any asian whos not "azn"?, why is "azn" now the rep for asians! Options

[dao]

well.. im just wondering and tired of this azn thingy...

im sad and just saying why!!! that the internation channel changed to the azn channel

but still.... it somewhat bothers me somewho....

sooo.. what are your ideas... you into "azn" ?

hold up.. no offense to the ppl who does use azn...

[*XLilAznGrl592X*]

hmph. so u probably hate my username! i just use it because i can type it faster, i mean i have no problems with typing asian, but i just like typing azn better..

[*autumn.*]

oh you mean when asians are all "OMG AZN PRYDE" and stuff? yeah..that annoys me as well. it's great that they're showing pride, but there is such a thing as too much.

[xsweetxcandyx]

i don't like people who use azn tooo

i'm asian..not azn

[Looow]

oh you mean when asians are all "OMG AZN PRYDE" and stuff? yeah..that annoys me as well. it's great that they're showing pride, but there is such a thing as too much.

exactly.
it just gets annoying.

[KELLYYY]

It gets super annoying when people use the word "azn" a lot.

"Like omfg. Azn pride!!!!"
Exactly what autumn. said.

[*Statistik*]

I have no idea what you guys are talking about. im asian and AZN.

[gigiopolis]

We had topics like this before. But...they were sort of different so I'll leave it to the other mods to decide.

Anyway...the Asians who are all "aZn PrYdE" don't really piss me off THAT much. I think they could tone down their pride, but at least they have some positive attitudes. I'd much rather see "aZn PrYdE" than some racial slur.

[JlIaTMK]

Hm, it has been for a while.

You just decided to make a topic about it....

[alivenwell]

AZN.......wha?

[emazing]

Saying [AZN PRIDE, OMG I HAV AZN PRYDE] is annoying, but you know.
Us Asians saying that we have Asian pride and are proud to proclaim it are alright, it's nothing to get mad about, unless he/she is a total noob about it.
THEN it gets annoying.

[azn_r4pf4n]

I don't go out and say "Asian Pride." Once in a while, i might say that "I'm proud of my culture and what it has done." Sounds more mature than "azn pride."

All that stuff about "Azn Pride" has almost completely dwindled nowadays.

[heyyfrankie]

it just gets on my nerves whenever i go to a xanga site and the top banner says AZN PRYDE and then the bottom banner says AzN pRyDe and then the username is aZn___PryDE3983 and the cursor says AZN<3
and all of that stuff. i have no problem with having pride and positive attitudes toward your culture & race but c'mon...there are some limits.

[sharerol]

Yeah, it just gets overused and annoying. The only time I used the word "azn" was to make an AIM screenname to pester one of my friends.

[enyceXaddiction]

i just spell the whole thing out. its more appropriate haha.

[Babiexdreamerz]

Sure I love being asian and everything but I dont have everything with "azn" in it. I mean, its great to show your pride but some people just go overboard.

[PinkTrash]

well; before i wasn't into all this pride stuff, but my godcousin kind of got me into it somehow.. i was a bit 'Azn' for awhile, but ah I dont care much anymore.

[loljuliana]

i guess they just use it to seem more "gangster" or if they're too lazy to type it all out.

[*jooleeah*]

You spelled Asian wrong. Haha, niceee.

Anyway, I get what you mean. "aZn PrYdE" is so annoying. There's nothing to be proud about if you're "azn".

[Nugget]

Haha, I use to use "azn" for usernames because asian is too long and such. Now, I really don't care for that word. I swear, I used "azn" too much.. I'm not into all that "Asian/Azn Pride" thing. Either way they spell it, I don't like it. It's so annoying to see people too proud of their own pride. Like Khmer. These Khmer people I.M me and has "Khmer" in their sn and I go on their Xanga and banners, wordings and such has Khmer. It's too much and annoying. And the Khmers that I have been talking to talk like with those words. (Ex. dis, lyke, etc.) It's quite hard to understand. And no, I'm not saying just Khmer people do that, you can see noobs and others do that in cB too. I'm sorry, but it's just annoying and you don't understand them very well.

[Pulchritude]

*Looks at my sn, Runs away!*
Well I use it cause its shorter and my username wouldn't look as good like asian.peace.maker

[sweetxsimplicity]

I don't really care..azn, asian, it doesn't matter, just like color and colour. They still mean the same thing, it's not like a stereotype thing, so who cares.

[toodlepops.]

^agreed.
I guess some kids decided they wanted to make a trend and guess what..they did.

[Spirited Away]

You should have learned to spelled Asian correctly first.

Anyway, I fixed it.

