots of ppl who use 'nigga' dont knnow the history of the word, and if u use it in the wrog way, its just a wrong thing to say. plus, i think its weird when white ppl say it not just liike asians. but thats me.

[happyforever]

actually, scratch that--the word is messed up anyway, because its so bad if u go back to its origin: white slaveowners called their slaves that, or like racist white ppl called blacks that. im white, and some of my best friends r black, and i could never imagine myself calling them that, its just wrong, even if ur using it as a term for 'friend' so i agree with Ladii_D1809. shes totally right.

[Yemmerz]

And some people shouldn't act ghetto, cause they don't know what it is like to live there. I used to live in the ghetto. Oh yeah, it's uber cool to act ghetto. Act like youi have a chance of getting shot everyday when you live in a suburban neighborhood. Most people think if they can switch on BET or MTV and watch a rap artist they know ghetto.

[JlIaTMK]

u took the words out of my mouth.... i hate it when a lot of asians act ghetto.... i mean do u no how it is to live there? it just pisses me off.... my friend does that n he knows nothing about it

[Re-Mixxed]

I dont really care..but what kind of pisses me off is when its a white boy..i just DONT know why?..(not being racist) Im Black/Asian but not many people get pissed with me for saying slangs because i basically look black..

[Re-Mixxed]

I agree! nowadays alot of people (including me for some reason) feel that only Black people can be 'ghetto' i for one sometimes find it annoyin when others try to pretend their 'ghetto' when they're absolutely NOT..they are just show Offs
I am Black/Asian and i use alot of slangs but it's just the way i am..most poeple who think Ghetto=Black dont really mind with me because i look black..

[defjam_gangsta]

Greetings!!

i think it has somethin to do wit da environment they are influenced. i mean. for maself, imma into dis cultural. da cultural of black music. it's people. everything. and bcoz of dis culture, ppl tend to be ignorant. these ppl or so called followers tend to get da wrong msg and thus such misunderstandings arouse. i just hope things would be made clear tat's all. oh well, CHEERS PPL!!

[mizz_mithy]

i hate it when thay use nigga. i can't stand it! they don't even know what the word nigga is really about. it pisses me off.

[distortedMIND]

It's sometimes annoying when people pretend to be ghetto if they aren't. Especially if they're really rich.

[Note]

you know ghetto means poor.

::jerry::

[mai_z]

it's offensive, and stupid...i don't even like when black people use that word....I don't like when asians try to be black tho... i like the hip hop culture, and i'm totally into guys who are, but sometimes they just push it ....

you know ghetto means poor

actually it doesn't, that's a common misconseption, it's a certain section of a city where certain types of people, whether ethnic, or by financial status...

“trapped in ethnic or pink-collar managerial job ghettoes” (Diane Weathers).


oh, and one more thing....u say that asians don't kno wut it's like to live in the ghetto.....u guys are stereotyping now too... a lot of it is where they were raised, a lot of asians DO know what it's like to live in the 'ghetto', whereas a lot of black people live in upscale suburban neighborhoods, and because of their race, they're permitted to act like something they're not, while no one else can??

[m@dcow]

normal is your opinion... i think asians have a right to say those words... it doesnt really piss me off.. i just find it funny

[LatinaLady]

for me its hard to imagne asians being ghetto. it just dont fit together for me. and for the N word i wouldnt mind heeaing it from black people but if any toehr race says that then i see no way why.

[brokenskys]

its called asians who wanna be black. not like therez anything wrong with that... u'll just look stupid... asians who are ghetto just look. DUMB. and thats the end of it.

[*the_overachiever*]

it annoys me when rich, well off kids with fancy cell phones and all that try to be ghetto..

[PlainNSimple]

well you know what I say. I say who cares, I'm asian yes and I use that word. If you're gonna say something about me stfu. Worry about yourself and your own family. N no I'm not trying to be gangsta I just use that word so back off.

