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. |

It would be crazy funny if the person who wrote it was Asian. But, just like African American people do not like to be called that 'N' word by other races but themselves, and just like Hispanics people don't like to be called Mexican when they're El Salvadorian... I found that pretty offensive myself...
But it was a good laugh. |
