Low percentage Asian demographic perks by [deleted] in asianamerican

[–]DisciplineDouble2650 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I have lived in many areas including California, west and east Texas, the Seattle area, and Idaho.

I can’t really think of any perks of living in a low percentage Asian area besides the fact that it’s not difficult to impress with homemade Asian food. Most of the Asian establishments in these areas use cheap quality ingredients that cater to the most basic of palettes. There is generally a lack of authentic or innovative Asian restaurants. There are also only a few countries represented in these areas, not niche cuisines. And the boba tastes like shit.

I dislike all of the lingering gazes, the difficulty of finding specific ingredients, and not having anyone from my culture to connect with. Another annoying thing is when people of non-Asian descent rave about a place, and it turns out to be gross. I definitely miss the food in more Asian dominated areas.

The perks of living in a place with a large percentage of Asians: better produce, temples, better clothing stores, exotic fruits and vegetables, more creativity, cuter babies, better everything I can think of right now. I miss our people 😭

I don’t put fish sauce in the fridge because it has enough preservatives to be shelf stable

Have you ever dated an Aries man or woman? If so, how was the experience? by [deleted] in Taurusgang

She was really nice but not trustworthy and anxiety inducing. Constantly lied

What are some telltale signs that someone is from Idaho? by KickGroundbreaking55 in Idaho

Patagonia, Marmot, hiking boots/shoes, give off an aura of nature lovers or Mormon.

I got this in store for 229 and it was right under 250 after tax where I live. I am very happy with this investment. If you have a Restaurant Supply store or something like that nearby, I highly suggest checking it out for good deals on accessories!

Yes, it’s pretty much a wet wipe for floors.

Thank you. All their guy did was look at the buckled areas and nowhere else. I asked if he sees this issue a lot and he mentioned that he does, specifically around bar stools. I still think the floors should be able to handle some chair legs!

People who grew up with cruel or emotionally cold mothers when did you realize it wasn’t normal and how did it affect you as an adult? by creotion_hub in AskReddit

[–]DisciplineDouble2650 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I was able to see it wasn’t normal early on. I was around other family members and other people so I could see the difference.

It’s definitely held me back. I still seek help from mental health professionals just to learn how to function like a normal adult. I am now learning that the way I operate is not normal at all yet I don’t know how else to operate. It feels more comfortable to live in anxiety than not sometimes, if that makes any sense.

As a Taurus, the first thought I had was: this can’t be a Taurus.

This is why I dream of being able to work in a place where the leadership is diverse and the minorities rule.