[Davina85]

don't you hate it? and don't you also hate it when and asian uses the word nigga? it just pisses me off. well i'm asian, but i act "normal"... what ever "normal" means

i hate it when anyone use any variation of the word nigger. i don't think anyone should use that word..i dunno...but i find it highly offensive when someone says nigga, black, white, asian...it doesn't matter...i hate when people think that using a certain word...or dressing a certain way is going to make them appear like something they are not...there is so much more to "black culture" or any culture than that

[Ms.ChubbyCheeks]

Well it relly depends on where they grew up in. I understand if they're a wannbe gangster and they just use the word to try to fit in. But if they really grew up in the "ghetto " ( and what i mean by that is they grew up with street violence, broken family, drugs, etc ) well i guess it gives them an excuse for acting the way they do. But u cant just label ghetto ppl as just hispanics and blacks, asians can be too, it just all depends where u grew up in. *mary

[smallymollyLINDA]

i think that if black people can say the word, everyone should be allowed to..... =/

but yes its annoying when ANYONE tries to act ghetto...

you are sooooo right...

[Davina85]

i have an itailian friend, she and her family pass the word ginzo around, but just b/c they do it...doesn't mean it would be appropriate for me to do it...i dunno...i just wouldn't feel comfortable with "if they say it...i should be allowed to say it to" i dunno...i could be wrong i don't think one person saying something bad, would enable me to say it...whatever..here i go...getting all politically correct...its just a touchy subject for me

[TheSuGaRAdDiCt]

i dont think any one should say that word. its unappropriate.

i'm with them

[babixlilac]

i dun even notice it if they use it

[maia_dc]

Anyone can say what they want. However, people need to realize that what they say can be offensive, rude, or ignorant.

I try not to use the words "black" or "white" because I find them offensive. First off, NOBODY HAS f**king BLACK SKIN, AND NOBODY HAS f**king WHITE SKIN! Everybody's skin is actually a varation of some sort of brown. While some has more pink, some is tan, some is dark, some is light, it's just SKIN. People shouldn't be judged by the color of their skin, nor their ethnicity.

It's like when people shout out the whole AZN PRYDE, or whatever. Instead, you should take pride in WHO YOU ARE instead of WHAT YOUR RACE IS. Yes, your race is indeed a part of who you are, but isn't there more to a person's identity than the color of his/her skin/race?

And being "ghetto." I understand that it's a "mentality" or how people were raised, but people seem to instead flaunt it as a style. I know very intelligent people who insist on butchering the English language with "dis" and "nuttin" and "aint." People who will scream in your face about beating your ass in, then take out their flashy cell phones and drive away in their fancy cars. WTF?

[xquizit]

People at our school who are black don't even care. We call each other racist names for fun.

tru- even tho im asian- evry otha person in my skool that is asian pretens they're all that- uses nigga and smokes

who cares what you think your not black

I personaly say asian shouldn't say nigga i don't like the ghetto wanna-be.... hate people like that.... i love precious asian girls not one that say n&*%^ ....

[F_L_I_P]

I personaly say asian shouldn't say nigga i don't like the ghetto wanna-be.... hate people like that.... i love precious asian girls not one that say n&*%^ ....

right right same here.

-Flip-

[xBitterxSweetx]

even if that person was raised up in the ghetto, it still doesn't seem right for them to say it....

actually i change my mind, i don't mind asians that are ghetto.. i just mind asians that aren't ghetto acting ghetto, thats all. and it just bothers me when any race other than african american uses the "N" word... but it bothers me more when someone asian says it though... i dunno, i guess it's because i'm asian.

[shipkraka]

Yeah... I got a friend who acts black... he's asian. But then again, so am I. I hate it when he just does that. Psshh... he thinks he's so cool. Lot's of people talk behind his back though. :\

But do we even use the word "ghetto" in that context anymore?

[SarahxJoy]

Erm. I don't mind it much. It's kinda' funny..er..but, I mean, around my school, I heard even blacks call each other "niggas"..even some whites say it. I don't think that words should be restricted from others just because of their race. But seriously..I think the stop to "niggas" should just stop. Either way..it's disrespectful..

[klutzditzzle]

.. well i'm asian and you cant reallie say that bout asians cuz not all of us talk like that..

If they want to be like that, just let them be like that.

A ghetto CAN be called a poor area. But it was also an area with Jews back when life was segregated.

[WinterNights2]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the romans keep white slaves? Hmmm, didn't all humans descend from Africa, but the melanin in the skin lighten from the cold climates when they moved up into Europe and stuff turn them white, when the other Africans moved down into australia and stayed in africa and moved to india and stuff? I guess everyone has African descent, so everyone should be allowed to say "nigga." I don't care if they are my friends, or they are mixed or something but, when they call me a "nigger" like they say, "you filthy nigger", then I get mad.