[AnorexicAngel]

blah. it annoys me to an extent when people do that.

[sadolakced acid]

azn is another cool 11 year old chat thing that people use when they're learning how to type and hunt and peck. later, it's just 'cool'.

it's always been stupid tho.

to me- if someone says azn it says something- they're an overachieving, parental unit driven, azn-is-the-best, suburban prep-wannabe.

[dao]

YES YES... I KNOW... I SPELLED IT WRONG...

ASIAN!!! THERE YOU GO!!!!!

soo... yeah...

i was just lazy to re read it...

[magnificentmike]

Nope, I don't get annoyed by it. Although I do get a little annoyed when people complain about those things all the time. Don't sweat the small stuff.

[_sarcastic_]

i don't find it annoying, i don't really care how people type it, i mean i guess it's just a word nothing more.
UNLESS
the word AZN is like overused like what Frankie said. then THAT'S annoying

[callmeroger]

This is probably the fourth time I'm ever typing "azn" in my entire life, even online... lol

So, here's an Asian who is not "azn" (<-that would be the fifth time ever). I'm just a person.

Maybe it's their way of belonging to something like a group. I don't know, I'm just a person...

[callmeroger]

oh you mean when asians are all "OMG AZN PRYDE" and stuff? yeah..that annoys me as well. it's great that they're showing pride, but there is such a thing as too much.

Autumn...

I'm with you on that one!

[*Weird addiction*]

I hate it when people type azn instead of asian. It's annoying...

[rAwritsgWeg]

well its just a slang term that people like me use

i dont know about others but i use it cuz its easier than asian and cuz it sounds pretty cool

[TaintedDesires]

I think it gets really annoying. When asians say Azn Pride they don't get in trouble but me n my friends were making fun of it one time and we said white pride and we got in some major trouble.

[Eryi]

People who don't spell correctly, get to me. Not like I don't, but most of the time yes. In my previous posts you can see, I made quite a mistakes on grammar/spelling.

[redpeony]

what are you talking about

[*danielle_x3*]

i'm asian. some people have too much "aZn PrIdE". it annoys me when people TaWk LiKe DizZz. they think they're cooler. >_< in my school, some people swear they're asian. . . when they're not.

[mouse_3k]

azn is just another word for asian....deal wit it. Nothin u can really do now that its so popular

[aznxdreamer]

at first i thought azn stood for arizona cuz im fron az. wow...im stupid. my friends sn is aznivy and i thought it was like arizona nivy or something.

[jjc66]

hey guys, please help me out and take this quick survey. it's for a good cause and your participation will be greatly appreciated! you can just click the link below. thanks~~

[censored. this has NOTHING to do with the topic.-fae]

[HongKongDong]

It doesn't bug me because I used to be like that. There are a lot of people out there though that take it to the extreme. I used to be all "AzN PrYde" but I got out of that soon. I'm not saying that I grew out of it I guess I just changed. It's coo' to have pride in your own race but not like that. Most asian's with "AzN PrYdE" don't even have pride for their own race or most of the time don't even know anything about their historical culture.

Most of the time I.E. if your Korean and someone else is Korean then thats what they consider it. Sticking up for others because they're the same race for you and excluding all others. Well, what about the people that are fresh off the damn boat? They don't seem to care about them even if they are the same race. It's all a bunch of wannabe hip hop asian's that claim they started that style blah blah blah.

Meh, didn't make much sense, I confused myself reading it over but whatever.

[[ex]potential]

azn is just a thing people use on the internet because they are lazy or dont know how to type.

[The-Mach-Hare]

it just gets on my nerves whenever i go to a xanga site and the top banner says AZN PRYDE and then the bottom banner says AzN pRyDe and then the username is aZn___PryDE3983 and the cursor says AZN<3
and all of that stuff. i have no problem with having pride and positive attitudes toward your culture & race but c'mon...there are some limits.

id have to agree. ive never seen a xanga that was like MeX PrIIDE! or black/white pride. it just seems like they are overracting. great, you have pride in your culture, as does everyone else, but you dont have to promote it. i dont walk around with a shirt on that says "WHITE PRIDE. ITS THE BEST"

[*lolita kitty*]

it just gets on my nerves whenever i go to a xanga site and the top banner says AZN PRYDE and then the bottom banner says AzN pRyDe and then the username is aZn___PryDE3983 and the cursor says AZN<3

agreed.alot of my friends are asian, and i hate it when they have their "moments" where they huddle and begin to talk about their asian foods their mother cooks and their rice and crap like that. then they all say "AZN PRIDE!!!" and high five. its like... ok.... i mean... their one of the few races that can have as much pride as i wanted. if i made a xanga that said "WHiTE PRiDE BiTCH!" or something, every black/asian/mexican person at my school would haunt me down and beat me up for being... racist.... um, right. =l

[cyber]

i dont think it matters really, its just a spelling that people do. just like slang spelling..nothing more

[[Scr3amin][Horro...]

