No, but it always bothers me when people assume you're Chinese if you're Asian. Does anyone ever get that? 

Man, I hate that.
They don't think anything else is in Asia.
I'm like "get a map, d00d!"

Well, it's never happened to me personally.. because I'm not Asian, but eh.

I get hella mad if someone would call me a fob since I was born and raised here. I mean just because my parents have accents, doesn't mean I'm a fob!! And I'm half arab/half turkish by the way.

Haha dont worry Lo.. i dont care if u do.

--------------------------------------------------------

Hum.. no one has really called me a fob unless it was a joke even though I was born in HK and i speak cantonese to some friends a lot. I wouldn't really care if they did though, cause my parents would prob. be considered a fob too. In fact, one of my friends think im fobilicious because all the fobs like me. laugh.gif

I call other kids fobs tho.. mellow.gif And most of them only because they were BORN HERE and they still act like one. I mean, everyone around you speaks english, and you weren't even born there so you shouldnt even BE considered a "fresh off the boat'' but you act like one.. it just bugs me

and then tell them i forgive them for their stupidity.

Well, It's sort of the opposite for me, alot of people assume I'm Korean or Japanese, but that's a different story.

Anyways, it doesn't really bother me, unless someone is being racist about and and says something like "Your such a FOB, you chink/gook/ect." and if they actually MEAN that, then i'll get pissed, but most of the time everyone says it jokingly. Heck! I even call people FOBs and they know I'm joking about it, b/c I <3 FOBs to death happy.gif

wow. you look korean, :]
a very cute korean.

yeah it bothers me because the people that call you a fob either might be a fob themselves or their parents are either way its pretty pointless, im dont get called a fob though because im not one
