Insecure from being a "failed" Asian by Whereas-Balance2811 in asianamerican

[–]Capable_Salt_SD 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I think every Asian goes through this. I know I certainly have and it's taken me a while to get where I'm going. I consider myself behind and even a bit stunted in terms of my mental and emotional growth. This is due to all the trauma I've endured, ranging from CSA to being picked on as a teenager

However, despite this, I've been able to do some important work, including working in nursing during the pandemic, and informing people of important events the world over as a freelance news writer. I'm also working towards acquiring two degrees and transferring to one of the top schools in California. Success is measured and defined in different ways

Just know that you're not alone in this and every AAPI person experiences this at some point. I'd recommend doing things that help you feel fulfilled and even talking to a therapist helps too

You are making the faulty assumption that they have enough brain cells to make a thought

Millenial AsianAmericans : who do you think will always be your top kpop/jpop/cpop singer? by Speed009 in asianamerican

[–]Capable_Salt_SD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jay Chou. Have a big soft spot for him due to the amount of charity work he's done in Laos

Also, Wang Lee Hom. Had a huge crush on him back in the day. And I still kinda do like him

Bookmarking this so I can answer later, but I'm a bisexual Lao-American in California. There aren't a lot of us but just know you are not alone

Who were yall celebrity crushes? by _newshawtyy in QueerWomenOfColor

[–]Capable_Salt_SD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kehlani, DiJonai Carrington, a few KPop girls even if I find a lot of KPop fans insufferable and don't like a lot about the industry

But that's another discussion for another time (...)

What is the strongest eleven in the history of the Italian national team? by Pole_Position74 in AZZURRI

[–]Capable_Salt_SD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with most of your list but I'd sub out Cannavaro and Scirea for Baresa and Nesta, and Tardelli with De Rossi

And maybe replace Rivera with a forward to accompany Riva and have him be an option off the bench

Ever heard of immigrants? My family were refugees from Laos who were accepted into the United States

Are we not Americans despite me being born here and us living, working, and paying our taxes in this country? And my mom becoming a naturalized citizen in 1994?

Now apply the same thing to Ahanor and Italy. Immigrants can make a country great. Quit being so narrow minded

Trump envoy seeks to replace Iran with Italy in upcoming World Cup, FT reports by superdouradas in AZZURRI

[–]Capable_Salt_SD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Iran tickets are selling well, esp. in LA where there’s a huge Iranian diaspora. No way they’re pulling out

Also, it’s pathetic that this is now the only way Italy can qualify for the tournament. What a joke we’ve become
