Question for asians..., How annoying... Options

[nevernothere]

Do other asian ppl tell you that you're too "americanized"? 'Cause they do that to me all the time and it pisses me off.

[sm0kinm0nky]

no lol infact all my white friends call me chink its a nickname for me.

[yukichan]

nope they dont call me that...lol...they say im a lot more japanese-ish rather than american...lol...

[demolished]

Nope, sometimes my friends called me " pervert and gay " >=[ but i'm not .. mowahha

[jennyjenny]

Well if you live in America, then why aren't you Americanized?

I don't get it. Unless you don't live in America?

[nevernothere]

I did say "other asians".. not white ppl.. they can't tell the difference.

[DaTru KataLYST]

Christina is too Americanized! >_> Zam!!

[Inside joke]

[EXPLO5ION]

My friends dont tell me that, but my parents do.

[rememberme]

Hahaha.

Start bringing ur own lunch to school, pull out the rice, kim-chee or whatever u eat, and chow down.

That will equal it out

[tooeffingcrazy]

Well if you live in America, then why aren't you Americanized?

I don't get it. Unless you don't live in America?

Not literally. I think my asian friends are americanized. They think like all asian food is nasty. Hates asian music, but they all go towards the american style. Anyways, if i was called "americanized", i can careless.

[BlissfulIgnoranc...]

im not full aisan but i am chinese mix... my brother told me the opposite..cuz he was sayin how i act more chiney then american..but i love asian everything so w/e

[smilz2dasun]

my parents tell me that i am sometimes but they're only joking. i hope. maybe not.

but i know some people who are.... and its because they're parents raise them like that.... its a lil hard to explain. maybe if you knew who i was talking about......

[lovescream]

they tell me i`m white-washed, but i don`t care.

[visualfusion]

I tell others they're quite... uh... "out of it". x)

[racoons > you]

wy dos race matter? if you try and force peopl einto littl eboxes, it wil lnever work? you are who you are

[Spirited Away]

Not really.

I'd rather embrace the mainstream than my own culture. That does bother my parents, but it's not a bad thing.

[F_L_I_P]

I dont get whats wrong with being too Americanized. I mean im americanized but the only thing that people call me that is this i eat too much American food. So yeah I dont care. I think being in America is great.

-Phil-

[heyyfrankie]

i'm not asian but i am mexican and people never tell me sort of stuff! xP

[snak3y3z1001]

nope. then again i only have 2 asian friends o_o

[sandy_lumpy_shor...]

omg my mom always says stuff leik "the kids in china would NEVER do that but kids in america always do that." man it pisses me off

[ItzOnlySydney]

i have a wasian(hah white/asian) friend and she's from korea and she holds onto her heritidge very well. she is always telling me about korean superstitions and customs..itz kinda kewl actually.

[avalon*]

i'm really americanized. it doesn't really bother me when people say it to me.



goodness..i should go learn more about my culture.

[mouse_3k]

well when I say im hungry, people say go eat the dogs or somethin...tht pisses me off..

[laur3nw]

Yeah, sometimes they say I'm white washed, but it doesn't make me mad or anything because it's kinda true. I used forks and spoons at home instead of chopsticks, and I don't speak Chinese so yeah...whatever.

[xj_liana_tx]

no, they think i am really chinese and they think i am really racist haha

[Just_Dream]

Christina is too Americanized! >_> Zam!!

[Inside joke]

.... YOU'RE TOO ASIAN. GO BACK TO ASIA. JayKay.

I am VERY Americanized. No one's ever told me that, but I mean it's true. The only language I'm fluent in is English. Isn't that sad?

[DaTru KataLYST]

.... YOU'RE TOO ASIAN. GO BACK TO ASIA. JayKay.

I am VERY Americanized. No one's ever told me that, but I mean it's true. The only language I'm fluent in is English. Isn't that sad?

