Good
-food -tight knit family -huge respect among one another -great traditions -lots of wisdom Bad -everyone expects you to be extremely smart -if your not a doctor or a lawyer your not rich -tight knit families can be a little too close -a lot of poverty among our ethnicity -your not really sure of where you fit on the "color spectrum" since it's mainly stereotyped as black or white. |

Well I'm 1/4 Hispanic. Good thing is the food.. and not being completely white. Bad thing is no one believes me because I'm fair-skinned and blonde. (I get it from my dad.)

QUOTE(PinoyOtaku @ May 31 2004, 6:33 PM) Filipino: Good -Kindness and warmth is rampant. -Skilled jungle fighters (well maybe that's in the Filipino soldier category...  )-Good food, good heritage, good people. Bad -One word brings down the credibility of the Filipino people: Corruption. (cases like these aren't shown that often in Filipino-Americans due to the conditions we were raised in.) yeah.. specially the crisis goin` on right now good food = street food *isaw, fish ball, etc.* |

Bad thing: Everytime someone hears that I'm German. They automatically think I'm a Nazi.
Good thing: I'm not American. |

.:+ Bein' Colombian +:.
Good- Awesome food Great Clothes Medium/Big Hips= Curvy Body Fun Family- Really outgoing and Crazy Underestimated Intelligence Bad- Being called a Drug dealer-- pshh Most Colombian Girls are slutty so people assume that I am slutty b/c I am colombian Somehow we all have to know eachother even if we dont like eachother Mother is very picky the girls have to be beautiful,skinny, and well dressed. Father- More concerned about how the daughter looks than how she does at school. |

Being Thai
Cons +Everyone thinks I'm Chinese, Filipino, or Taiwanese +It's not common to be a thick/fat Thai...like me nor is it really okay. +Ignorant school kids think I don't count as asian because I'm not Chinese, Japanese, or Korean && because they've never heard of Thailand so it's not on the "world map" +We're pretty short +Pale Thais burn very badly +I've never met a Thai around my age who hasn't been introduced through family +People, even principals crack the corniest jokes of my nationality about "tieing shoes" && "bow ties"  +You're either extremely skinny [most of the time] or you're outrageously huge... Pros +The spicier, the better +We're all really into family, no matter how distant or if you're re-married +We're pretty religious [Buddhist] as Thailand is 95% Buddhist +The darker Thais just tan, no sun burn +Lots of brand name products are made in Thailand, so it's cheaper there. +We can party pretty well +Family means a lot, so if you mess w/ our cousin, mom, or sister, we will bring our family and take you down. [Errm, the younger generation that is] Whoo, I'm pooped.  That's all I can think about my pros && cons of Thais...
