Asian Culture Discussion Thread

[computersputin]

So naming your kid a “white name” is seekign acceptance from white people huh . Gotcha.

Judging people on how they chose to name their children, or themselves is corny to me.

 

[Nawzlew]

The names of the respective culture you are from

Non whites seeking white acceptance is corny to me.

I respect a Japanese parent more for naming their kid Masahiro instead of Oliver

lmao what the ****

this might be one of the dumbest takes i've ever seen

 

[Liquid Swords]

So every ethnicity is supposed to name accordingly?

What's good with Asians picking the whitest names possible? I met a Chinese dude named Tanner yesterday

There are more Black, Hispanic, and multi racial people than Asian with the first name Tanner according to Social Security Administration data.

Names are a very Private and Personal matter. Why and How anyone would care or judge other people’s Name is beyond me. And no, I do not have an English first name.

So what is your Name, ethnic/racial background and family history?
Sure we can give you some feedback.

On the current subject of Hong Kong and Names, always got a kick out of how the people there name themselves. Unique for sure. Interesting style.

Hong Kong Loves Weird English Names

They're becoming more common, and they're not getting any less odd. Here's why.

Here’s something regarding names that will blow your mind. How White is that Name? Think his Black parents were seeking White acceptance?

D'Brickashaw Montgomery Ferguson
Ralph de Bricassart

D'MAN Behind D' NAME

D'Brickashaw Montgomery Ferguson has a degree in religious studies from Virginia and a black belt in karate. But those aren't the qualities that will make him the first offensive lineman taken in the NFL draft on April 29.

Some asians have American and Asian names and he probably just gave you his American name when he met you


It's that or he was just given one name that his parents liked

Simple as that

Nah let's not try to justify this dude's ignorance.

He wasn't annoyed that the guy had an American name. He was annoyed that it was white sounding name because we Asians all want to be white deep down inside.

 

[everysingletime]

Yea I just read his other post now. Sounded like he just wanted to rustle jimmies

 

[computersputin]

Sounded more like poorly veiled racism to me. But what do I know.
Time to get back to cooking my Chop Suey and opening up my opium den and laundry mat down on Mott St.

I tried to shed some light on a specific attack against Asians Americans here:

Elderly Asian Man gets attacked, laughed at and Robbed for His Cans in SF.

Man I couldn't believe it when I saw this video this morning. What is going on in the country. You can watch the video here : VIDEO: Elderly Asian man attacked, humiliated while collecting cans in San Francisco neighborhood Disturbing video shows an elderly man collecting cans in San...

niketalk.com

But it got locked and I was called a race baiter.
I guess Asian Americans are model minorities and easy prey.

 

[everysingletime]

I went into that thread just now expecting to see tomfoolery, then I see that all the posts seem pretty normal

The perpetrators must already be on ignore

 

[computersputin]

How quickly that thread turned into "but asians are prejudiced against blacks too" thread. If I even dared (or was ignorant enough) to bring something like that to the Aubrey thread with " but blacks are prejudiced against whites too", I'd be a SWS.



Would you like starch on these shirts?

My stance is no one should ever attack, judge, or hold hatred on anyone else based solely on their race. ESPECIALLY amongst minorities.
This is not some Struggle Olympics to see who had it hardest in the US, because we all know the answer to that.

However, all minorities faced some form of backlash, attacks, prejudice upon coming to America. May it be Blacks, Asians, Hispanics, Etc.
And instead of trying to fight amongst ourselves out of ignorance, we should find commonalities and work together to eliminate prejudice and leave our next generation with a better future.
Aspiring to better oneself or one's race in the present society should never be looked upon as "model minority" or "wanting to be white".
A lot of Asian Americans came to America to seek a better life for themselves and their family, and if achieving higher education, better careers, or simply abiding to the law of the land, is deemed "model minority" tactics, well then I don't know what I can tell you to change your mind.

I don't really want to click on the ignored posts. I just want to have a relaxing day.
