haha. that's a bit racist

[hair products]

haha yeaaaa

i remember back when i didn't hang out with asians and i started to.. i couldn't tell the difference at all! now it's easier. you just notice certain things about people. Mm.. when i had the fade it was i'm korean or viet. When I grew out my hair it was I'm japanese or chinese. Sometimes I was white. Yea.

[*jimmyjackiechan*]

That happened to me ALOT when I was younger, but I had to educate them even when it was SOO difficult.

I tell them, if you are not sure, just say ASIAN. Not so hard. But, today, people are reliezing. Coolz~

[tkproduce]

i think in the uk, asians usually refers to indians and pakistanis because there're a lot of them here. reminds us how big asia is

[sunnysidedown828]

if you see a white person, can you identify what country they are descended from?

awesome, so true

[*CJ1*]

I am filipino and was called many different things. One of which was black (no offense).

[juliar]

When I was in 3rd grade, some kindergartener, obnoxious little *&)&%#*&) called me "Japanese." See, that pissed me off because he would use it as an insult. "SHUT UP JAPANESE GIRL!" "STUPID JAPANESE GIRL" and there was a japanese boy on my bus.
Now I don't care.

[NvieDi3ai3yGrL]

haha.. it's funnie that you get called the wrong aznality from what you really are. because i'm chinese but i always get that i'm flip lols =]

[silver-rain]

Haha.. I don't take any offense into that.
Mainly because I AM Chinese..
Haha

yea, me too. it doesn't bother me that much. what really annoys me is when people, especially kids, try to "speak" the language by saying "ching chang... " and whatnot. that gets on my nerves soo much...

[*jooleeah*]

i don't really mind when people ask me if i'm chinese....cause i kinda am...but i mean, it just gets annoying if people ask if i'm japanese every single day.

but you know what's even more annoying? when people ask me if i'm asian or chinese.

[xscore]

when i was younger ppl used to ask me if i knew "karate".....that annoyed the crap out of me..

[WhiteChocolate]

Heh so if thats the stereotype for asians, to be smart and know karate, then DANG yall have it good.

For caucasians, we're fat and rich, right?!

Lol i saw one episode in mad. it was like The Average Asian Guy lol that was funny.

[v459w]

heh.. im korean but some ppl think im chinese which sometimes annoys me

[da_confuzed_001]

some people have thought i was japanese and flip and vietname and u know etc. haha but i have no problem w/ that i would just tell them what i really was (chinese).

[waccoon]

What the heck are all of you so upset about?

Most caucasians(like me) can't tell the slightest difference between the different asian people. I know I can't! Just let us be stupid and ignorant. Sorry if it offends you, but we also call all hispanics "mexicans", and all black people "african-american". They don't expect us to know exactly WHICH PART of africa that they descended from!

Lol no offense, but you get my point?


But anyhoo, I think asian chicks are pretty hot.

right, african american. because they're all from AFRICA. why do you call us chinese, and not ASIAN american? because it's basically all the same.

[juliar]

Because they kind of call us Chinese anyway. They don't really complain about whether to call us Asian or Chinese. The thing is that they don't call us Asian, they call s a country, and they can't get the country right. I mean, if they're gonna do it, at least do it right.

[diz_babe_pnai]

i HATE IT when people do that. i've been called chinese, japanese, korean also hawiian and india(well, my parents joke around about that, cuz my skin is tan and everything).

[WhiteChocolate]

right, african american. because they're all from AFRICA. why do you call us chinese, and not ASIAN american? because it's basically all the same.

Oh lord...I don't know how we all started(calling yall chinese). Probably because we weren't very well educated about the eastern world, and the first immigrants were chinese. Voila! Now everyone that looks similiar is "chinese", right?

I don't know how it started, but I don't think it's a big deal...
It's kinda like someone saying I'm Canadian, and I might snicker at em' and say "No...I'm american." or something, but I wouldn't get offended...


Now stop trying to pick fights with me, Waccoon. I have no problems with you, but you seriously are looking for some, huh?

you can take things as offensively as you want to take it, im just giving my opinion, since you gave yours. when did i ever mention you? i didnt. right. because im not trying to pick a fight.

[dasturbd]

sheesh...complaining because people don't ask and assume(which i can see the point), but also complaining when people do ask

would you rather they just assume and say nothing at all and spread misinformation?? How are they supposed to know if they don't ask?? it's not like there's a
"How to Tell Asian Races Apart for Dummies" book out on the market.

well they can at LEAST be respectful and call us ASIANS instead of CHINESE......GET MY POINT!??!?!?!?!? -_______-

thats just like calling all south americans brazilians just cuz brazil is the most biggest country there and populous.....lucky for them, nobody does that to them tho