I am azn/asian I really dont mind lol I usually type 'AZN' its faster

[Hiphop d[-_-]b]

im pacific islander [:
sometimes people say filipino is not really pacific islander but asian, sp i guess.

[sadolakced acid]

really

azn isn't faster becuase of the z, it's harder to hit. asian is much more natural to type.

or, i just can never hit the z.

asian doesn't use left bottom row, which is good.

[*salcha*]

AzN prYde, YooOo. Yeah, because typing like that is just so cool.

[/sarcasm]

[theKingOfRussia]

well.. to be honest this is the first place i have ever seen so many people use "AZN" anywhere... but hey if it allows for people to not type as much im all for it

[gelionie]

I started using when I saw others did, and I even made a username called 'azngurl' or something like that.

Don't worry, I haven't used the word 'azn' for a long time.
I prefer saying 'asians'.

[sadolakced acid]

white pride, you know. whites are the best race out there. if you're white, you need to marry a white person, because white is the best.

now replace white with asian and you get what a lot of asians say.

[vivieeeen]

*shrugs*

i'm in. Azn just doesn't ring a bell.

[xoxoxx]

I have a friend who gets carried away with his "AZN PRIDE". I mean, it's really stupid because he says he hates white people but he barely knows any white people. And he always says he has pride, but refers to his "people" as chinks. He always says,"Yeah i'm a chink, kiss my yellow ass." It gets very annoying and that's probably why some people are disgusted or annoyed by asians, mainly because insensitive ones thinks they are helping by spreading their pride, but instead, they're making matters worse.

[demolished]

omg.

azn and asian are the same meaning. azn is a word that you can spelled out faster.

People like me use "azn" in my cB screen name because "asian" doesnt even fit.

Words that are shorter are better.
Instead of Doctor, the made the intitial "DR"

Why do you people get so .. "over reacted" IMP.

[*anubis*]

i like azn better for the convenience.

but the WOO TA! AZN PRIDE! thing does get out of hand.

...and really annoying.

[this__love]

azn is just a short way of saying ASIAN >_>; what's wrong with it? o_o; i don't get how you can get pissed off or annoyed because of a word. Sure, there's a lot of people using azn in their usernames and stuff but still.. it's just a word, get over it.

[demolished]

yayyy! same here.

[yukichan]

I don't go out and say "Asian Pride." Once in a while, i might say that "I'm proud of my culture and what it has done." Sounds more mature than "azn pride."

All that stuff about "Azn Pride" has almost completely dwindled nowadays.

agreed..

i dont say azn..i say asian...i guess thats just how i am..

[yskulmate]

let them use what they want.

well, im an asian but i dont feel using azn...

[klod]

i dont see how hard it is to type asian isntead of azn so i dont use it. People i see that use azn are usually more into the "asian pride" culture.

[quyen101]

Only youngsters proclaim Asian Pride. Because all they can do is say it, but not show it. I never say Asian Pride ever anymore, but as a kid i did. Now, being asian means showing respect to your tradition and heritage.

[Saeglopur]

Never have I ever used the word azn in my life. Actually, just kidding. I have. I had a screenname: Azn Ice Eclipse. Ew.

[shortiiex]

When you speel Azn..it seems like a "gangster" way of spelling asian..in my opinion

[sadolakced acid]

using azn in a screenname is one thing.

using it in forums and IMs is totally different.

it's like...

omg! lyke, i'm 10 n i can't type fast, so n e ways i use these abbr! lol! go azns!

[Spirited Away]

omg.
azn and asian are the same meaning. azn is a word that you can spelled out faster.
People like me use "azn" in my cB screen name because "asian" doesnt even fit.

Why do you people get so .. "over reacted"  IMP.

Not an overreaction, just opinion. Oh, "asian" and "azn" are not the same. One is a word that can be defined in credible dictionaries, while the other cannot. I'm sure you know which is which. I don't know, asian just look a lot more... respectable than azn.

I think people have more of a problem with the word "azn" used in sentences than in screen names; so, yours isn't so bad.

[*stephinika*]

^^
hm agreed. haha, i used to have a screenname with it before...i think. or i used to use the term 'azn' before anyways. now...no.

[EddieV]

This may be one reason why I started to not date Asian girls..