:Speaks to Christina in Chinese:

[FLIPxADDICTION]

they call me a twinkie because i don't hang around much asians.

[FiendAngelical]

well, no one had ever told me to go bak to azn land or anything like that. but i would be counted as more americanized.

[*jooleeah*]

Hrm. Well, i'm american-born. So how can I not be americanized, you know? But what really pisses me off is when I go back to taiwan, these stupid people speak behind my back in chinese and act like i don't hear a thing. they're like " omg i bet she doesn't know mandarin. she's so americanized" BLEH that pisses me off.

[*Programmer*]

well...im a mix but somtimes my relatives say it...i supposedly am not myself so..yaeh i kinda feel you on that part...

[shortiiex]

my mom says that b/c i eat american food more then chinese food and i use to use chopsticks now i use forks...but for some reason my white friend likes to use chopsticks instead of forks

[*stephinika*]

not really...sometimes we joke about it, but no one really says is like that. and most people i've heard that have had it said to them don't get offended.

[avalon*]

they call me a twinkie because i don't hang around much asians.

i'm such a twinkie.

[Just_Dream]

:Speaks to Christina in Chinese:

*speaks to Jeff in.. SPANGLISH* Me gusta a hit-o tu head-o.


Seriously though.. I just remembered. My mom's friends ask me "Oh? You father no teach you Vietnamese yi Cantonese?"

And I reply in English: "No... My father didn't teach me... "

My father was so focused on teaching me English that he didn't think it was important for me to learn Vietnamese.. well not speak it. Bleh He told my mother that since we're in America, I need to learn English.

I HATE YOU, FATHER!

[emo_in_urpanties]

they're just all jealous of our superiority...lol, jk. no, but seriously, wuts tha REAL definition of being americanized? americanized was obviously derived from american rite? well, an american is no set race....Americans r a mush pot of diff. races n cultures....so for them to say that ur americanized is pretty shallow of them.

[shortee_]

Nopes, my dad says that to my brother. But my grandma's saying I'm not "asian enough" since most people who are chinese are right handed and I'm left handed and I don't want to learn to use my right hand. and other stuff... ._.'

[gigiopolis]

No...I tell other people they're too "Americanized". I know a couple of people who are totally ashamed of their Asian background, and it's sad to see that. I'll tell them in a subtle way that they're very "Americanized".

[Just_Dream]

^ Woah.. They're ashamed of their race?

I'm not ashamed, I was brought up to be Americanized. I wish I could be more "Asianized." Anyone want to help me?

[DaTru KataLYST]

my layout is called chinese candles....


HEY LOOK CHRISTINA AND GIGI IN THE SAME ROOM!!!
HOT GUY ON GUY ACTION! OMGOMGOMG.


[inside joke]

[Chii]

yes in fact, some people say that i'm "so white" because i don't know all these chinese customs and i don't speak a lot of chinese...

it's not my fault i didn't grow up around asian people...i grew up around lots of white people, so my parents were americanized as well

[hiromi]

I'm not considered a "Banana" (asian outside, caucasian/white inside), but I'm not considered a FOB either... so I dunno...

[Chii]

I'm not considered a "Banana" (asian outside, caucasian/white inside), but I'm not considered a FOB either... so I dunno...

i never heard of that, i only heard of twinkie

[--x who0ps]

nope but if we would say that.. we dont say "americanized" its called "white washed" or something lol

[silver-rain]

Yeah, sometimes they say I'm white-washed. But I know that I am, and I am always telling my boyfriend that

[thait3n]

Omfg.....i'm so glad you brought it up!
Its Either Your a Banana, or you dress to much lie ka fob..its really annoying sometimes...Cuz if you dress to well, they call you banana..if you sress to asian your a fob...its stupid

[azn_r4pf4n]

No. Asians never say that to me at all. I don't have that much of an interest towards the US. I devote my intrest in culture towards Korean culture (I'm Chinese) and people don't really say how "too Asian" or "too American" I am.

