our skoo passed out the skoo newpaper 2day and there was alot of buzz about this article. its called WHY I WOULD LIKE TO BE ASIAN
it contains and perpetuates many stereotypes about asians and gerneralized all asian ethnicities. it disregards other asian ethnicities as if they were inferior or not important personally (and a majority of my friends) find this article offensive mainly due to the reason a caucasian wrote this article. (although it does have a few that arnt offensive, but a majority of them are. wat r ur opinions about this? heres the article  dunno if this is in the rite forum, sorry. just move it if its not. pweeze forgive me. |

Haha, don't take it too seriously. I can see whre the people that take offense from it are coming from, but these are very common stereotypes.
I'm asian myself, and it's funny. |