[JoJo_x]

This may be one reason why I started to not date Asian girls..

^ Woah.......

Anyways, I have no problem with it. I still use, "Azn" because it's quicker, but I am aware that it is spelled, "Asian". I am no stupid girl.

[lilJdawg]

I know, that really pissed me off. It should be ASIAN televsion or INTERNATIONAL channel. Keep it the way it was. Now it's "AZN". uh disgrace? People should really learn to spell. Shoot.

[lilJdawg]

This may be one reason why I started to not date Asian girls..

^ Racists bitch.

[littleswallow]

I think it's great to be proud of your race... but you know, it does get annoying if you do it too much... what autumn said

[maia_dc]

Hmm, well I just don't think it's right to yell about "azn pryde." Or any other racial pride, for that matter. I mean, what's the point? YES you should be proud of your race, but not because you are that race, but because that race is part of who YOU are.

Be proud of being yourself, and don't limit it to just one race.

[dao]

I know, that really pissed me off. It should be ASIAN televsion or INTERNATIONAL channel. Keep it the way it was.  Now it's "AZN". uh disgrace? People should really learn to spell. Shoot.

i know!!! why is it the azn channel.. it was satifactory is the international channel

[HongKongDong]

^ Racists bitch.

He's asian himself....

[ldy_kari]

exactly.
it just gets annoying.

EXACTLY

[x_o]

azn, asian, it doesn't matter, just like color and colour.

actually... both color and colour are correct spellings, while azn isn't even a word.

"azn pryde!" really pisses me off.

i'm asian but i don't really go around showing any "azn pryde" since no one cares anyways

[luffyxfan]

azn = poser
asian = cool people



*note yes i am asian

[*RiC3xBoy*]

Care to ellaborate why "azn = poser"?

[OhXiet_ItzDonnA]

i guess we just too lazy to type 'asian' or something. i dont know. i just like how azn looks. it looks better

[Paradox of Life]

If you have asian pride at least spell it right.

[*lil_chubby_cheeks2*]

hmph. so u probably hate my username! i just use it because i can type it faster, i mean i have no problems with typing asian, but i just like typing azn better..

haha tina
WELL
i DONT REALLY CARE
AZN_____or______ASiAN

i like azn cuz its faster to type
JUS CUZ WE TYPE AZN iT DOESNT MEAN THAT WE DONT KNO ASiAN

GAH

[*incoherent*]

i think of it just as an abbreviation. i see nothing wrong with it.

[iced__cappucino]

why do we type "lol" instead of "laugh out loud"? eh? its easier. and azn sounds more asian than jsut asian. LOL

[ethik dreamer]

Yeah, I had it since Elementary

I also claim this topic under Blue team

[hunnigurl01]

when people say "AZN PRiDE" make me laugh.
i prefer asian. but i may say azn on aim or something, to make things easier for me.

[xtreme_<3]

yay, you watch internation, now known as azn, channel. *high five i only watch kmc and revolution on there but now that they changed the times andd cancelled rev., i'm no longer watching it. as to the whole 'azn' thing ..i think it's stupid how they just don't spell the actual word out like saying cuz, instead of because -_- i used to type like that but ..i think this doesnt really apply or even answer your question, huh? hmph, well. ah, i know there's this blogring on xanga where it says 'i'm asian, not azn' which i think is a major difference because azn is like not real asian. azn is more of a word to represent kids who act gangster or are trying to be cool and etc. it may seem like i'm stereotyping but that's how i see it. some in here say they only type like that because it's 'easier' but c'mon, it's only 2 letters more, how long would it take you to type 2 simple letters for goodness sake. i think that's a lame excuse but whatever. i prefer writing out asian 100x than writing azn 100x just because i would have to write as much. wow ..2 letters difference. -_-

[misoshiru]

the whole "AZN PRYDE" thing is hilarious. it's fun to walk around school watching all those guys think that they're so "azn gangsta" when they're not. stupid losers.

[boobooxpp]

actually...asians made up azn so azn is an asian word ta say xP but i DO use "azn" just because it's faster...like for aim or a quick entry. if i write things slowly, i use "asian" because...well...it's the actual word. but i would never over-use that word xP like x___forever said, the "azn gangstas" are losers. they shouldn't be proud of the fact that they are "azn" instead of "asian" xP

i write too much =.=

[EddieV]

I have no idea what you guys are talking about. im asian and AZN.

We can tell...

[iheartjohn]

I always thought "azn" was just shortened for Asian, like E2's username is blkpride, instead of blackpride.


But when people started saying, "We're not Asian, we're azn!!! AZN PRYDE!!!" That got annoying.
