sorry if it did sounded rude...but i dont tease them...like what azn.peace.maker said, it is sad to see them getting treated badly, because of their accents, etc.

heck yes, there are always a ton of viet and chinese people who can't speak english. and it's kinda funny, cuz i understand chinses too, so i always know what they're talking about/
today in biology, this guy in front of me walked in all disgusted and was like, "I HATE FOBS. Especially those viet ones when they have five people walk in a line straight acrosse the hallways so i can't get through."
haha, i just sat there laughing.

oh yeah, and the teachers always make me translate for them too (during PE, everyone has to take it including them)
...fun mellow.gif

Haha! Yea, we have very little in my school.
My good friend Louie is a fob.
And then I call some Mexicans fobs cause they're Fresh Off Border ( since I live in California)
Ack. That was a tad bit mean.

i would said the amount of fobs is close to " ALOT " .. previous fobs usually has more respect then recent fobs .. thats what i experience at my school. i'm surround mostly by recent fobs and they piss me off but they're still good.

Fabulous Oriental Beings? Oh yes, a bunch of them.

A big number of our badminton team can speak cantonese, so I always yell out random things in cantonese to make some heads turn. It's fun.

And when my friend Ivy goes "YVOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNE!!" really loud, I yell back "MUTT YEH - AHHHHHHHHH?!?!?!" and she doesn't even speak cantonese.
