It is.
I'll admit I might not be the right one to answer since I'm not a "FOB", but I do have a lot of relatives who are.
And honestly, I've only heard Asians use the word. In some ways it was to distinguish (not really in a negative way) between those who were born here and those who weren't. It's more of a culture thing I guess ...
I think in this context it's reclaimed a source of pride.

I always thought that meant unamericanized or something like that.
Doesnt sound negative to me.

I'm trying to bump into her at the grocery store, or ATT buying a phone, or teaching a zumba class....

you not really going to run into Asians at a zumba class bruh. That's a Hispanic thing in Cali. Hit the yoga spots or a crossfit gym or a boba/coffee spot and you Gucci.

Had a crush on her when I was younger, she was on some shows back in the day, can't remember but she said a sideways comment about dating black dudes on The Real(Wifey watches don't judge me[emoji]128516[/emoji]) ever since then can't really look at her the same[emoji]128516[/emoji]
But I like the show...
The quote about biggie had me dying[emoji]128557[/emoji]

What'd she say? I've heard her talk about how her frist crush and kiss was her black neighbor and that she's dated black guys before.
I used to think she was really attractive but not a fan of the bleached hair, the fake hair extensions, and all that heavy makeup. Her personality is really perky. Plus whenever she talks she od's on the hand gestures. Looks like she's trying to give signals from the sidelines or dugout.

You definitely need to come to the Bay if you think she's "fine." She good looking but there's WAAAAAAAYYYY better everyday asian girls out here.
Anyway, loving the show. Love all the hiphop references thrown in. You can tell Eddie Huang is a true school hiphop head. Even got that Nas illmatic, OG Snoop doggystyle, "G'z and Hustlaz"

The show is funny and good so far. Has just as much potential as Black-ish does, all depends on writing or how much they use from the book. I'll keep up with it. Love the soundtrack.
The complaints for this show are a bit stupid. They're not gonna all talk in Chinese when they're home so the majority of the show can be in captions. THINK. If you wanna be accommodated like that watch some Asian programming.
George Lopez sucks and so did his show. He is not funny AT ALL.
Jeannie Mai is cute/fine with makeup on, just face wise cuz she has no body really. About average with no makeup if you ever seen her without. She married and still has a thing for that black penis.

Just watched the first two episodes, and I'll continue to watch mainly for the soundtrack. It did for some funny moments in my opinion.

By you saying this I can tell there's a huge cultural disconnect as to why you have that perspective. You can't relate to his subject matter, but that doesn't mean he isn't funny.