[liloandstitchx3]

haha. i've never been called that .. (not including my parents)

haha. i've never heard of "americanized" before. only "whitewash."

but i've never been called that either.

[tofumonzter]

Do other asian ppl tell you that you're too "americanized"? 'Cause they do that to me all the time and it pisses me off.

what's wrong with your friends man.. hahah.. tell them that they are so chinese. haha

[Chaos13]

just because i wear hollister, A&E, A&F, and all that doesn't mean i'm all american. i just like the style. i wear this style sometimes or when i go to a suburban place. im usually ghetto style

[Animelover113]

no.....no one has called me "americanized" so far.....actually, i look more white than anything and the weird thing is that i'm more asian than anything.....i'm more korean than anything else. What i have been called before in the past was chink and asian chick. yep, that's basically it. My parents are the ones who really call me "americanized." i really hate that too. i dont get parents sometimes.......*sigh*

[Led-Zeppelin Lov...]

i'm not trying to sound racist or anything, but all the asian people hang out with all the other asian people at my school...i'm asian and i can't stand that asian group, they're loud and obnoxious and so extremely rude...so, it really doesn't **** me off when people tell me i'm more amercanized...actually, my gramma [[she's white]] has had a big influence on me...see, women in the asian culture aren't respected enough and they are always doing what the MALE person is telling them to do...and asian women have to be quiet and listen to orders until they're married...i started to see this and my gramma told me that it was wrong, so i changed...that's what makes me "amercanized"...and the fact that i dont' like asian food, too spice ...so, if n e body gets to know me, they'll start telling me that i'm anythign but asian...

[*salcha*]

no, in fact, i'm too asian.

[HongKongDong]

Depends on what they mean by americanized =/

[Jinjjasanaee]

hahaha. I'm americanized. but I remember what it's like to not be, so I can revert back to it if I want.

[xdorkifiied]

i think theres no real answer cus its an opinion, not a fact.. so if you think being "americanized" isnt bad, then it isnt.. i dunno what to say but i think that be as "americanized" as you want, jes dont forget your culture cus its nothing- and its everything at the same time... i feel so smart doode

[*videogamsta*]

my friends dont say anything about me!

[OriskybusinessO]

no lol infact all my white friends call me chink its a nickname for me.

Im not asian, but we all used to call our one asian frind rice cakes, lol. I have nevr told anyone that there too 'americanized' just because it says asian on you iowa test doesnt mean you have to act like it...

[mickybeans]

dont care about what ppl say about you and you'll be fine. :]

[Azn_Angel13]

okay it's so retarded. i hang out with some whie pple and my asian friends think they r annoyin. but when they hang out with them, they are like nvr mind. and no one makes a big deal about me hanging out with them anymore. but there's this guy at my school who's white and hangs out with all asians. and they call him an asian wannabe.

[gelionie]

Nope. And I think you're talking about Asians living in the US... you should have specified that cuz MOST Asians live in Asia.

[iheartsimba]

i tell my friend she's white washed...but she agrees =/ i'm asian washed so it doesnt matter

[kayiiem]

i've never been called that really. i haven't been called anything like chink or americanized, but i've been called chinese a lot when im not ..

[perfectxflaw23]

I did say "other asians".. not white ppl.. they can't tell the difference.

I'm confused. Was that implying that an entire RACE is ignorant?
Just because you haven't personally experienced the exact same thing doesn't mean you don't have the ability to understand or relate. I can relate your experience to one of mine, even though I am not Asian.

But since I'm not Asian, it doesn't matter to you, because I couldn't possibly understand.

[innovation]

not really.. most asians around here are either "americanized" or complete fobs. i do admit that i am quite white-washed, but what can one do but adapt to one's surroundings?

[cheast05]

eh...not really. at least not for me. i would say my lil bro is cause he was born here instead of china. so yea..

[MrElsewhere]

My brother is what is called too americanized. He was born and raised here. He hates rice, cant speak vietnamese, and basically just growing up like an american kid. He's rude and disrespectful towards my parents, which bugs the crap out of me. I'm gonna go beat him up now. muwahaha.

[jaeman]

I consider Asian people to be Americanized or Whitewashed when they don't know a thing about their native culture or if they can not speak their native language.

[*jooleeah*]

Im not asian, but we all used to call our one asian frind rice cakes, lol. I have nevr told anyone that there too 'americanized' just because it says asian on you iowa test doesnt mean you have to act like it...

Doesn't mean you have to act all americanized either

( i'm not saying that being americanized is a bad thing though. )

[c0oki3_m0n$tah]

I consider Asian people to be Americanized or Whitewashed when they don't know a thing about their native culture or if they can not speak their native language.

i agree. if they don't know anything about their culture and traditions, and act "americanishly" i guess then, they'll be called americanized. i wouldn't want to be called americanized. i moved from japan and i consider myself more japanese than american...lol

[sexii_dessert]

my parents say that. they want me to speak more chinese haha

[leeniex3]

mmm ... i guess the "true" korean people say that .. like parents O_o cause you know the style these days .. but in other cases nope cause then id pound them (:~

[clarissa]

no, i'm actually the one calling myself "americanized" or "white washed" or whatever.
i like to refer myself as a coconut. dark on the outside, white on the inside.

[windsflamelead_]

how can i ...i dont even live in usa > <
but when i lived in the us....the answer was no.....
they said i was TOO azn > <

[XxXAnimeLuvahXxX]

Never ever! But i'm known as a Japenese Wanna-be @_@

[imafreakinazn]

eh
not to me!!
sometimes they tell me i'm too "asian"
i'm like "wtf?"
they're like "you act too asian"
i'm like "well maybe because I AM!"
gosh. they're not very smart

[dani41790]

well my parents think im too americanized. kinda cant help it since i pretty much grew up here.

[mzawesome]

hahah nope.

[tofuburger]

hmm...no...but they used to ask me if i was related to every other asian kid in school...

[Seizhin]

Nope...at least not now...

I don't mind being called one if I'm truly one...but...

[babytt]

No, because all my friends are Americanized too.

[cLinT_wEStw0oD]

AHHH...too many asians lol

[misoshiru]

no, i go to an international school.

[aznlitostar]

LOLS.... People don't call me that. Some of my friends are Americanized too.

[xbernaa]

no..i never heard someone say that..but to think about it..most of my friends are asian..

[angel-roh]

Nope... they always called me a fob hehe. Hmm if they call me americanized... I'll be mad. Because I want to be Korean-ized...not Americanized :(

[LilAznBabe]

No beacuase i have no asian where i am. hah.

[nankkadugi]

hmm... not realli .. maybe ,,
------------------------

[xsweetxcandyx]

well i'm white-washed, but i don't care...

[xXkraziefaerieXx]

no one says that to mee.....

[RaphieRyouga]

nope not yet...if they do i smack'em im a filipino!!!

[ahhishkaren]

No. All my other friends are no more whitewashed than I am. My parents do though. But those don't.

[seremela_culnamo]

Nah, my friends just called me "white-washed". Which is quite true. So I don't get pissed off when they do that.

But I do get pissed when Fobs say I'm a fob (I'm not. CBC all the way ) and that they themselves, are CBC's. So I diss them & that totally shuts them up

Everyone in my family is "white-washed". Except for my mom. She's in between. But what can you expect from a family of siblings who were born in Canada and parents who came here when they were young, eh?

[`SWTWiNKLE3YES]

My friends dont tell me that, but my parents do. 

hah, exactly my thought!

[swe3ttemptasian]

My family thinks that I talk to much English T__T lol. But they think I'm doing better than my cousins, cause i can speak my own language.lol
